Revision as of 21:53, 25 November 2014

The Letter of the Day Games are a series of Sesame Street game shows which have occasionally appeared in Season 36 and later.

Unlike most Sesame Street game shows, this one has a voice-only announcer (not a Muppet host, but played by Matt Vogel). He promises Cookie Monster a whole lot of cookies for finding three things beginning with the letter of the day( as a consonant) in one minute. As on Beat the Time, Cookie has to race against the clock (a 1-minute limit, in this case).

His finds typically follow this pattern:

  1. A food whose name begins with the consonant, such as watermelon in the W sketch.
  2. A non-food object whose name begins with the consonant, often taken from some protesting Anything Muppet. (In the W sketch, Cookie snatches a wig from an old woman he has tracked down.)
  3. Prairie Dawn, who usually feels irritable because Cookie Monster has dragged her away in an uncomfortable situation. (In the W sketch, Prairie appears with a towel around her body and suds in her hair; she complains that she was in the middle of a bath.)
The offscreen announcer usually rejects Cookie's third example. ("Sorry, but 'girl' doesn't begin with the letter W!") Cookie Monster, however, finds some way to win the cookies on an observation of Prairie's present condition: in the W sketch, Prairie's being "wet" counts as a valid word. The sketch always ends with a shower of cookies (CGI in the older sketches, or actual props later); this annoys Prairie Dawn even further as Cookie Monster tries to grab some.
