I hope this is the case. Also, didn't Gordon make a small appearance this season?A spokesperson for Sesame Workshop told the Associated Press Bob, Luis and Gordon aren't going anywhere.
She also made it clear that HBO is not part of any of the show's decision making processes.

Isn't that more or less what they've been doing for the last few years?Like saying we are going to fire you, but if for some reason we may need you for a cameo be ready.
There's a difference between a show they acquired from another channel and an original series.Henson has had problems with HBO and creative differences in the past that's all I'm saying.
