My dad brought this up to me last night: Wouldn't it be nice if Steve appeared in this special just like Caroll and Fran?

I mean, I suppose. I don't see it as likely because of how he was let go.

Also, this is going to be, what, an hour long? They can only do so much.

Fair point.

Wasn’t it Sesame Workshop that said they didn’t want to fire Steve but, they were willing to work something out for things like conventions?

I don't think these convention appearances are officially Sesame-sanctioned things. They might get Sesame's permission to use their name in promoting them.

I know this feels like a LONG SHOT, but here is hoping Joey Mazzarino would put aside differences with Sesame Workshop and they reach out to him to at least make an appearance during the 50th anniversary special.

I mean at the very least give us a Stinky the Stinkplant cameo in this special, right ?

Apparently everybody on this forum hates Stinky, so. . . .
