    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    Maybe they did, but I don't think they were on the official Sesame Street YouTube channel.

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    After seeing that tribute video Sesame Workshop did to honor Caroll Spinney, I was thinking that's the kind of thing Sesame Workshop hasn't done for its official YouTube channel, and hope they can do more with other performers and people involved with the show. But now I wonder if maybe they...

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    This is sad news, but I'm not really surprised. It is great that he'll achieve his goal of making it to season 50 (and season 49 hasn't even started airing yet). But I see a lot of people online talking about this (and this applies more to reactions from fans on Facebook than on the Muppet...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    I've seen it mentioned a few times on the wiki that some of these scripts appear to be transcribed from the episodes after they were finished (I think it was said the original scripts were lost or whatever, in that case it's great they bothered to create new copies), and I've heard of some old...

    Muppets Tonight: What went wrong

    I thought it was better with Statler and Waldorf watching from a variety of locations than just watching in a nursing home. Interesting about Coolio, that one also announced Don Rickles as a guest, and was the only episode to really announce two different guest stars (a few episodes had a...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Today I got the Elmo Explores DVD. I don't know whether people were wondering or if it was just me, but the three classic Elmo's World episodes selected as bonus features are the original edits as opposed to five-minute cropped-to-widescreen edits (I don't really know off-hand if they made...

    New Trivia Article about Follow That Bird

    I feel I'd heard the story about them painting leaves green, but can't remember where I'd heard it.

    New Trivia Article about Follow That Bird

    I wonder where they got their info about some of these, like Elmo originally going to have a bigger part or John Landis being offered to direct. If Elmo was given his bigger part, it would have given Richard Hunt a bigger role in the movie.

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    What insert scripts was he called "AM Elmo" in? Is the name used in segments where he doesn't talk and it wouldn't really matter who was used (like "Me Lost Me Cookie in the Disco", "Grover Sells Newspapers", "Kermit News: First Day of School", etc.)? I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't named...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    I enjoyed this. So Elmo was often called "AM Elmo" in scripts for insert segments? Did they do that with any other characters with no distinct personality (like "AM Maurice" or "AM Harvey")? I feel this should go in the main Elmo page on the wiki. So is that one Elmo appearance from season...

    The Leslie Mostly Show with Guy Smiley

    So great to see the Kermit sketch, even if I can't hear the original English. I was a little confused by the description saying he repeats what he did with the hats after being asked what a reporter does, but from the looks of it, it looks like Kermit was going back and forth acting like himself...

    Video of Elmo with Richard Hunt's voice

    Which gets me thinking, in The Street We Live On, we see Elmo learn about Mr. Hooper, but is anybody familiar with the clip shown (I don't really know what I can say about the clip that's specific enough to stand out)? I wonder if that clip came before or after Elmo was introduced.

    Video of Elmo with Richard Hunt's voice

    I guess the only way we'd truly know (as opposed to maybe being a mistake) would be if we could find info on taping dates (I wouldn't be surprised if Sesame Workshop still had a copy of every insert with either an image or a shot of the slate board). Though it is interesting when it comes to...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Maybe this would be good as its own thread, but I've seen pages from Sesame Street scripts and know that episode scripts include listings of all inserts that appear. Makes me wonder if the writers have/had a big guide to the inserts to determine what to include. I know the CTW Archives has the...

    Video of Elmo with Richard Hunt's voice

    Actually, they did show some pre-Kevin Clash Elmo after the recast. I know there's a late-1980s episode that contains "Me, Claudias", unaltered. Don't know of any other examples, though I'm guessing most of Meehl and Hunt's Elmo performances were in street scenes that weren't inserts. Also...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    And yet Warner Bros. still won't allow certain racial cartoons like the censored eleven (which came very close to getting a DVD release back in 2010) or certain Japanese-themed WWII cartoons (which, outside of some Private Snafu shorts and Any Bonds Today?, are the only WWII-themed cartoons that...

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems like Noggin didn't edit Muppet inserts from Sesame Street Unpaved, but quite a few street scenes, that were part of the plot and not aired in other episodes that Noggin aired, were cut. Noggin needed to cut a few minutes from each episode, but I would think they'd cut material that...

    Video of Elmo with Richard Hunt's voice

    Both episodes containing "Richard Hunt as Elmo" clips that appear in Being Elmo have guides at Muppet Wiki now, and the other one shares an episode number with this very year - 2018.
