I should really first ask if Sesame Street Unpaved did air Monday at 3/4 AM, and if so, which one?

Here's another earlier scenario in which Cookie Monster spoke. In the second Unpaved episode, Bert tells Ernie about a monster which just ate the bacon he made. The same monster appears in shot and eats the letter "X" Ernie just made. When asked why, the monster says, "I always like to eat bacon...

Re: Re: Re: Reply There's an endearing moment during that scenario where Bob flubs his line but recovers as best he can. He says "all four of these things are circles, Different. No, wait, you're names not 'Different', you're name is Grover!" I'm kind of glad they used that take. :)

I'm pretty sure in the "W" bit in Show #1, Frank Oz was operating Cook... er, "The Monster". Judging from the monster sounds he was making. And the physical way that monster moved.

There was a skit where Grover's mommy was depicted as the Green-Brown-Gray Grover in a wig and eyeshadow. I guess they still kept the old puppet around even if they used a new blue Grover.

I tuned into that episode and kinda dug it. I think a fun twist to that plot, (I realize this might really belong in the "Things They'd Never Say" column) is if the culprit turned out to be Ernie in a Cookie Monster suit. He could probably say to the moms and dads in the viewing audience...

He was played by Richard Hunt.

As well as "old fuzzy face" he was referred to as "the hairy one". Interestingly, in Unpaved he's described as being a greyish-green. Since then, I've always referred to him as Green Grover. There must have been other skits with Kermit and 1st Season Green Grover, as Kermit initially reacted...

Very possible, Scooter. The only reason I had my doubts about Marilyn Sokol actually puppeteering is from a past thread with Jerry Nelson. (I looked, but can't relocate that message, it must have been long ago.) To the best of my memory, Jerry mentioned that Ms. Sokol did puppeteer for The...

Well, if we can't find one, we'll have to make one, then. Let's see if we can't gather some voices together for a Sesame acapella! (Enter Swedish Chef, Animal, Beaker, trunk of Oscar's Elephant Fluffy, Two-Headed Monster) On second thought, forget I said anything. :)

Did Marilyn puppeteer that? I thought she just provided the precorded voices.

I wonder who operated Cookie, er, the AM monster in that skit. It was most likely Fran Brill or Jerry Nelson, I just can't tell whose puppeteering style that was.

Re: Reply Richard's Piggy did sound like Gladys sometimes, particularly when singing "Temptation". I never thought of a "cow" accent, but Richard did use it when playing cows on TMS. My favorite was in the Bernatte Sills skit, where she wanted Kermit to book "Madame Buttermilk."

I liked the brief interactions between Alan and Gladys.

And if so, which Unpaved episode appeared last night.... or I should say, this morning at 4 AM (or was it 3)?

That soldier, of course, was Arte Johnson. Among this character's catchphrases was "Very interesting."

Ah, I liked the Bad Bart and the female Marshall Surprise Birthday cake bit. Unless I miss my guess, the Marshall was voiced by Marilyn Sokol and the entire dialogue was prerecorded.

Well, here goes nothing. I think these are correct: Seems like you described him pretty well. He was performed by Jerry Nelson in sort of a German-like voice (or was it Russian-like?) at years ago when CTW's website used to play Sesame clip, there was one with him. (It isn't there now...

Michael Jackson actually did appear in a Sesame Street Christmas Special in either '78, '79 or '80. (Not the Christmas Eve on SS, of course). I'd like to see Bear (in the Big Blue House) as a guest, doing skits with Big Bird.

Hi SS, Which do you feel is better, from a professional and practical point of view, when it comes to a Muppeteer dubbing a voice? Using Caroll and Oscar as an example: given the choice between Caroll precording his lines and Oscar lipsynching later or Caroll dubbing Oscar's voice in...
