It was a real life stetch. Here's the scenario >


A boss asks his detective worker to look for the number 10 (or maybe 20) at the beginning.

The detective looks at the cardboard with the number on it.

He then goes out of the office on the hunt for 20.

He goes to look at the door (something in his travels), and sees a 1.

He then goes to the elevator and theres a 2 near the elevator.

Anyways, it goes through all the numbers leading him to another office accoss town. He opens the door to the office and a gorilla starts chasing him around the office.

It ends with the gorilla holding the missing 20 (or 10) that the detective has been looking for.

Anyone remember this sketch from the early-mid '70s?

Anyone know what the heck I'm babbling about?

Also, was it ever featured on "Sesame Street Unpaved"?

I sure do remember that one. It was in fact a 20 that the boss tells him to get. At first the detective does not know what a 20 is. The boss says, "A 2 and a 0 together. Go out and get me one." The detective sees all the other numbers on the way. And no, I don't believe that this skit was ever showed on Noggin. They should have though; it was very good.
