Tonight on The Jay Leno Show, Jay had Jimmy Fallon on for the 10 @ 10 segment. Jimmy was in his studio in NY, and he showed everyone the pipes that the Muppeteers had painted decades ago while they were waiting to go on a show. The pipes are now preserved behind plexi-glass.

MSJ reference again. There was a segment called "There's a new Muppet on Sesame Street-And she's famous!" about Carrie Underworm. They also talked about the "Dust in the Wind" video.

Real life example: Today in math, my teacher asks, "Do you guys remember that thing from Sesame Street..." and before she can even finish the question everyone goes "Yes!" in unison. :big_grin: (I know how to tell the difference between when radicals are supposed to be added or distributed now.)

In one Simpsons episode, I forget which one exactly, The Simpsons were in jail, and so was Elmo.

For the celebrity question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? just now, the question was about the species of Oscar's pet Slimey, and the question was asked by Grover. :big_grin::super::grouchy:

Murphy, Sam, and Jodi sure are Muppet fans. :smile: They did a recipe for Swedish meatballs today, and they were trying to think of things that are from Sweden. "Sam, the Swedish Chef is from Sweden." :hungry:

It was Bart Mangled Banner, and apparently there was another reference on the Simpsons last night where Ralph said that he had a dream like Martin Luther King, only his dream was that Elmo, Toy Story and him had a party or something like that. I remember the dream part, I just didn't remember who was in the dream.

His exact line was "A dream is where Elmo and Toy Story had a party and I was invited." The drawing was of him, Elmo and Buzz Lightyear.
