Here are some pics from today's appearance...

They didn't really let him do much, and he was shoved at the end... but you've got to love how enthusiastic the little kids were... even if that Spider-Man kid thought he was Oscar.

His appearance was a bit of a cameo, but the kids were soo cute. I giggled when the kid dressed as Spider-Man mistaken him for Oscar. Overall, it was a nice appearance and worthwhile to promote a children's book.

I loved it! Especially when the Count said to the Spider-man kid, "Did you just call me Oscar?"

I can't help but wonder if the kid knew who he was and was just trying to be "cute" with that. You never know.

I think I see the difference between Jerry's Count and Matt's Count now. I hear more gruffness in Matt's. I haven't really noticed it before and I think it's because it's sort of the same deal with Steve's and Eric's , etc. When something is taped they have more time to rehearse, but for live appearances they're just sort of winging it and don't have a lot of time to get the voice right. Just my theory. Overall, Matt is doing well for just starting out and I really liked the appearance.

It's nice to see The Count again. It's too bad that Jerry Nelson died.

Love this appearance. I will say Couric's plug of the reading program might be the most awkward plug in the history of broadcast television.
