Happy Birthday, Sesame Street!!! The children’s show turns 40 years old today. Don’t worry, Sesame Street, I hear 40 is the new 30.

And what better what to celebrate than with an animated gif?  One with How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris, no less:

Sesame Street: Neil Patrick Harris & Elmo

On a related note, Erin just opened my eyes to Kevin Clash, the actor who voices Elmo.  Feast your eyes on the dude:

Sesame Street: Kevin Clash & Elmo

A hefty gent!  I certainly pictured Elmo’s voice actor a small peanut of a man.  Go figure!

Sesame Street Spoofs Mad Men

Wow! Sesame Street’s parody of Mad Men finally aired.  Check it out:

That title sequence is all sorts of awesome!  Way better than the one on the actual show.

My only complaint?  They so easily could’ve gone with “Glad Men.”  “Happy Men”?  That barely makes sense.  Step it up, Sesame Street.

Tina Fey and the Bookaneers

Oh, cry cry cry, all you write about is Tina Fey and and The Golden Girls.

Well ex-cuuuuuuse us!  Get your own blog, whinecakes!

Um.  So today, I came across this video of 30 Rock’s Tina Fey on Sesame Street.  She plays a pirate who loves to read - a bookaneer!  Peep this and fall in love all over again:

Totally awesome.  And VERY relevant, in light of this week’s pirate news.  Pirates are totally in vogue right now.

Tina Fey truly has her finger on the pulse of the nation.

Ricky Gervais Pals Around With Elmo

Posted by KAT in Extras, Sesame Street, The Office

Oh man.  Ricky Gervais of The Office (U.K.) and Extras recently sat down with Sesame Street’s Elmo to film a segment for the show’s 40th anniversary DVD set.  A few outtakes were leaked online and voila! The latest viral vid was born:

Kind of awesome.  I especially like when Gervais asks Elmo why he’s wearing pajamas.  Totally legitimate question.

And on a separate note, Elmo giggling is cuter than a kitten sneezing.  This forty-something-year-old li’l red-furred cutie really stands the test of time.  Like George Clooney.

But I digress.  Interesting semi-gossip for fans of The Office and Gervais this morning, too: The Mirror hints that Gervais may reprise his role as David Brent for the U.S. version’s final show.  Sounds pretty iffy at the moment, but I’ll take it.

For those of you U.S. Office fans who haven’t seen the U.K. version, you’re really missing out.  It’s more intense and possibly funnier.

My message to n00bs: watching The Office (U.S.) without having seen The Office (U.K.) is like joining Facebook without ever having paid your dues on MySpace (or Friendster, for that matter!).  Completely disrespectful.

Or whatever, just watch the U.S. flavor, see if I care.  It’s really good, after all.
