At first the video below of Jimmy Kimmel visiting the gang at 'Sesame Street' looks like a spoof. But the late night host actually went on 'Sesame Street' yesterday to talk to Abby Cadabby about siblings. Even cuter, his "brother and sister" Timmy and Kimmy joined in the fun.
We always knew there was a person behind loveable 'Sesame Street' character Elmo. But who knew he'd have such a surprisingly deep speaking voice?
It's anti-bullying week at 'Sesame Street' and everyone's favorite Muppets are speaking to the importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect.
To commemorate the occasion, rock legend Elvis Costello stopped by the Street to share the story of the time a mean old monster came along and kept him from counting to 10.
To combat the bullying of redheads that has become prevalent of late, famous redhead Conan O'Brien got even more famous redhead Elmo to cut a PSA defending his own kind. Check it out below and help stop the ginger hate.

'Sesame Street,' which recently featured a Justin Bieber-like Muppet, continues its pop-culture assault with this awesome little video spoofing 'Glee.'
The short, called 'G,' which teaches kids about the hard and soft sounds the letter can make, features Muppetized versions of several 'Glee' characters, including Finn, Rachel, Kurt, Artie, Mercedes, Sue Sylvester, and Mr. Schuester (who's redubbed Mr. Gooster).
The next time you've had a hard day, sit back and relax to the dulcet tones of Elmo and a Justin Bieber-lookalike as they wax poetic about jumbo shrimp and elephants in a song called 'Measure, Yeah, Measure.' Which may or may not be based on the Biebs' hit 'Never Say Never.'
As 'Sesame Street' prepares to kick off its 42nd season (seriously!) on September 26, several of the show's monsters stopped by 'Good Morning America' to wreak cuddly havoc.
Should long-time bachelor "roommates" Bert and Ernie tie the knot?
LGBT activist Lair Scott thinks so, and he has created on online petition on Change.org which requests that Sesame Street and PBS allow the pair to wed. According to the petition, such a matrimony would help teach kids that homophobia is not OK.
'Sesame Street' is known for its musical numbers but generally the lyrics lean a little more optimistic ("Sunny day / Sweeping the clouds away") than the rhymes in the Beastie Boys single 'Sure Shot' ("I've got the brand new doo-doo / guaranteed like Yoo-Hoo").
Still, there's something about this Sesame/Beastie rap mashup that just seems so right. It's nostalgic, flute heavy and hey, there's even some counting! That's got to be worth something, right?
