Elmo Takes Pleasure In Jon Hamm's Pain On Sesame Street
Don Draper has officially made his way from Madison Avenue to Sesame Street.
Citing the undeniable fact that the "Mad Men" star’s rugged good looks seem as if they’re already carved from marble, Sesame Street decided to team up Jon Hamm with a beret-topped Elmo in order to educate America’s children about the wide world of sculpture.

Before Armond White (and Statler and Waldorf) there was Oscar the Grouch, the OG grumpy critic. He hasn't been getting a lot of mainstream play lately -- probably because he lives in a trashcan -- but the good folks at AOL and Sesame Street would like to change that.
Thanks to the power of internet video, Oscar has a soap box from which to predict this year's Oscar winners. Why this short isn't called "Oscar on Oscars," the world may never know. Get More »

Sesame Workshop
R-rated favorite Jonah Hill refrained from swearing for 58 seconds to stop by "Sesame Street" and explain the definition of the word mustache to Elmo. (Apparently Elmo's never caught an episode of "Magnum P.I." with Tom Selleck.)
