I just want to say that even though I DESPISE the man in question, whenever I am in a bad mood, that Jack Black dance always makes me feel better.

Of course what you really wanted was an excuse to post a picture of Ryan Reynolds.

Fact Check: There is no such thing as a "Humiliation Factor" for Amy Sedaris.

And that's why the people love her.

A is for Assholes that's good enough for me

OH! Asshole Asshole Asshole starts with A!

Those of us who know it old school, already know how the music goes.

Celeb cameos have a always had a place on Sesame Street but nowadays it seems to be more obvious for their career than just to make a cameo on a children's show. If you doubt that then by comparision look at look at Stevie Wonder's 1970's jam session on the show. He didn't pussify his lyrics into some lame alphabet lesson, he just kicked it, and in the original showings it had shots of the kids and cast rocking out on the fire escape. No silly costumes, no dumbing down around the Muppets, and no humiliation. The same held true for most of the other cameos. Often they wouldn't even give their full names, just their first. They weren't celebs greeting their fans or celebs making asses of themselves on kiddie shows to falsely show their just like everyone else, they just simply just dressed and acted like everyone else, and were treated in kind. Hell, even R2D2 and C-3PO were call "Mr..." politely by everyone.

And while Paris Hilton hasn't exactly strolled into Hooper's Store just yet, some of these guys aren't exactly the most kid friendly assessable. Katy Perry comes to mind. Childen's shows shouldn't be pandering to the latest celebs, it should be the other way around.

By the way, was I the only one who half expected on of the monsters to spank Maggie Gyllenhaal's ass a la "Secretary" to better explain the word "surprise"?

Amy Sedaris shouldn't count, as she was clearly just playing Jerri Blank again. She may or may not have improvised a close-enough to kid-friendly street-walking joke. She usually works the night shift, don't you know?

Sarah Silverman's is far more humiliating than you give it credit for, too. Have you tried to teach mime to children? Cause I have, and it's like dying a thousand deaths. Not as bad as wearing that...thing that Jack Black had to, but pretty bad.

Who am I kidding? I'm sure Jack Black insisted on the funny costume, just like Amy Sedaris and Sarah Silverman. Amy probably already had that thing lying around, complete with wand, and brought it on set just in case she was playing a fairy.

1. The producers of Sesame Street are very good at getting people on who are, like Hansel, so hot right now or part of the zeitgeist.

2. A lot of people go on because they have small children and they want, a la Fonzie, cool points with their toddler.

3. If you've watched a lot of Sesame Street, you know that not only do the teach letters and numbers, but they also include a kind of introduction to cultural literacy.

That was a heaping helping of cynacism you brought to your post and I think it was frankly unwarranted.

*cynicism

Is Godtopus giving Jake Gyllenhaal head?

Hey, I recognize the header pic, I own that dvd...just lost all my coolness points, didn't I...

KEEP ELIJAH WOOD AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN!

I seriously cannot express how insanely creepy I find that man. I'd rather kiss Gollum than have to look at Mr. Wood for 10 seconds.

Does Gumby have a purple second cousin or something? When did Ryan Reynolds' face become purple-Gumby's groin?

Ricky Gervais is nothing but hysterical. The man amuses me verily. His segment where he sung the "N" lullaby to Elmo was awesome.

On another note, PBS keeps teasing me with a trailer showing Usher appearing to teach Elmo to sing and dance (a voiceover speaks as they show the clip, so I'm not sure) but I have yet to see the episode. I love Usher, my daughter loves Elmo, and I WANNA SEE THEM SING AND DANCE TOGETHER!!!

That is all.

I’m not astounded to seeall these remarks .I think it’s a marvellous blogtoo.
