Anderson Cooper on Sesame Street
I just saw a unique combination on CNN - Anderson Cooper and SesameStreet. It was a snippet of Anderson Cooper interviewing 'Dan Rather-not' and 'Walter Crank-ite' out of Oscar's trashcan - sweet.
I guess I get slightly tickled when I hear about Anderson Cooper, who was once in our junior high classrooms for Channel One. His bio is actually quite amazing, considering that a young Yale graduate started by being rejected for an entry job at ABC, worked for a youth school news program, quit his job, smuggled himself into Burma (with a fake ID), and then made his big break. He definitely had the cahunas, and his thoughts about wanting to be in a place with tension and conflict is understandable.
Sesame Street is great. When we first moved to the US, my brother, mother, and I all learned how to speak English (and to count in Spanish) by watching the show every day.
I can't wait till the Anderson trashcan interview episode actually comes out on TV.
