Andrew Kornblatt 🐙 Doghouse Reilly Cookie Monster No, Cookie Monster would react by having no idea what shrinkflation means. If he was told that it caused his cookies to be smaller he would be aghast. But he would not connect it to a concept. He would just be upset about the smaller cookies. He is a monster, not an adult human

Doghouse Reilly Cookie Monster I understand what you're pointing out. Yes, the real world needs to come to Sesame Street. But that doesn't mean that The Muppet characters need to react in a real-world way.  The Muppet characters' reactions need to rise from their own naive and pure world.

To clear something up, the real world does indeed need to come to Sesame Street. But that doesn't mean that The Muppet characters need to react in the same real-world way.  The Muppet characters' reactions need to rise from their own naive and pure world.

I realize now what happened.  My head and heart are still in the Sesame Street that existed when Joan Cooney was active in it and when Jim and Jon Stone were alive, and when I was still performing on it.  But I have not kept up with it for years. I guess it's changed.

My wife and I had the best time with Tommy and Dickie Smothers a few years ago. And their stage performance was masterful and brilliant. Tommy was a true and brave original. Our hearts go out to you Dickie. Love, F & V

Veterans' Day. I think of older men who have survived wars and deserve so much from us.   And traveling to Normandy last May it was achingly clear we owe so much to those mostly young men who never thought they'd end up being buried under a field of thousands of white crosses.

Tomorrow, Oct 25, the film, FUZZY HEAD is in L.A. I am an Exec Producer. My son is one of the Producers. No. Not just nepotism. It feels like film work from the 60's-70's when there was cinematic experimentation. Director Wendy McColm did a great job. End of blatant plug. Oh....

Really disappointed that no cable news channels covered President Biden’s speech moments ago on his actions to combat the extreme heatwave & climate crisis facing millions of Americans. THIS is the type of leadership & action people want to hear about, but our media fails us.

On days like today, I am reminded how lucky we are to have Joe Biden as our President Biden.

The truth is, Joe didn't have to run in 2020, but he did to help save our democracy. And since taking office, he has had one of the most successful presidencies in modern American history, even…

This one hurts—losing Alan.  After appearing on The Muppet Show we became affectionate pen-pals. An extraordinary, undefinable talent & unique human-being-mensch. Alan would hate maudlin things being said about him.Okay, Alan. I'll stop. But if you don't hear from me, I blame you

Okay. Buy the Wall Street Journal bestseller RISK FORWARD written by my amazing wife Victoria Labalme-out in paperback today. It's a short, colorful, & deeply profound read, truly helpful for whenever we hit a grey area in our lives... End of Proud Husband Tweet.

Harry Belafonte. The Muppet Show. Jim loved working with him. We all did. That show took on such a different texture from our other shows because of Harry's contributions. We all wanted to make it right for him. It was an honor and a privilege to work with such a rare human.

After Oscars’ embarrassing telecast last year I was close to resigning from the Academy. This time I was relieved to see that the Oscars telecast was about movies again! I could have done without the bear, but thanks Academy for taking that first step to reclaiming your soul.
