Description of Pictures: Sesame Street & Pop Culture: 45 Years of Spoofs on the 'Street'
Sesame Street has continuously turned the sensations of the entertainment world into lighthearted attractions that make children and their parents laugh, sing, and learn. See a special screening of the new Sesame Street spoofs "Numeric Con" and "Star S'mores" (hilarious parodies of Comic-Con and Star Wars), debuting in the show's upcoming 45th season. Then explore the ways pop culture has played a vital role throughout the show's history during a panel discussion with the Sesame Street Muppets and Eric Jacobson (Grover and Bert), Joey Mazzarino (Murray Monster, Sesame Street head writer and director), David Rudman (Cookie Monster and Baby Bear), and Carol-Lynn Parente (executive producer). The discussion will be moderated by Chris Hardwick (Host of @midnight and Talking Dead, Nerdist).
