user
This November 10, 2009, marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic
"Sesame Street." When we asked Sesame Workshop founder
and
wOw woman Joan Ganz Cooney what her
top 10 favorite moments in Sesame history were, she told us:
"We at Sesame Workshop are celebrating the 40th anniversary of
Sesame Street this year. Our first show was aired in November of
1969. There are so many memorable moments provided by such geniuses
as Jim Henson, Joe Raposo, Frank Oz, Jeff Moss, Kevin Clash and all
the fabulous writers, directors. producers, Muppeteers, and actors
who have worked on the show over the years."
Here are her top 10
(Click on each one to see the video clips)

Do” with Grover
2. Ernie singing “Rubber Duckie”
in his bathtub
3. All of the Grover pieces in
which he is the world’s most annoying waiter
4. Kermit singing “It’s Not That
Easy Being Green”
5. James Earl Jones reciting the

Most Heart-Wenching moment: When Mr. Hooper died and Big Bird found out about it. I watched it as an adult and cried my eyes out.

I totally remember when Mr. Hooper passed away, it was so sad. And Big Bird had drawn the picture of him and wanted to give it to him.
