~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The intro starts with the muppets boarding home showing on the screen, And kermit Opens the door:
Kermit: its the muppet Show Life in the boarding home! Starting with fozzie for this pilot!
And the music in the background is the muppets Show theme but more energetic, everyone are shown in the House doing their activities while singing the muppets Show theme song:
"its time to play the music,
Its time to light the lights!
Its time to get things started in the muppets boarding home tonight!
Its time to put on makeup,
Its time to dress up Bright!
Its time to raise the curtains in the muppets boarding home tonight!
Statler: why do we even live here?
Waldorf: I guess we'll never know.
Statler & waldorf (together): its like a kind of torture to have to live in here.
The camera Shows Kermit infront of the door
Kermit: But now lets get things started! ♪
Miss piggy: why dont we get things started?~ ♪
Fozzie: Its time to get things started! ♪
Then the camera shows all of the muppets in the muppets boarding home sing at the same time:
All muppets: ♪ On the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational-
Welcome to the muppets boarding HOOOOOOOMEEEE!!! ♪ ♪ ♪
Then gonzo tries to play a tune on the trumpet but then a Badge comes out saying: "secret wocka bear"
Gonzo: what the?-
Then fozzie snatches the badge
Fozzie: OH! thats mine! Hahahahaha!
Then the title card of fozzie dressed up as the "secret wocka agent" shows up with fozzie's voice saying: "who's that wocka agent?" While the instrumental of the lazytown song called "man on a mission" is playing.
-
The camera shows the muppets boarding home. The camera shows inside the kitchen of the boarding home, there were only Kermit, miss piggy, gonzo, Pepe And Rizzo in the kitchen, others were probably either in their rooms or outside.
Kermit: hey, where's fozzie?
Pepe: probably fantasizing about being an famous comedian, okay?
Rizzo: well, he is one, Pepe.
Pepe: well, okay, but still, okay?
Then Rizzo slaps his hands on the table And glares at Pepe
Rizzo: CAN YOU LIKE STOP SAYING "OKAY" AT THE END OF EVERY SENTENCE YOU SAY!?!?
Pepe, smirking: eeehh.... No, okay!
Rizzo: UGHHHH!!
Then fozzie comes from upstairs And he is carrying an poster with The wocka agent bear on it.
Fozzie: hiya, Guys! I have an AGENTY thing to tell ya! Hehehehahaha!
Gonzo: oh, what is it, fozz?
Fozzie, who has a big exciting smile on his face, he shows the poster of the wocka agent bear on it.
Fozzie: This is the wocka agent bear!! And he is in OUR TOWN!!
Kermit, miss piggy, gonzo, pepe And Rizzo stare at the poster for a few seconds And then they start laughing, but Kermit was chuckling
Kermit: oh, fozzie... Wocka agent bear doesnt exist! He is just a character from the comic for our town.
Miss piggy, laughing loudly: yeah!! And if he even existed, he would call moi to go on a date with him.
Kermit And fozzie stare at miss piggy with an awkward look on their faces
Miss piggy: what!? Im just joking.
Fozzie: wait! What do you mean that he DOESNT exist? He does!
Rizzo: oh, really? You Got proof, fozz?
Fozzie, sweating a little bit: well... I, uhhh...
Kermit, miss piggy, gonzo, Rizzo And pepe start laughing loudly again And even nearly falling off their chairs. And fozzie has a sad expression on his face.
Fozzie: Aww.... Looks like they dont believe me.
Fozzie sighs And goes upstairs to his room again, And then chip the IT Guy was going downstairs while Seeing fozzie going upstairs And he sees Kermit, miss piggy, gonzo, Rizzo and pepe laughing loudly.
Chip: uh.. can you Guys Shut up? Zondra, Ubu and I are trying to do our show, And you're interupting us with your loud laughing.
Kermit, miss piggy, gonzo, Rizzo And pepe stop laughing but they are still smilling And have tears in their eyes from laughing
Kermit: oh, sorry, chip. Fozzie was trying to tell us that the "wocka agent bear" exists-
Chip: yeah, yeah, whatever. I dont care. But PLEASE Shut up and be quiet! Again, zondra, Ubu and I are tryna do our sho-
Rizzo, smirking: oh, when you mean THAT, you mean trying to sabotage us, right?
Then chip started sweating
Chip: uhh... No? We- youknowwhat? Whatever.
Chip started to walk away while staring at them but then he bumps into a wall And breaks his glasses, And he looks down at those broken glasses.
Chip, his eye twitching from annoyance: oh, how great.
Chip takes his broken glasses And runs upstairs again. Then Kermit, miss piggy, gonzo, Rizzo And pepe started laughing loudly again And even fell from their chairs while saying: "OW!!"
Meanwhile with fozzie, he was in his room And he was still looking at the poster of wocka agent bear And he sighs
Fozzie: I wish others would believe that you're real, Mr. Wocka agent bear..
Fozzie was still looking sad And then he Got an Idea And he gasps
Fozzie: oh, shucks! I can be the wocka agent bear! And then the others will believe me!
Then fozzie points at himself
Fozzie: fozzie, you're a genius! Why thank you! Wocka wocka-
Then he puts on a black agent hat And he speaks in the voice he had as foozie on muppets 2011
Fozzie: wockaaaaa...
-
The camera shows the outside of the muppets boarding home, And it shows Hilda with her Bag, And then kermoot jumps infront of her
Hilda: oh!
Kermoot: Gimme yo Bag, Lady!
Hilda: oh why there's no way that i'll give you MY Bag!
Kermoot then sighs
Kermoot: welp, you made me gonna do it!
Kermoot then snatches Hilda's bag And runs away
Hilda: HEY!! MY BAG!!
But then fozzie- I MEAN! wocka agent bear shows up and he puts a bear trap on the walkway And kermoot steps in it, yelling loudly And dropping the bag
Kermoot: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!!! OH GOD!!!!!
All the muppets look outside the windows And see the scenario And some gasp
Wocka agent bear (fozzie) takes the Bag And he gives it back to Hilda
Hilda: ah! Thank you, dearie!
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): your welcome, ma'am. Its my Job to protect everyone And solve mysteries.
Everyone in the muppets boarding home looked amazed And shocked because they thought that wocka agent bear REALLY exists
Gonzo: Woah... Fozzie was right! Wocka agent bear DOES exist!
Fozzie Heard that And he was proud of himself for dressing up as wocka agent bear to make others believe that agent wocka bear DOES exist
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): well! My Job here is done.
Then wocka agent bear (fozzie) runs away somewhere near the muppets boarding home, but the muppets didnt notice that he went there somewhere near the boarding home
Then fozzie whispers to himself
Fozzie: oh boy! I cant believe they believed it! Now they wont make fun of me!
Fozzie Chuckles And he takes off the wocka agent bear clothes and he hides them behind his back and he gets back to others, who are still looking outside And chatting about wocka agent bear
Fozzie: hiya, Guys! Whats going on?
All of the muppets look at fozzie And smile
Kermit: fozzie! Wocka agent bear really does exist!
Fozzie: really!!? Woah! See? I told ya he does exist!
Yolanda: definetly! I even have a picture of him giving Hilda back her bag!
Yolanda shows the picture to fozzie
Fozzie: Woah! He looks just like on my poster!
Yolanda: he sure does! He looked so hot!!
Pepe: not as hot as me, okay!
All the muppets groan And roll their eyes as Pepe Said that
Pepe: wha??
Fozzie: oh boy... Im very glad you Guy believe me now! See?! He does exist!
Kermit: well, it looks like he does, fozzie.
Fozzie: well! I'll go now to MY room! And be happy about you Guys believeing me!
Fozzie laughs And he goes inside the House And goes upstairs to his room
The muppets were still looking outside through the windows, or balconies or Doors, And miss piggy gasps, she Got an idea
Miss piggy: oh moi!! We should sing about this!!
Some muppets say: "yeah!" And some groan, especially chip
Chip: im not in the moo-

Meanwhile with fozzie, he was in his room And he looked proud of himself for making other muppets believe that wocka agent bear is real
Fozzie: I cant believe the others really believed me! This is the best Day of my Life!!
He was still very proud of himself
After a few hours, it was night, everyone went to bed except for fozzie, he wore his wocka agent bear clothes and he again has the voice of wocka agent bear (foozie from muppets 2011) And he whispers to himself
Fozzie: its time to solve mysteries.
Then he Got out of his balcony And was outside the muppets boarding home, about to solve some mysteries
Fozzie- I MEAN, wocka agent bear, was going around the muppetown, And then he saw an shadowy figure from behind the trash cans
Wocka agent bear (fozzie), whispering: ah-ha!
Wocka agent bear started walking fastly towards that shadowy figure And he jumps on it, trapping it
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): I GOT YOU!!
Then it shows that it was Bonzor, the "fantastic", wearing his acrobatic clothes but they looked more darker
Bonzor the fantastic: hah! You Got me, Mr. "Wocka agent bear". But I Got my friends with me.
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): hahaha! Really? Let me see them.
Bonzor smirks And he snaps his fingers, And then lots of roosters come out from behind some places, like shops, trash cans, bushes, trees... Etc.
Wocka agent bear looks around And he sees roosters surrounding him And Bonzor, Bonzor kicks wocka agent bear with his legs, making wocka agent bear letting him go.
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): OW! you are strong there, boy.
Bonzor the fantastic: I am?
Bonzor Chuckles And smirks again And he flexes his muscles
Bonzor the fantastic: why ofcourse I am! Hahahahaha! ROOSTERS!!! ATTACK HIM!!
Then all the roosters started bitting And attacking wocka agent bear while he is Screaming And yelping in pain
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): OW!! AAH!! OW OW OW! OH THAT HURTS-
And suddenly some muppets like selena, Tammy, Hilda, Cliffy, cliffster And a few others from their own houses opened their Windows And peeked outside And they gasp And look surprised, but Bonzor ran away with The roosters before they noticed them.
Wocka agent bear was laying on the ground with bruises And scratches, but he wasnt very far away from muppets boarding home, even the muppets from the boarding home Heard the Screaming noises And they all gasp loudly as they saw wocka agent bear from a little afar
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): goouhhhhh... That Hurt, A LOT!
Then he immediately Got up and ran away And he hides in the shadows, with other muppets in the boarding home being confused, concerned And scared. And a few muppets from other houses being surprised And scared. But cliffster recorded the whole thing.
Cliffster: Holy... Toledo.. this is awkward.
Meanwhile with The muppets in the boarding home, they were all chatting And talking about what happend
Kermit: oh gosh... That didnt look good! He Got very Hurt by those roosters.
Gonzo: wait! Those were Bonzor's roosters!
All the muppets: really!?!?
Gonzo: yeah!
Rowlf: wait! Where's fozzie? He isnt here.
All the muppets were nodding And they were confused too
Miss piggy: oh that bear's probably sleeping.
Kermit: well, maybe. We should back to bed too.
Then all of the muppets nod And went back to sleep.
Wocka agent bear (fozzie) Got back to the muppets boarding home And he looks up at the balcony of his room.
Wocka agent bear (fozzie), whispering: aw, shucks... How do I get UP there now?
He looks around And sees ladders, he takes them And theyre even high to get to his balcony. He started climbing, until bean Bunny noticed him from outside the window of his And the jim Henson hour gang's room, he gasps And screams
Bean Bunny: WOCKA AGENT BEAAAAAAAAR!!!!! HE'S THERE!!! GUYS!!! WAKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!
The other six in the jim Henson hour gang immediately woke up and look at bean And then out the window And see wocka agent bear (fozzie) outside with The ladders And climbing up
Vicki: w-what the!?!?
Wocka agent bear (fozzie) looks at them And he does a wildtake And he screams
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): WHAAAAAA!!
And then he falls off the ladders while Screaming in pain
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): YAAAAAAAOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!
Wocka agent bear is on the ground And he sits up, again with some scratches And bruises
Wocka agent bear looks up and sees bean, digit, Clifford, Vicki, Lindbergh, Waldo And Leon looking down at him from their window
Wocka agent bear runs away And hides in the shadows immediately
Leon: god! Can we have ONE normal night in this town!?
The next Day...
Everyone were woken up, (note: fozzie did make it inside his room, he succesfully Got inside) And they were downstairs in the kitchen eating breakfast. Then fozzie Got downstairs
Fozzie: mornin', everyone! Was your night "wockatastic"?? Aaaaaaaah!
Fozzie giggles, And the muppets groaned and they were watching the news with wocka agent bear on it after being attacked by roosters
Fozzie: so, uhh... What are you Guys watching?
Pepe: you didnt hear it!? Wocka agent bear Got attacked by Bonzor's roosters last night, okay!!
Fozzie gasps as if he is shocked, but the others dont know the truth
Fozzie: what!? Thats horrible!
Miss piggy: yes.. its horrible Seeing your idol being attacked by ROOSTERS! Hmph!
Bean Bunny: And we literally saw him last night with ladders!! And he tried climbing to your room, fozz!! Clifford, digit, Vicki, Waldo, Lindbergh, Leon And I saw that!!
The other six in jim Henson hour gang noded
Fozzie: really!? I didnt see that!
Kermit then noticed fozzie's bruises And scratches, And it looked like wocka agent bear's scars
Kermit: uhh... Fozzie? Where did you Got those bruises And scratches from?
Fozzie: oh! These?? Well...
Fozzie was sweating a little bit, trying to come up with an good excuse
Fozzie: I Got bitten by mosquitos! Yeah.. And I uhh- scratched a Lot! Yea-
Other muppets were looking at fozzie with suspiciousy in their eyes, especially miss piggy And kermit. Miss piggy slaps the table with her hands
Miss piggy: are you sure!?
Fozzie: ofcourse I am! I never lie!
Kermit: well, okay, If you say so...
Fozzie: welp! I'll go now, Guys!!
Fozzie then Got upstairs to his room again very quickly
Kermit: I feel like he is hiding something...
Miss piggy: me too...
Other muppets nod and agree too
It was night aga-
Chip appears infront of the camera, looking closely at it
Chip: WAIT! STOP! PAUSE! how is it already night if it was morning?!
I, who was the narrator of the story, spoke up:
Emin (me): well, chip.. thats called: "TMS:LITBH logic", shirt for "the muppets Show: Life in the boarding home logic", man.
Chip: well... I guess THAT makes sense to some others, but not really to me!
Emin (me): well, then STOP COMPLAINING And let ME finish, m'kay?
Chip rolls his eyes And sighs
Chip: Fine.
He gets away from the camera
Anyways, it was now night in the muppetown again...
Other muppets in the boarding home went to sleep, while Meanwhile with fozzie, he was in his room again and he put on his wocka agent bear clothes again And Got outside from his balcony
Wocka agent bear (fozzie), again in his foozie voice from muppets 2011: time to solve mysteries..
He was walking sneakly around the muppetown And he saw that there werent any mysteries that he can solve, he sighed...
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): oh, shucks... There isnt any crimes or mysteries I can solve, nor help anyone.. i'll just go back home..
He sneakly Got back home, but at the front gate, he Heard a noise from the bush
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): Huh!?
Then suddenly, Bonzor And kermoot came out of the bush, And kermoot had a bandage on his foot because of the Bear trap. They were both smirking evilly
Kermoot: we Got you now, Mr. "Wocka agent bear"!
Bonzor the fantastic: HAH! we indeed do!
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): you two!? Well, it looks like this is one VS two, right?..
He put his black hat a little bit over his face to look more mysterious And to make his face look shadowy
Kermoot: ofcourse it does, bear!
Wocka agent bear (fozzie): well then go on!
Kermoot And Bonzor look at each other And smirk, And Bonzor snaps his fingers And yells loudly
Bonzor the fantastic: ROOSTERS!!!!!! COME HERE!!!
Yet again, like last night, the roosters occupy all the sides And corners And they surround fozzie. And wocka agent bea- i mean, fozzie, speaks in his normal voice again.
Fozzie: uh-oh....
The roosters jump on fozzie And attack him again while fozzie screams loudly And yelps in pain
Fozzie: OOUH! EEEH!!! AAAAAA THAT HURTS!!!
Bonzor And kermoot were chuckling. Then suddenly, the muppets look outside their Windows of the boarding home And AGAIN see "wocka agent bear" being attacked by Bonzor's roosters, And fozzie's sunglasses And hat fall down, revealing his True form, And he screams loudly for help
Fozzie: HEEEEEEEELP!!!! SOMEONE HELP MEEEEE!!!! MR. WOCKA AGENT BEAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!
All of the muppets from the boarding home gasp
All the muppets: Fozzie!?!?
Kermit: I KNEW he was hiding something!! FOZZIE!! HANG ON!!
Then suddenly, an shadowy figure that looked like a bear, maybe... Real Wocka agent bear!? He comes out of the shadows And he had his face shadowed, except for his eyes And sunglasses, and he speaks up in his voice of foozie from muppets 2011 And he had a deadly look on his face
Wocka agent bear: ...leave the kid alone...
The roosters stop attacking fozzie And look at wocka agent bear, kermoot, Bonzor And all the muppets look at the REAL Wocka agent bear, and fozzie gasps
Fozzie: IT- IT- IT'S WOCKA AGENT BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!
Some whatnots (from muppets Show) And muppets who lived in their own houses looked outside their Windows to watch the scenario
Then the instrumental from Garfield game tango toss (high quality) comes on And wocka agent bear attacks kermoot first, with a "POW!" on the lips and fists
Kermoot: AHH!!!
Kermoot falls on the ground, wocka agent bear looks at Bonzor, who is sweating
Bonzor the fantastic: UHH... IT- IT WASNT MY IDEA!! I SWEAR-
Wocka agent bear gives a "POW" on bonzor's lips with his fists to Bonzor
Bonzor the fantastic: AAAAH!!
Bonzor falls on the ground too, And both kermoot And Bonzor sit up, And bonzor's roosters run go Bonzor And hide behind him
Wocka agent bear: now... You two leave this kiddo alone, before I didnt do something to you two And the... MOOPETS...
Kermoot And Bonzor nod And they get up and ran away, And bonzor's roosters run away with them
Bonzor the fantastic: AAAAAAA!!!!
Kermoot: RUN YOU ACROBATIC ALIEN!!! RUN!!!
Fozzie gets up and he looks at wocka agent bear with a huge smile on his face, And the muppets get out of the boarding home And walk towards fozzie And wocka agent bear
Fozzie: I- Its really you!!! You're wocka agent bear!!!
Wocka agent bear: mh-hm, I indeed am. And you're not. You pretended to be me, kiddo. Thats not wockatastic for my fans, y'kno?
Fozzie: uh, well... Im- uhh... Im very sorry if I pretended to be you, Mr. Wocka agent bear... Its just that you're my wockatastic idol! And im your wockatastic fan!
Wocka agent bear nods
Wocka agent bear: I understand that, kiddo. But thats not very wockatastic towards your friends too.
Wocka agent bear points at the other muppets that are standing outside the gate of the boarding home, And they were all looking at fozzie, they were sort of angry at him.
Fozzie: oh... I-...
Fozzie sighs
Fozzie: im sorry, Guys... I just wanted to prove you all that wocka agent bear DOES exist, but I more made you all angry... And I made wocka agent bear look bad...
He looks down at the floor And he looks sad And guilty, Kermit And the whole muppets gang then dont look Mad anymore, they now look like they were calmed that fozzie was brave enough to say the truth. And wocka agent bear puts his hand on fozzie's shoulder.
Wocka agent bear: you know, kiddo? You're very brave because you Said the truth to your friends, now THAT'S a thing that a good fan And friend would do.
Fozzie: r-really?
Fozzie looks at wocka agent bear
Wocka agent bear: ofcourse, kiddo. And I respect you as my good fan. And now, Im very proud of ya. Im sure your friends are too.
He looks at Kermit And the whole muppets gang and they all nod And look happy that fozzie Said the truth
Fozzie smiles And then he nods
Fozzie: Woah! It looks like i learned a wocklesson this night! Hahahaha!
Some muppets groan from that joke but they Chuckle too
Wocka agent bear: ya sure did, kiddo. And im proud of ya. And never forget, I know my fans' every move, especially yours now.
Fozzie nods And hugs wocka agent bear tightly
Fozzie: m-mm! Thank you, Mr. Wocka agent bear! Wocka wocka wockaaa!!
Wocka agent bear looks surprised from that tight hug, but he hugs fozzie back
Wocka agent bear: wocka, wocka, wocka.
Then wocka agent bear looks at fozzie
Wocka agent bear: well, before I go, want an autograph, kiddo?
Fozzie: I would love that!
He takes out his poster of wocka agent bear and he signatures on it
Wocka agent bear: im glad to see you happy now, kiddo. Good luck kiddo. I hope we'll see each other again like how I do see my other fans.
Fozzie: ooohhh I cant wait to see you again, Mr. Wocka agent bear!
Wocka agent bear smiles a little bit like a faint smile And he waves a little bit And runs away back in the shadows
Fozzie had the biggest smile on his face And he jumped up and down from joy
Fozzie: MMMMMMM I MET WOCKA AGENT BEAR!!!!
Kermit: ya sure did, fozz! But you still lied to us tho.
Kermit crosses his arms the rest of the muppets gang did And they look at fozzie
Fozzie: well... I Said I was sorry! I wont do that anymore! Promise!
Kermit And the whole muppets gang smile And Chuckle And they all hug together
Gonzo: well! Lets go inside, im kinda sleepy-
Everyone nods And go back inside the muppets boarding home
Meanwhile a little bit with wocka agent bear, he had a few pictures of fozzie disguising himself as wocka agent bear, And he smiled a little bit And chuckled

Thoughts on Taskmaster s11e02, written as I watched it:
- Okay, the fact that Lee only got two points for the Simon Cowell mug is sort of bullshit. But I’m glad, because he was unfairly given points in the first episode. I’d say he was robbed of at least a couple of points here, so we’re close to being even and if he wins the whole thing it’ll be fair.
- Last week, I gave Mike Wozniak credit for the amount of commitment to a bit that it takes to not only claim you can just barely carry a tune, but to then prove it by singing an entire weird song to an audience-less studio. This week, he whittled Greg’s face and the TM logo into a spoon. Commitment is what I want to see out of a Taskmaster contestant, and commitment is what Mike Wozniak delivers.
- During the entirety of Lee and Charlotte’s attempts at the first task, I was shouting at the screen, “Go inside! If you let go of the balloon outside it’ll float away! Go somewhere with a ceiling low enough so you can still get it!” But I figured I must be missing something, because doing that was so obvious that it couldn’t be that I thought of it and they didn’t; it must be that they had though of something I hadn’t that meant staying outside was fine.
Then they were both surprised when their balloons floated away. Couple of Muppets.
- After last week’s episode, I said I’m going to come out of this season either loving Sarah Kendall or finding her quite annoying. I think her sneer while hovering the balloon has just won me over to love.
- Mike Wozniak is being shown by himself at the end after the other four were shown in pairs. This also happened in the plate-carrying task in episode 1. I feel like Mike doing something different enough to be shown on his own is likely to become a theme throughout this season.
- Okay. After episode 1, I thought I’d enjoyed Mike Wozniak on there, but I wasn’t quite on board with the social media reaction of saying we love this guy and he’s going to go down in Taskmaster history as a fan favourite. The animal song was certainly good, but not overwhelmingly good.
I’ve just paused the video after watching him retrieve the balloon in the first task. Lose it, watch it float away, then go fucking get it and still complete the task. Legions of people who are obsessed with Mike Wozniak now, I apologize for doubting you initially. I am now entirely on board.
- Charlotte having to count on her fingers to work out that “hand” is four letters. Mike refreshing his mind and only coming up with “duck”. Jamali and Sarah setting themselves the challenge of figuring out how to retrieve the task before Charlotte actually got there; Jamali going so far as to take the laces out of his shoes in pursuit of this cause. You know a task is going to be good when there’s that much fun stuff just in the initial bit where they show you the people reading the task.
- Sarah’s comment that the Lee versus Mike argument was better than some plays was unironically accurate. I’m reminded of the Simon Amstell stand-up bit in which he complained about having to go see his artsy friends do weird artsy things, and said, “Never go see anything if it’s called a ‘piece’.” I have seen theatre pieces that were less good than that argument.
- Oh nice, the haunted house task. I saw that task get read out in one of the trailers and thought it looked like such a great idea for a task. Looking forward to this. Also, I haven’t seen BBC Ghosts (yet, it is now on my list to get to quite soon), but it’s my understanding that Charlotte Richie is in a show that should give her a fair bit of experience with how to make a house seem haunted. That almost seems unfair, like the time Claudia Winkleman was on a Big Fat Quiz and there was a question about Strictly Come Dancing.
- I legitimately jumped and gasped when the camera revealed two Sarah Kendalls standing there like horror movie twins. I often lean towards thinking things people accomplish with computer editing is less impressive and therefore should be scored lower than things people actually make happen in real life (for example, I still think Noel got too many points for that time when he made himself appear inside a bowl of fruit), but that was genuinely impressive. Damn.
- Okay, similar credit to Mike for his horror movie, even if it did also involve editing. He actually didn’t need the rest of it; he could have just shown that shot of his legs and dead-looking torso/head on different parts of the ground and that would have been creepy enough.
- Alex almost never breaks character during the filmed tasks. That little moment when he had to cover his mouth to hide a laugh when Lee started using the Ouija board was great.
- Holy fuck that woman coming out of the cupboard in Lee’s task was genuinely fucking terrifying. I’ve paused the video right after the task ended so I don’t know how they discussed or scored it, but I think that should absolutely win. Unless someone points out that he technically made the caravan haunted when the task said to make the house haunted, which would be a fair criticism. But that was good enough so I don’t care. I’m genuinely creeped out now.
- Lee has now been robbed of one more point, by getting four points for the haunted house task when he deserved five. Yeah Sarah’s movie was great, but Lee managed to be even creepier than her and he did it without computer editing. Okay, I think we can now say we’ve made up for the disaster of him getting too many points for his feast-under-the-table task in episode 1.
- On the studio task:
1) I didn’t realize Lee had gone vegan. Maybe that was part of his whole I Can’t Believe It’s Not Buddha thing. You know, his weird “trying to live a mentally and physically healthy life and be a good person” thing. Him and Jon Richardson have both gone vegan now, my two favourites among the British comedians. And Simon Amstell and Sara Pascoe, who are also up there for me. My views on veganism are that I fully acknowledge that anyone who adheres to it is being a very good person by doing so, for lots of different reasons. But also, I really like eating meat and do not intend to stop. So I like it when the people I admire also eat meat, so I don’t have to feel guilty for being a worse person than them. It’s all very Elanor Shellstrop from The Good Place. Anyway, that is why I find Lee’s veganism slightly disappointing. Good for him though.
2) Lee mentioned at times in his autobiography that he doesn’t think of himself as all that famous, and it does seem like he meant that at least a bit, though I’m sure there was also some curated modesty in there. But in this case, his assessment of his own popularity was a way to earn points on a competition that he actually wants to win, so he was incentivized to be completely honest about it. And he still put himself middle of the pack despite clearly being the most famous contestant. That’s kind of sweet.
3) Charlotte has won me over even more with her “cleans towels twelve times per month” fact. Nice.
4) The fucking intensity of Jamili and Lee both holding up number 1 for the “who can hold the most eggs” question. Amazing. This is what makes Taskmaster the show that it is. This is what the fans turn up for. And Lee beating Jamili by 17 eggs to 12. Holy fuck, how fucking big are Lee’s hands? I could make a dick joke here but I assume you can imagine your own just fine.
Actually, I’m sorry, I do have to point this out. I have to point out that whatever else happens for the rest of the season in the rapidly developing competitive situation between Lee and Jamili, we can always come back to the fact that in episode 2, Alex Horne scientifically proved that Lee Mack’s dick is 29% bigger than Jamili Maddix’s.
- Well deserved episode win for Mike Wozniak. It would have been just unfair for an episode that started with him whittling a spoon and retrieving a helium balloon to end any other way. Not to mention that masterpiece of an argument.

muppets haunted mansion 👻
Yes Anon thanks!!
So no surprise I loved this special!! It was so good, comedic and a little bit emotional that I was not expecting but it was great!
Before I start I know people still have issues with Steve Whitmire being fired and Matt Vogel being cast as Kermit I am just gonna say yeah it sucks that they fired Steve but don't hate on Matt he is trying his best ok.
The story was great although simple it was perfectly done, the comedic elements where funny and the scary elements did indeed spooked me.
The music was amazing I loved it!!! Rest in Peace sang by Darren Criss oh my gosh I was shocked when he started singing and then the song turned into Grim Grinning Ghosts with singing busts oh my gosh the Disney Park fan inside me who has never been to a Disney Park was so happy.
Speaking of Darren Criss and the rest of the Celebrity Cameos which I usually don't talk because they are not that important or I don't recognized them because they are old movies but now that I know most of the celebrities they where good their energy matched with the muppets and they didn't took to much of the spotlight Will Arnett was great as the Ghost Host although his voice sometimes sounded as Bojack Horseman but I give him a pass, Yvette Nicole Brown was good I love her, Taraji P. Henson was surprisingly great at comedy and I loved Kim Irvine at least getting a small role (Her mother Leota Toombs was a Disney Imagineer and the original model for Madame Leota and Kim Irvine is the model for Madame Leota for the Holiday overlay).
Life Hereafter is an amazing song we see a bunch of Muppets from different shows some loved and forgotten but they are all here and the homage to the At The Ball sketch from the original Muppet Show the parallel lines with Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast and the last lines having the same tune and rythm as the theme song of The Muppet Show it's just *chefs kiss*
And Tie The Knot Tango was okay a nice little song. But the Electric Mayhem cover of Dancing in the Moonlight was so good I've been listening it all month long.
And that chilling scene of Gonzo facing his biggest fear I was not expecting that it was so creepy and kinda disturbing it sort of reminded me of Gonzo's arc in Muppets from Space of him feeling lonely and isolated.
A lot of people had issues with how cheap it looked and how bad the visual effects were but not me I like how cheap it looked it truly made it feel like a TV special.
I think my only issue would be Pepe I'm not a big fan of him I don't like his kind of comedy I would have preferred if it was Rizzo with Gonzo but he was ok.
I could go on with all the details from The Haunted Mansion but I'm just gonna say some of my favorite Statler and Waldorf being in a Doom Buggy, The Bride having a beating heart, The Mansion looking like the The Phantom Manor the one in Disneyland Paris and the number on the Building 924 being Jim Henson Birthday.
Overall a hauntingly amazing special that has become a Halloween tradition for sure!
I give this 4 happy haunts out of 5 happy haunts.

"Music has always played a role in history; reflecting both the subtle and monumental moments of our lives through its unique DNA. Music connects each of us, acting as a common thread of unification, opening the hearts of all people.
"Regardless of the color of one's skin, status or station in life, music powerfully breaks through boundaries as its message permeates deep within us; healing our human frailties and condition at our cores. Music is transformative and personal. It powerfully underscores our lives."
"Music has always helped transport, uplift and inspire us through wars, economic hardships, health crises and societal upheavals," says show co-creator, Richard Kraft. "When COVID-19 hit, it threatened the lives and livelihood of much of our Film & TV Music community. So, we decided to create an online special that both celebrates the soundtrack of our lives and benefits, via MusiCares®, the artists who create it."

I can’t tag @benny-lynne for some reason, but they requested Phantom of the Opera but Muppets, and @akallabeth-joie encouraged it. But since I wasn’t sure how to make a moodboard of that, and since I’m not much of an artist, I hope this will suffice.
(To the tune of The Muppet Show Theme Song)
[CHORUS]
It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to please the Phantom at the Opera House tonight
It's time to put on make up
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain for the Opera Ghost tonight
[ANDRE AND FIRMIN]
Why did we ever come here
We’ve got another note
The ghost he has a message
Let’s see what he has wrote (written!)
[CHRISTINE]
To sing the Phantom’s opera
That’s what I have to do
[RAOUL]
Christine, I know you’re frightened
But all hope rests on you!
[CHORUS]
But now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational, confrontational, presentational, Phantomational
Now we’re past the point of no return!

Marvin Suggs
PERFORMER Frank Oz
DEBUT 1976
DESIGN Jim Henson designer
Mari Kaestle builder
Marvin Suggs, the demented Whatnot musician, appeared many times on The Muppet Show playing the Muppaphone, an instrument made up of living balls of fluff.
Marvin Suggs and the Muppaphone first appeared in The Muppet Show Episode 105, playing "Lady of Spain". In Episode 208, Marvin auditioned with an All-Food Glee Club, singing "Yes, We Have No Bananas". He was back with the Muppaphone in Episode 304, singing "Witch Doctor".
In Episode 311, Kermit interviewed Marvin in a Talk Spot that appeared as a UK Spot. Kermit tells Marvin that he wants to ask him the question that most people ask, and Marvin tells him that the answer is, "Mutual love and respect."
Kermit asks the Muppaphones the question that most people ask: "Does it hurt?" Since Marvin Suggs is right behind them, they nervously answer, "No." When asked if they are the original Muppaphones, Marvin says that he has to replace them every two or three months, since by then they go flat (not off-key; they become two-dimensional). Kermit asks what happens to them after that. "I don't think you want to know,” Marvin replies.
In Episode 315, guest star Lesley Ann Warren was horrified to learn that Marvin was the accompanist in one of her numbers. She accused him of being cruel, because he makes music by hitting live creatures. "Of course they're alive!" he answered. "You can't make music by hitting dead creatures!"
In the Alice in Wonderland-themed Episode 506, Marvin played the judge at Alice's trial. He struck the jurors on the head as if they were a Muppaphone.
Marvin appeared in multiple films, including The Muppet Movie, where he can be seen gyrating through the theater before the movie starts. He showed up again in Muppets from Space twenty years later. In 2004, Palisades Toys released a Marvin Suggs Action Figure.
In the liner notes of the Music, Mayhem and More! CD, Frank Oz said:
“ I don't recall where Marvin Suggs came from... probably from one of the writer's meetings. But the accent came from my French friend Phillippe Gentry -- I just exaggerated it and made it really annoying. I've always felt Marvin lived in a scuzzy trailer park with his put-upon wife, and he kept the Muppaphones in a cage and would beat them regularly. ”
In 2006, the puppet was on display at the Jim Henson: Performing Artist exhibit at the University of Maryland. After a twelve year absence, Suggs reappears in The Muppets, performed by Eric Jacobson. He also made a brief appearance in the music video for "The Muppet Show Theme Song," using the band members of OK Go as a Muppaphone.
Although nowhere to be seen, part three of The Muppet Show Comic Book: Family Reunion has "Marvin Suggs and the All-Food Glee Club" listed on a marquee outside the theater.
FORERUNNERS IN POP CULTURE
Other comedy skits have involved characters committing cruelty against living creatures for music's sake (a concept that dates back to at least to 1928, when Mickey Mouse yanked piglets' tails to create musical squeals), which in some ways predate Marvin Suggs. In 1957, in a sketch from his radio series (later released as a record), Stan Freberg created Monsieur Toulier and his Tuned Sheep. The French-accented Toulier tied bells to his sheep, and when struck on the head with a shepherd's crook, the sheep would play music (a rendition of "Lullaby of Birdland"). Like Marvin, Toulier chided his sheep individually by name when they were out of synch or tempo.
A similar sketch, with closer parallels in some respects, occurred in a 1969 episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus (an episode titled "Sex & Violence"). "Arthur Ewing and His Musical Mice" features Mr. Ewing (played by Terry Jones) beating on tuned mice (in boxes so as to be unseen by the viewer) in his "Mouse-organ" with two mallets, in a rendition of "The Bells of St. Mary". The sketch also appeared in the film And Now For Something Completely Different (1971) with the name changed to "Ken Ewing and His Musical Mice", playing "Three Blind Mice".

MARVIN SUGGS
Performed by…Marvin Suggs
Frank Oz
First appearance…
The Muppet Show Episode 105: Rita Moreno (1976)
Most recent appearance…
The Muppets (2011)
Best known role…
Muppaphone player, manager, operator, slave-driver; PETA’s Most Wanted
WHO IS MARVIN SUGGS?
Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphone were one of the first recurring acts on The Muppet Show. Marvin is the world’s only known player of the famed Muppaphone instrument, which consists of a group of furry pink and orange creatures who make the most beautiful yelping sound when struck just the right way with a mallet. Marvin is well-known for his performances on the Muppaphone of such timeless classics including “Lady of Spain” and “Witch Doctor.”
Although most often seen with the Muppaphone, Marvin Suggs is a multi-talented individual as can be seen in the Steve Martin episode of The Muppet Show when he performed “Yes, We Have No Bananas” with his All-Food Glee Club. However, Marvin’s true passion seems to rest with his beloved Muppaphone, considering his leafy-green show choir never appeared again. (Or perhaps they broke up when Marvin threatened to turn them into a salad… the world may never know.)
TheMuppets-(2011)-Finale-MarvinSuggs&MuppaphoneMostly unseen since the days of The Muppet Show, before 2011, Marvin only made a very brief cameo in Muppets From Space. He had a wee bit of a resurgence, starting with the OK Go video for “The Muppet Show Theme.” He would go on to show up in The Muppets (2011) and Muppets Most Wanted (2014). Marvin’s addition to The Muppets was brought about thanks to director James Bobin, who loves the character. In both films Marvin can be seen pounding on the Muppaphones.
Although Marvin has been largely absent, an action figure was made of Marvin in 2004 as part of Series 8 of Palisades Toys line of action figures. Marvin came packaged with two mallets, a musical wall, and six Muppaphones. Series 8 also included a variant figure of Marvin, dressed in black and silver attire.
MARVIN SUGGS AND FRANK OZ
Although Marvin Suggs is a very obscure character, Frank Oz still talked about and developed a backstory for Marvin, which was expanded upon in the liner notes for the 2002 CD “Muppets: Music, Mayhem and More.” When asked about Marvin, Frank said,
“I don’t recall where Marvin Suggs came from… probably from one of the writer’s meetings. But the accent came from my French friend Phillippe Gentry — I just exaggerated it and made it really annoying. I’ve always felt Marvin lived in a scuzzy trailer park with his put-upon wife, and he kept the Muppaphones in a cage and would beat them regularly.”
WHY DO THE MUPPETS NEED MARVIN SUGGS?
Quite frankly, they might not need him, really. After all, the Muppets already have multiple counts of animal abuse (read: karate chopping pigs, sexually harassing king prawns, bears with tomatoes hurled at them), so tossing Marvin Suggs back in the mix will surely do nothing to get PETA off of their furry backs.
However, Marvin was always very funny and his over-exaggerated performance by Frank Oz was a hoot. That voice is still something I try to imitate (it ain’t easy) and I find myself quoting Mr. Suggs often, saying, “I am not a CRUEL man!” So… the Muppets might not need Marvin, but wouldn’t it be fun to see him smacking those whiny balls of fur again?

Joe Raposo (February 8, 1937 - February 5, 1989) was a composer who wrote songs, score, background cues, and other music for Sesame Street and other Muppet projects. Raposo created some of the best known Muppet songs, notably the “Sesame Street Theme”, “Bein’ Green”, and “C Is for Cookie,” and helped establish the musical sound of Sesame Street. Some of his Sesame Street songs have since become popular standards covered by everyone from the Carpenters to Barbra Streisand, including “Bein’ Green” and “Sing”.
BACKGROUND
Joseph Guilherme Raposo was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, of Brazilian Portuguese heritage. His father was a music teacher and conductor, but Raposo initially majored in law at Harvard College, where he graduated in 1958. He soon began performing as a jazz piano accompanist and then studied at L'Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris with Nadia Boulanger instead of going on to law school. While still at Harvard, he conducted an out of town tryout for a Broadway show, with his first scored musical Sing Muse! opening in 1961. Raposo subsequently moved from Boston to New York where he provided dramatic underscoring for Bertolt Brecht’s A Man’s a Man, served as musical director of Truman Capote’s House of Flowers (1968) and wrote incidental music for Jackie Mason’s Broadway comedy A Teaspoon Every Four Hours (1969). It was Sesame Street that brought Raposo widespread fame, however.
WORK WITH HENSON AND SESAME
Raposo first worked with Jim Henson on the special Hey Cinderella! (1969), for which he scored and wrote all of the songs. Raposo subsequently worked on Sesame Street, though he was chosen independently of Henson on the recommendation of Hey Cinderella! writer Jon Stone. Serving as musical director for the first five seasons, Raposo initially wrote material for all aspects of the show, including the instrumental theme for the live action Buddy and Jim skits, and only occasionally collaborating with staff writers such as Stone, Jerry Juhl, Daniel Wilcox, and Jeff Moss (who contributed heavily to the show’s musical sound himself), among others. As Raposo recalled, Sesame Street “just came along. It didn’t have a name. It was a bunch of people meandering around trying to do a show for Public Television.” Most of his best known songs, however, soon fell into two groups: those written for Muppet segments and those for live action films, often sung by Raposo himself.
Of the Muppet tunes, some were jaunty, whimsical exercises in education, as with Cookie Monster’s anthem “C Is for Cookie” or “Would You Like to Buy an O?” Others were slower and more contemplative, expressing the innermost thoughts, fears and desires of the characters, as with “Imagination,” “Nobody,” and especially Kermit’s classic lament “Bein’ Green.” Such introspection resulted from Raposo’s songwriting methods, a process he called “psychological dress-up”:
“When you write songs, music and lyrics, you’re always putting on somebody else’s clothes. The degree to which you’re able to dress up and counterfeit yourself as this person, that’s as good as you are as a writer. And I’m pretty good at it, which leaves me tremendous doubts about my own personality.”
Raposo’s sound, often dominated by the piano over other instruments, was also a fixture of film inserts, usually played over footage of people or animals and performed by Raposo himself. As with the Muppets, Raposo’s style as composer and singer varied in moods, from the comedic and even brash (adopting cartoonish voices for “What Do You Do With a Fruit?” or as the titular animal in “I’m an Aardvark”) to the melancholy (“Somebody Come and Play”) or soothing mood pieces (“Everybody Sleeps”). One of the few occasions when he lent his voice to songs written by others was “High, Middle, Low” (as the Anything Muppet singing “middle”). One Raposo classic which fits in neither of the above two categories is “Sing,” performed in many different contexts on the show, and later covered by a variety of popular artists.
In fact, through his work on Sesame Street, Raposo deliberately set out to cross the forced boundaries between pop music and children’s songs.
“Some educators have complained that the music on Sesame Street is too sophisticated for little ears, that we should curb the spontaneity of blues and rock and instead teach the children “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” But what most educators don’t realize is that the lamb left the nursery the day they brought the TV set in. Children are now exposed to and learn to love every conceivable style of music… And the beauty of our music is maybe that the child in the Grosse Pointe home is hearing gospel and blues for the first time and the black child in the urban ghetto is hearing the harpsichord and the flute for the first time. Someday, when they grow up, they’ll have one more thing in common.”
Raposo continued to work with Henson on The Great Santa Claus Switch and The Frog Prince (both with lyrics by Juhl) and went on to serve as musical director and song writer for CTW’s follow-up to Sesame Street, The Electric Company. Raposo left Sesame Street after 1974 (replaced by Sam Pottle as musical director) contributing only occasional material (such as new songs for Sesame Street Fever) and would not return full-time until Season 15 in 1983, working more often with other lyricists. During that interim, Raposo continued to collaborate with Henson, scoring the pilot The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence (originating the “At the Dance” theme used on The Muppet Show) and both songs and score for The Great Muppet Caper, which garnered him an Academy Award nomination for “The First Time It Happens.” He also worked on The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show and composed and produced all songs for Miss Piggy’s Aerobique Exercise Workout Album.
FAME AND LATER WORK
In 1970, “Bein’ Green” was covered by Frank Sinatra, and as Raposo put it, “then I became famous.” Sesame Street took a backseat for a time to a wide range of projects in film, TV, and theater, as well as writing original songs for Sinatra and other singers. While still staff musical director for CTW, Raposo worked on You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1971) as musical arranger, supervisor, and composer of incidental music. Following his departure from Sesame in 1974, producer Richard Horner tapped Raposo to write all songs and score for the animated film Raggedy Ann and Andy (finally released in 1977). One song from the film, “Blue,” was later used on The Muppet Show (performed by Helen Reddy, who also covered the song on albums). “Blue” and “Rag Dolly” were later recycled by Raposo for the 1986 Broadway show Raggedy Ann and Andy (with a substantially different plot and several new Raposo tunes).
On a more adult level, Raposo scored Robert Altman’s Academy Award-winning drama Nashville (1975, with Lily Tomlin and Cloris Leachman) and composed music (sans lyrics) for the Three’s Company theme song as well as the instrumental theme for its spin-off The Ropers, among other projects. He returned to children’s projects in the 1980s, collaborating with Theodor Geisel on three Dr. Seuss animated specials, composing music for a special based on the Madeline books (which aired on HBO four months after his death), and writing the theme for Shining Time Station.
In the theater world, Raposo collaborated with Sheldon Harnick (lyricist of Fiddler on the Roof) on the cantata Sutter’s Gold (1980), and A Wonderful Life (1986), a musical adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life which was performed largely in colleges and made its Broadway debut as an Actor’s Fund benefit in 2005.
LEGACY
Raposo died from lymphoma on February 5, 1989, three days before his 52nd birthday. He was survived by his wife Pat Collins and three sons. The special Sing! Sesame Street Remembers Joe Raposo and His Music, hosted and directed by Jon Stone, aired in memoriam. Nearly three years later, a tribute CD was released commemorating his work on Sesame Street. In 2004, a short children’s book about Raposo, A Boy and His Music, was written by Odete Amarelo and Gilda Arruda with illustrations by Josette Fernandes. Raposo’s songs continue to be heard on Sesame Street, and his name appeared in the credits for original songs up to Season 40.

Episode 3 - Track #1
When a tree falls in a forest and no one’s around to hear it,
It makes a sound!
[playing instruments]
Music will be made today. Rosemary Hills will reverberate with song, because we have a history-changing discovery, unearthed from a dank crowded attic. The cassette tape from 1992 containing Wim Faros’ first public concert here in his home town. And because I am Deirdre Gardner, coming to you live on It Makes a Sound.
Now, we are experiencing some delay regarding the technical playing of the attic tape. There are some equipment issues, namely the lack of proper equipment. However, not to worry. The show must go on, and it goes on. In fact, we at It Makes a Sound actually see this as a boon. A serendipitous opportunity to have a forum that paves the way for his music, prepares us for the shock of his sonic brilliance. And thus, I begin today’s pivotally important show with a major reveal that will likely surprise most listeners.
I, Deirdre Gardner, was at the concert. That’s right. The host of the only show in the nation dedicated to the music and legend of Wim Faros, happened to be in attendance at his inaugural concert in Rosemary Hills Clubhouse. And so I can be your cassette tape player. I will be your cassette tape player for now. You are in capable hands. Look, the song list is written here on the inside cover. Nine songs, that is our road map. I hold in my mind melodies, I remember lyrics. I can piece together the tracks, well many of them, as well as capture with nuance and truth, with truthful nuance, the exhilarating feelings from that first concert. I am honored to be your guide to what so very soon will be released to the world in the attic tape. But you see, even before our ears will feast on the oral delicacies of the actual songs, we shall have covered the earliest themes in Wim Faros’ musical experimentation. And that’s very exciting. So, let’s dive in!
Today, on this very special episode of It Makes a Sound, I’ll begin by conjuring the very frst song played at the concert. The title is “I Am a Moment”. Exemplifying so much of Wim’s canon, this song speaks to the the the ephemera of existence and the need to strive for radical presence in an environment of detachment. How to begin? How can I bring you with me to all the sights and sounds and tastes of the concert?
I’m remembering the first time I heard this song, the only time. What was the atmosphere of that concert? Well my God, listeners, what was it like to step onto (--) [0:05:48] at Woodstock? What must that Sunday at church have been like when the little child Mahalia Jackson stood up to sing?
The air was electric. Instruments littered the stage: a keyboard, a drum set, a harmonica, maracas, a triangle – and of course, both an acoustic and an electric guitar. There was even a small portable harp in the corner. Perhaps a sitar. I don’t know exactly what a sitar looks like, but there was probably one because there were so many, many things. But first, there was silence. Sacred, pregnant silence, both pregnant and sacred. The instruments themselves seemed to be alive. Almost like Muppet instruments with personalities sitting up in rapt attention. In that thick silence, an imaginary rope connected every person in the room to the diaphragm of Wim Faros. The rope was so taught that, that even taking an inhale threatened to snap you into a million pieces. And then, the first chord. And then, all the chords. The fluidity with which he changed sounds, he was like Vishnu let loose in an orchestra pit, like a Jellicle cat, seemingly singing entire chords all at once. And immediately, the song death-gripped us with a cry of overcoming a tremendous obstacle. “Damn the odds, I am a moment!”
Deirdre’s Mom: Deirdre?
Deirdre: And then..
Deirdre’s Mom: Deirdre!
Deirdre: [plays an instrument] D… D… Pam pam pam pa, G… Pam pa, G.. (-) F. now perhaps it’s true that the average critic would not call me a musician, but I did take beginner piano many years ago, and I have been preparing and I have assembled here a few instruments or things that sound like instruments and I have been working to figure out, through a lengthy process of trial and error, the notes in the style of Wim Faros. So, he yelled, he damned the odds. And then, he sang.
[sings]
Point an arrow at my chest
Hold it taut look in my eyes,
Forget the rest, all you despise
I’m as hi-i-i-igh
As you are free, the delicacy of this beauty..
Oh shit. Um, hold on. Eh, eh.. well I, I, you know this part, this part actually, he spoke. And it went:
“My eyes dilate to your enchantment
And see the origins of your soul.
Our oneness is the goal.
And thought you could be killing me, you are not.”
Now, I have been working on filling in the lyrical gaps that I am not completely certain of, through context clues and with the help of a rhyming dictionary. I consider myself like, like a paleontologist, using fossil replicas to fill in missing bones in the dinosaur skeleton so that the fullness of its majesty can be displayed, despite a few tibias and femurs. I mean, when you’re looking at a massive brontosaurus skeleton in the National History Museum, no one can tell the difference between an honest to god finger(join) and a plastic one. And I am certain that when at last we are able to play the attic tape, audience will find the insertion I made remarkably accurate to the original. Perhaps even impossible to discern.
In any case, concerning the aforementioned lyrics, what we understand immediately in the first verse, is that the singer has been weighing the repercussions of daring to connect to another, and we encounter him directly in his fucking decision, pardon my language. But he is the moment and he will literally put his heart in another’s hands because – he knows that the risk is worth it. That to feel true vulnerability and intimacy will make the rest of the pain melt away. Wim, like Prometheus..
Deirdre’s Mom (from another room): You are not getting any dinner, Deirdre, until you clean up your toys! Deirdre! Clean up your toys!
Deirdre: All clean! I picked them all up.
Deirdre’s Mom: Good girl!
Deirdre: Actually what I was thinking is, oh… [melody plays] Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. I think we should reorient ourselves with the chorus, hold on. That was the tap piano. Gee, you know I was thinking now that we should reorient ourselves, because if there’s one thing that is certain to embed itself into your memory, to be a trusty earworm, it’s the chorus. And now these lyrics are completely verified, we have proof of these lyrics found written in a purple velveteen diary.
[sings]
To have had a moment
Because I am a moment
Now I’m but a moment
But I was a moment with you-ou-ouu.
Here we should review the imagery of the song so far. We have Wim standing bravely in surrender, and there is another person, an anonymous you, the gender unidentified, fluid, standing in front of him, facing him, holding a bow and arrow. That’s clear, right? Now the arrow is held taut, the steel tip touching Wim’s chest. Two hearts beating loudly, daring each into to hold in this moment of mortal suspense. Their eyes dilating to the enchantment, of what? Of bearing a full heart to another steady hands. Or we’re crossing our fingers that they are steady hands.
Do you see the richness of reference already, listeners? I mean, we get ancient myth, we get the imagery of Salvador Dali. I strongly associate a surrealist clock with this song, you’ll see why. And there are also the lyrics “oneness is the goal”, which I believe nods to Plato’s symposium, our quest to find the other half. All this on just the first track. There is so much to glean from this song, there are so many lessons to take away already!
We are making it happen on It Makes a Sound! I’m Deirdre Gardner, helping bring Wim Faros’ genius back home for reunion in your ears. Uh, it’s time for another segment, I think, right? Let’s let’s do, let’s do as Wim instructs. Not exactly with a literal arrow, OK, don’t try that at home. But but, let’s take this metaphor into the everyday present.
Grab someone, anybody who happens to be near to you right now. How lucky to have someone near you. OK, say to them: I am looking at you looking at me. Dare to look at someone and to be looked at. Is that scary? OK, yes, be scared. Roll the dice as Wim says. Let that person in frot of you see your fear, if it is honest. Be glad that it’s not an actual arrow to your heart, it’s just the piercing penetration of another steady open gaze. But look and be looked at! You can handle that.
Did you do it? Good, good! Good unpacking the attic segment. [knock at the door] OK. I-I’d love to know how that went for you. And and now, you are ready I can feel that we are all ready, for the drum solo. So stay tuned in just a minute.. the drum solo.
Mom: (--) [0:15:13] get away, get away! You think you’re so fancy?
Deirdre: I’ll be right back.
Mom: (-)! Dirty, dirty bird! [makes a bird noise]
[footsteps on stairs]
Deirdre: OK, here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, the drum solo. [plays drums] Drums, the tribal rhythm keeper. The most shamanic of instruments. The sound that summons the community. Let us crawl inside the drum set of Wim Faros. The beat is erratic. [plays drums] Misleading. And trying to follow where it will go next becomes entrancing. The beat becomes louder, so loud, overwhelming, and it’s impossible to believe that just two hands are trilling on the drum. He must be playing 100 different songs on 100 different drum sets!
You feel your heart pulsing faster, racing to the beat, and then you feel that your heart has become just one of the drum sets, that he is keeping a steady count on your heart. You know that your life is entirely in his hands, that if he abandons your set, if he misses one single beat, you are finished. You struggle to concentrate, to hear the other rhythms, to know how your rhythm sounds compared to the other rhythms. If yours is stronger, more complex, more essential to your overall effect. It’s so hard to distinguish for sure which is yours. You can’t feel your heartbeat, or you are only a heartbeat, and you can’t feel yourself. There is no self. You have no thoughts because you are nothing but a loud insistent beat. There is no intellect or emotion. Your entire existence is a surrender of bombast. You are only a constant, visceral bam! The end of Wim’s impulse in a swift flick of the fist. You surrender! You surrender!
Mom [right next to her] I got you now, you!
Deirdre: [panting] oh geez, Mom, Mommy, you scared me!
Mom: I win and you lose, because yo-you don’t live here!
Deirdre: Sit down Mom, you got up here fast, here sit down here OK.
Mom: I’m the singer. It’s my choir solo, and this is the United States of America.
Deirdre: Sit down.
Mom: It’s mine! I’ll sing your ass to grass, because I live in the grass.
Deirdre: I know.
Mom: And your grass is ass! You don’t belong here, I too, and my Deirdre..
Deirdre: That’s me, Mom! I’m Deirdre!
Mom: Where’s Deirdre? Where do we live? I don’t live here!
Deirdre: You do, you do live here Mom, this is your house.
Mom: [anxiously] Oh..
Deirdre: This is the attic. Do you see all the things you kept up here?
Mom: I don’t make messes!
Deirdre: No shh, shh. It’s been a while since you’ve been up here, huh? Sit down. Sit with me.
Mom: [pants]
Deirdre: Mom, guess what?
Mom: What?
Deirdre: I’m talking about Wim Faros.
Mom: Wim Faros?
Deirdre: Can you believe it? He sang too, like you.
Mom: He sings?
Deirdre: Oh yes.
Mom: Oh!
Deirdre: And we’re talking about his concert in Rosemary Hills. When he played the songs for the first time at the clubhouse.
Mom: Oh!
Deirdre: We’re nearing the end of his first song.
Mom: [sadly] The end.
Deirdre: Yeah, OK. Um, where was I?
Mom: [whispers] Where were you?
Deirdre: Hello, listeners. The drum solo has ended, and you feel like you have been left on another plane of existence.
Mom: Oh!
Deirdre: And Wim understood that, he was the pilot of that plane.
Mom: Contact!
Deirdre: Brrrrrrrrrrrr [chuckles]. And he, he, he began the denouement of his song with just a simple strumming. The effect of that strum felt like the softest massage.
Mom: Softest.
Deirdre: Yeah. You know a softest massage, do you call it that?
Mom: [chuckles]
Deirdre: That’s what we called it.
Mom: We call it that.
Deirdre: Yes. It’s it’s when someone that you love and someone that treats you tenderly just barely touches their fingertips on your skin.
Mom: Softest, please!
Deirdre: Yeah, I will Mom, gimme your arm. I’ll give you, yeah.
Mom: Mmmm, yeah.
Deirdre: Nice.
Mom: [chuckles]
Deirdre: Listeners, here’s what came next. It takes a turn.
Mom: [whispers] It takes a turn, listeners!
Deirdre:
[sings]
But in my rush of ecstasy
I feel doubt tug you away from me
Your fingers slacking on the bow
And with my last breath I know
It was all too much you..
Mom: [sings] Too much for you..
Deirdre:
[sings]
..to see infinity’s too
Wll you missed your moment..
Mom: [laughs] Boy that tickles!
Deirdre: Sorry, sorry Mom. Hey Mom, can you do me a favor? Here.
Mom: Ooh!
Deirdre: Shake that.
Mom: [shakes tambourine] [happy noises] Ooh, oo oo!
Deirdre: But in rhythm, like this. Ready? Good, you’re so good at that!
Deirdre:
[sings]
The steel pierces through my veins
The light fantastic’s now my prize
It was a thrilling exercise
And though I’m the one that died
The game was worth the loss
Hands melted off the clock
Burned by the flames of souls colliding
That’s you and me, see
Time’s abiding to our heaaaaaaarts.
Ooh, uh because I am a moment-
I’m but a moment
I was a moment with you-ou-uuuu!!
Wait, that’s not right. There’s another verse at the end. How does it end? Um...
Mom: [still playing tambourine] How does it end?
Deirdre: Well [chuckles], I know how it goes, um… It’s like this brilliant reversal in the lyrics. Why can’t I remember it? my God it’s like he figures out how not to die.
Mom: Remember.
Deirdre: I was there, I know it. I-I do remember it, I, I remember d-
Mom: Do you remember? “Never more Miranda, never more!”
Deirdre: It’s OK Mom, Shh. Hold on one second.
Mom: Only the (--) [0:22:22] whore!
Deirdre: Hold on just one second.
Mom: Whore, whore, whore!
Deirdre:
[sings]
Hands melt-, hands melting off,
I can’t hear myself.
[both singing]
Deirdre:
Hands melting off the clock
(--)
Souls colliding..
Mom:
And no sound
In the halls where falls the train
Of the (-) of the dead to the ground,
No sound!
But the boom of the (--) [0:22:37]..
Deirdre: Ummmm, it was..
Mom: No sound! No sound! No sound! No sound!
Nooo sooound!
Deirdre: Mom, stop it Mom, stop, stop! No sound, give it back to me Mom. I can’t Mom, please give me the tambourine, put the tambourine down. Mom, I can’t do this right now, I need to remember the song. Give- ow, o wow, Jesus Mom!
Mom: I gave it to you. [laughs]
Deirdre: Ow, uh geez, ah! Sit down! I’m sorry, OK, it’s OK..
Mom: Oh, oh!
Deirdre: I’m OK, don’t worry, I’m OK, I’m OK, we’re OK. [breaths deeply] I learned a new breathing technique. It’s called “°The 4 7-8 brothers” something. Just place your tongue gently on the back of your front teeth, and then you breathe in through your nose on the count of four. [inhales deeply] And then you hold your breath on the count of seven.
Mom: [exhales]
Deirdre: And then you exhale on a count of weight. OK. This can help quell anxiety, should you have any. It can help you sleep at night and is said to help focus the brain and improve memory, it’s apparently it does a lot. So.. [inhales deeply] [exhales] Maybe it can help us, to unpack the attic. It can help us overall, it’s something to do, let’s do it together, read Mom? One more time. [inhales deeply] And exhale for eight. [exhales] OK, OK.
I remember the music rose to a crescendo, and and the room the room the room smelled like sourdough and Pine-Sol. And Tricia stood there in a tiara, her bubbles floating in the air. Because Tricia was blowing bubbles. I remember the way she looked at me, cause she’d hardly ever spoken to me. But suddenly, she looked right at me, and she smiled so wide and she mouthed to me over the music: “This is so cool!”
Mom: It’s cool.
Deirdre: And she, that’s right, she tossed her head back as though in ecstasy and she blew..
Mom: Oh really?
Deirdre: ..into, yes. She blew into her bubble wand, and she created two enormous bubbles and one floated right over to me and and I reached out and I popped it. And then I saw that the other bubble had floated over to Wim Faros, as he ended the song.
Mom: The end.
Deirdre: And Tricia and I watched like in slow motion as he hit the final note, and it landed over his head, and it popped. And Tricia and I gasped, because we knew he was blessed. And this was the best party ever. Tricia Elwood. Well, of of course yes of course Tricia Elwood! I have to go see Tricia. She’ll remember that, she’ll remember the end of the song!
Mom: It’s cool!
Deirdre: It is cool. Wow, that breathing technique really works! It really goes to show you listeners, you just have to focus the brain. You just have to tune into your own channel, you can’t lose hope.
Ladies and gentlemen. I have a fresh, out of the oven announcement about the next episode of It Makes a Sound. Join me, Deirdre Gardner, for a very very special live on location show, where I’ll take you with me to interview a woman who was a crucial player in Wim Faros’ artistry, and who will most certainly be able to provide us with detailed insight into the beginnings of an icon, and will help us finish the first track on the attic tape.
Mom: That is cool!
Deirdre: [laughs] It is, it’s really cool, Mom! Tricia was really cool. So everyone, tell your friends, tell your Moms, right? Tell everyone you know to tune in l-live um um, ne- as soon as I can, when I’ll uncover forgotten truths about the man behind the music, with a key eye witness.
Until then, if you have any information about Wim Faros, contact me, Deirdre..
Mom: Deirdre.
Deirdre: ..at [email protected]. But most importantly, if you can donate a working cassette tape player to the show, please do so immediately. And I assure you that your donation will go down in history.
I’m Deirdre Gardner. Until next time! [instrument chimes]
Mom: That’s cool!
Deirdre: I know. Go ahead, Mom, you hit it.
Mom: Hee! [chime] [chuckles]
Deirdre: Until next time.
Mom: It’s time! [chimes]

Watch Lil Nas X Take on ‘Elmo’s Song’ on ‘The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo’
Watch Lil Nas X Take on ‘Elmo’s Song’ on ‘The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo’
Lil Nas X stopped by Sesame Street on Thursday (May 28) to be a guest on The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo.
During the show — a new Sesame Streetspin-off for HBO Max — the rapper teamed up with Elmo for an Auto-Tuned rendition of “Elmo’s Song,” the classic theme song sung by the iconic red Muppet for the past 25 years. “I like to rap, sing and write all kinds of music, but there’s one song I’ve…

ASTORIA, NEW YORK—Inside the Sesame Street studio in Queens, Elmo is playing “monsterball” with his friend, a new Muppet named Karli who has lime-green fur and two ponytails. (Monsterball, for what it's worth, appears to be the same as soccer, but with a furry ball.) Puppeteers, with their hands raised high and their heads cranked to the side to stay out of the camera’s shot, run around, making Elmo and Karli kick, laugh, and throw the ball.
Outside, it’s a chilly gray December Monday, but on set the monsterball park is brimming with plant life, and butterfly puppets held up on long metal wires flap their wings. Looking on are Elmo’s dad—yes, he has a dad now, as of 2006—and two of what Sesame Street calls “anything Muppets,” puppets with no particular character attached that are made as templates and can be adapted as needed. These Muppets—a fuzzy teal monster in an athletic jersey and a gray monster with pink and purple feathers for hair—have become Karli’s foster parents, Clem and Dalia.
In between cheering for Elmo and Karli, Elmo’s dad (whose name is Louie) asks Clem and Dalia: “How has everything been going, since becoming her foster parents?”
Clem hangs his head and sighs. “Changes like this can be really rough for kids. And for adults, too,” he says.
Next to me, Kama Einhorn, a writer and senior content manager at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, drops her head and mimics Clem. “Things are really rough,” she says in a deep, exhausted voice. This, apparently, is not exactly what Einhorn had in mind.
Between takes, she confers with the puppeteer playing Clem, and gives him a note to pep it up a little. He was being too morose, Einhorn explains to me. That’s not the vibe she wants this segment to have.
In the final version of this video—part of Sesame Workshop’s new set of materials on foster care, released today—Clem’s head is held high, and a measured acknowledgment that sometimes things can be tough gives way to excitement when it’s decided that Elmo can join Karli, Clem, and Dalia for “pizza-party Tuesdays,” because as Louie says, “everything’s better with a friend by your side.”
The foster-care resources—which include an interactive storybook and printable activities, as well as videos featuring Muppets—are the latest in a series of packages that Sesame Workshop is producing to support kids going through traumatic experiences. These online resources—which won't be featured on the television show—are intended for use by parents and caretakers, and also by therapists, social workers, and anyone else who works with such kids.
Sesame has been making various supplemental-resource packages for decades now, though they started taking their current, online form around 2010. Many of the packages on the site have nothing to do with trauma but are geared toward topics that affect every kid—healthy eating, tantrums, sharing, math. Starting in 2013, Sesame began to focus on tougher topics, starting with a package for kids whose parents are incarcerated. (All of these resources are available in both English and Spanish.) Over the past year or so, the organization has chosen three topics to focus on: family homelessness, the resources for which were released in December 2018; foster care; and substance abuse, the resources for which are slated to come out in October.
[Read: How uncertainty fuels anxiety]
Through its Sesame Street in Communities initiative, Sesame Workshop partners with organizations around the country that work with young children. Sesame picked these issues—homelessness, foster care, and substance abuse—because it heard from these partner organizations that they didn’t have many resources addressing these things from a child’s perspective, a spokesperson told me.
“Historically, I think we’ve tended to believe that young children won’t remember or don’t really have the ability to make sense of what’s going on, and therefore it doesn’t impact them. And that’s clearly not the case,” says Phil Fisher, a psychologist at the University of Oregon who studies child development under adversity, and who was not involved in creating the Sesame Street resources.
He notes, for example, that after traumatic events, children can experience changes in stress-hormone levels and have trouble paying attention. Even preverbal children, he says, understand when big changes are happening around them. “A 2-year-old is likely to be able to understand that their parents are having a hard time, or that their life circumstances are chaotic and unpredictable, even if they probably couldn’t articulate that on a verbal level,” Fisher told me.
Keeping the developmental level of the audience in mind,, Sesame Workshop puts a lot of work into conveying these concepts in ways that kids can understand.
Leaders at Sesame Workshop start by assembling a group of advisers, who work professionally on the topic at hand or who have a personal stake in it. The advisers get together with the Sesame team for a focus group and, as Einhorn puts it, “download to us what they know about the topic.” Writers at Sesame take the themes of these conversations and incorporate them into video scripts, activities, and a digital storybook. As the resources take shape, Sesame repeatedly sends them to the advisers for further comment, in a feedback loop that lasts up until the point of filming.
“We spend a lot of time fine-tuning language,” Einhorn told me. “How do our Muppets [portray] it? How do we make it playful? How do we have this light touch for a heavy topic without diminishing the topic?”
When talking to kids about any kind of traumatic experience, experts emphasize the importance of helping them name their emotions and understand that they’re normal. “Just like [how in order] to read you've got to know letters, if you’re going to talk about things that have happened to you, you’ve got to have feeling words,” says Ann Thomas, the president and CEO of The Children’s Place in Kansas City, Missouri, a treatment center for kids who’ve gone through trauma. Thomas consulted on both the foster-care package and more general traumatic-experience resources for Sesame Workshop. “They don’t know what this swirly uncomfortable stuff is. It’s like a knot inside of them. We have to start untangling that knot.” Sesame’s videos, Thomas says, not only give children those feeling words, but they model for adults how to help kids sort through their feelings out loud.
For example, in one of Sesame’s trauma videos, an adult named Alan, the proprietor of Mr. Hooper’s store, does just this for Big Bird, who arrives in the store looking upset. Alan asks how he’s doing, and he replies, “Not too good. I’ve got all these feelings.”
“Are they big feelings?” Alan asks. “Like sad, or angry, or confused? Anxious?” Big Bird responds “yeah” to each emotion. “It’s all those feelings, and they’re all mixed together, and I don’t know what to do!” the Muppet says. Alan goes on to teach Big Bird an exercise of imagining his safe place—his “comfy cozy nest”—in order to feel better.
The scene never states just what upset Big Bird, and this is not unusual, according to Daniel Anderson, a developmental psychologist who has consulted on many kids’ TV shows, including Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Blues Clues, and Sesame Street, though he was not involved in creating these resources. Writers often choose not to show the inciting event to avoid upsetting young viewers. Also, “you almost never see characters crying on a kids’ program,” he told me, “even though it would be far more realistic and gripping to the audience, but if you do that then the kids can get very upset.” And it’s true that in all the Sesame Street videos on trauma I watched in researching this story, I never saw a Muppet cry, though they hang their heads and speak sadly.
[Read: Mr. Rogers had a simple set of rules for talking to children]
For each topic, the Sesame writers boil down what they’ve learned from research and heard from advisers into bite-sized phrases such as “big feelings.” Avoiding overexplaining, Thomas says, is also key. For foster care, the takeaway phrases the writers settled on were: “You’re safe, you’re strong, you belong”—which the Muppets sing in song form in one video—and “for-now parents” as a kid-friendly synonym for “foster parents.”
Adriana Molina, an adoptive mom of two children—a daughter, 3, who was formerly in foster care and a son, 10, who is her wife’s relative—has learned to pay attention to the transitions in her kids’ lives. “When [our son] came into our lives, we thought he was going to come for a visit, and he ended up staying,” Molina, who is the director of a community mental-health organization for kids in Los Angeles called Project ABC, told me. “We didn’t know to give him as many of the words for This is what’s happening, or This is what’s changing. Whereas with [our daughter], she’d only been in one foster home her entire little life. We were able to ease into that process and do some visits in her space. Slowing things down was a very concrete learning” experience, she said.
Molina was an adviser for Sesame’s foster-care resources, bringing both her personal and professional experience to the process. “‘For-now parents’ is a lovely, neutral place to be,” she said. “The language of being in foster care is it’s where you are now; it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s where you will always be.”
But that concept of temporariness is often hard for young kids to grasp, according to Anderson. “Preschoolers have such a limited time frame and sense of past and future,” he said. “And something like homelessness, even if it’s temporary, it might be temporary in terms of months, which would seem permanent to a child. That’s a very difficult thing to deal with.” Ideally, he suggests keeping conversations with very young children in the realm of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The idea that things are a certain way “for now” and might be different in the future is “not a real reassuring kind of notion because preschool kids really crave stability and security.” But, he says, “it’s honest,” and for kids going through something such as homelessness or foster care, "I guess that’s probably as good as you can do.”
After all, uncertainty creates anxiety even for adults. And trying to shield kids from the uncertainty shaping their lives, Molina said, doesn’t work. "Part of what creates the anxiety is when they're being told one thing, but they have a sense of something else," she said.
Thomas adds that if grown-ups don't explain what's happening to children, kids will create their own explanations, which might make them feel even worse than the truth. “When bad things happen, it’s very natural [for young kids] to assume they caused it," she says. "It’s natural to have magical thinking at this age.” Her advice is similar to Anderson’s—don’t lie about what’s happening, even if you have to be ambiguous (telling them they’ll see their parents when they’re “bigger,” for example), and “grounding them back in what’s working today,” Thomas says.
The digital storybook about Karli addresses this magical thinking directly: “A lot of grown-ups are helping your mom,” Karli’s foster mom, Dalia, says in the book. “It’s a grown-up problem and it’s not your job to fix it. None of the bad things that happened at home were your fault.”
No character ever explicitly discusses why Karli is in foster care, but Einhorn told me that the Sesame Street team wrote the character with the idea that her mother is away getting treatment for substance abuse. Karli will be featured again in the substance-abuse resources that are slated to come out this fall, though they won’t reference foster care, and the foster-care resources likewise don’t reference substance abuse.
All the packages are self-contained, so kids won’t need to see both in order to make sense of Karli's story. Though as Einhorn put it, “trauma is trauma,” and there are some recurring themes in the content. Many of the resources emphasize the importance of relying on a broader community for support. And activities such as breathing exercises or artistic expression show up repeatedly. Karli draws out her feelings in the foster-care storybook, and colors a concentric heart in one of the videos to show that “a heart can grow” with love for her foster parents and new friends, even as she feels sad about missing her mom. In one of the homelessness videos, a Muppet named Lily draws dots on a chalkboard to represent all the people who love her, and connects them to form a heart.
Fisher, the University of Oregon psychologist, looked at the homelessness and trauma resources before we spoke, and said that “the messages that were employed were trauma-informed and evidence-informed, and have been found to be effective.” What’s less clear, he said, is if exercises that are effective in a therapeutic context will still work when delivered through a screen.
That’s something Sesame Workshop is studying—a spokesperson told me that the organization is currently conducting a randomized controlled trial on the effects of their trauma resources, but the results won’t be out until later this year.
“What seems to me to be the active ingredient here is the normalization of these experiences for children,” Fisher said. “[It can be] really ostracizing and isolating for children to perceive that their circumstances are different than others’. You have these familiar characters talking about it and normalizing that it’s something that can produce feelings.”
“The Muppets can often do what humans can’t,” Einhorn said. “They’ve got this special power.”
I met Molina and her son on set in December when the foster-care segments were being filmed. (Several advisers were invited to the taping.) Her son was shy when I asked him what he thought of the monsterball scene we had just watched. “It’s pretty cool,” he said. He perked up as his mom described to me the process of adopting his sister from foster care, and he interjected a few times to add details to the story. Still, the Muppets made an impression, it seems. Recently, Molina told me that when she and her son got home from the trip to New York, “he spent two weeks trying to perfect his Elmo voice.”

‘S.N.L.’ Takes Aim at Trump and the Abortion Bans
A “Saturday Night Live” season finale is traditionally an occasion for the show to pull out all the stops, leave everything on the stage, tear it all down and figure out how to put it back together in the fall. In this weekend’s conclusion to “S.N.L.” Season 44 (which was hosted by Paul Rudd), the musical guest DJ Khaled certainly brought it, performing with a pantheon of surprise performers including Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Meek Mill, SZA and John Legend, while also paying tribute to the rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was fatally shot in March.
And, well, Alec Baldwin and the “S.N.L.” cast tried their hand at a musical number of their own.
The show’s opening sketch began with Baldwin (who has been a more infrequent presence this past season) as President Trump in the Oval Office. He explained that he was excited for the summer and said that the “American economy is on fire — I’m not going to tell you if it’s a fire that keeps you warm or burns your house to the ground, but it’s some kind of fire.”
Baldwin added, “I’m on cruise control to a second term and there’s nothing the Democrats in Congress can do about it. So sit back and enjoy the ride, America, because tonight, well — ”
This kicked off a music parody of Queen’s glam-rock classic “Don’t Stop Me Now” that also featured Beck Bennett as Vice President Mike Pence, Cecily Strong as Melania Trump and Aidy Bryant as Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Rather than try to sing it ourselves, we’ll just share some of the most memorable lyrics:
Bryant: He’s a loose cannon ripping up the laws of society
You can’t subpoena him, he’s gonna obstruct
Strong: He’s a billionaire, unless you take a look at his tax returns
He’s gonna hide, hide, hide
Oh, there’s no showing you
Baldwin: I’m burning every bridge, picking every fight
Strong: That’s why they call him Mr. Bad Advice
‘Cause he listens to the Fox News guys
There were further cameos from Chris Redd as Kanye West, Kenan Thompson as Justice Clarence Thomas, Kate McKinnon as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Mikey Day as Donald Trump Jr. and Alex Moffat as Eric Trump. (When he was told that he was allowed to sing as well, Moffat performed a verse of the “Muppet Show” theme song.)
Revisiting his role as the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, Robert De Niro attempted to halt the performance, declaring that he had “something very important to say to the American people — something they need to hear.” But Baldwin simply talked over him — “No collusion, no obstruction,” he said — and resumed the number.
At the conclusion of the sketch, Baldwin told the audience, “I don’t know what’s next for me, but I wouldn’t be Donald Trump if I didn’t say tune in next season to see who lives and who dies.”
McKinnon added, “Spoiler: I live. I live for another 150 years. And the Iron Throne will be mine.”

Nearly a ‘Game of Thrones’ Tribute of the Week
In a filmed segment, Pete Davidson started off what seemed like a rap bidding farewell to “Game of Thrones” on the eve of its series finale:
Jon Snow, dragons, lotsa wolves
Blue zombies, armor clothes, silver swords that extendo
Prostitute houses, lotsa wine
Big ass wall, I never miss an episode
But when he was called out by Kenan Thompson for not really knowing the series (and not recognizing the actor Jacob Anderson, who plays Grey Worm), Davidson changed course and started rapping about a show that he said he did like — the Netflix comedy “Grace and Frankie,” starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin:
They once caught their exes kissing,
You don’t know what you’re missing
Grace dated Craig T. Nelson
Frankie dated Ernie Hudson
They’re both like 80-something
Riding hot air balloons like it’s nothing
Think I’m bluffing let me tell you boy
It sure is something
Leslie Jones Segment of the Week
For a “Weekend Update” commentary on the numerous states that have recently passed sweeping prohibitions on abortion, Leslie Jones took to the stage wearing a costume from “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She said to Colin Jost, “My name is actually Ofjost. But I don’t know how good of a baby maker I’m going to be because my eggs is dusty as hell, but I’ll give it a shot.”
Describing these abortion restrictions as “a war on woman,” Jones said, “This is how it starts. I’m out living my life. Then I see on the news, a bunch of states are trying to ban abortion. And they tell me what I can and can’t do with my body. Next thing you know, I’m in Starbucks and they won’t take my credit card because I’m a woman. Instead of the regular reason, which is, I don’t have no money on it.”
Jones also offered her support to other women who may feel “scared or confused,” telling them, “You’re not alone.” “You can’t tell me what to do with my body,” Jones said. “You can’t make me small or put me in a box. I’m six feet tall and 233 pounds. Ain’t no box big enough to hold me. And I know, ‘cause one time I tried to mail myself to a dude.”
Spit Take of the Week
Speaking from the “Weekend Update” desk, Cecily Strong reprised her role as Jeanine Pirro, the Fox News personality who was suspended by the network earlier this year for anti-Muslim remarks. After expressing her gratitude to “the brave sponsors who stuck with me despite the accusations by the radical loony left,” Strong took intermittent sips from a martini glass and emptied its contents on the “Weekend Update” anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che.
When Jost asked her if she could speak more softly, Strong answered, “Oh, no can do, bud. Twenty years ago, I yelled at a waiter because my Cobb salad had a cranberry in it. And now I’m locked at this volume every day for the rest of my life.”
Talk Show Parody of the Week
You had to wait until late in the show to get to it, but this week “S.N.L.” did once again return to the comfortable terrain of “The View,” the ABC daytime talk show that Leslie Jones (playing co-host Whoopi Goldberg) described as “the most high-stakes brunch on television.”
Aidy Bryant was back as Meghan McCain (“I’m getting attacked and as the person most upset right now, I am right,” she said), and Paul Rudd had his first crack at playing Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who is vying for the Democratic presidential nomination. “I may only be 37 years old, but I do feel like I represent everyday Americans,” Rudd said. “I’m just a Harvard-educated, multilingual war veteran Rhodes scholar. I’m just like you.”
