Christopher Jackson says the superpower of Sesame Street is because they have this legacy of reaching out to everyone, everyone responds. They find all these cultural moments and they somehow find a way, whether it is a reworking of a popular song or a reworking of a popular television series or whatever and they find a way of reaching out to all of the people who made those things and tell them to come on, we are making a stew, come season it with what you are doing; come play with us for a while.
You can watch this special tonight at 8pm right here on Channel 7.
