The Muppet Newsflash has reported that Big Bird will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel THIS Wednesday night and that Elmo and Rosita will be appearing on Jimmy Fallon next Monday, November 9th. This is going to be AWESOME!

I still don't think Jimmy Fallon of all people needs a late night talk show, but I'd be happy to see this for sure, lol.

Have you SEEN Jimmy, Snowthy? He's HILARIOUS. Like, consistently. He's fresh and vibrant and just funny all the time. He's my favorite of the late night hosts.

I also have no love for the Jimmys of late night. They always seem to be having more fun laughing than I am - and I laugh a lot. They just make me feel uncomfortable like when Chevy Chase tried too hard on his infamous talk show.

There have only been three real late night hosts for my taste. Johnny Carson, David Letterman and Conan O'Brien. I do like Craig Ferguson, but he's fairly loose and breezy. I don't count Jon Stewart or Bill Maher as late night hosts as much as political comedy.

I prefer the Muppets to be on Conan or Letterman, but for some reason that just doesn't happen. I guess the Jimmys have good taste or good booking agents. I can say that for them.

I'm not saying he's not funny, what I meant was... to me, to give a former SNLer his own late night talk show would be like giving Sarah Palin her own country... if that makes sense...

Does anyone know (or have a good guess) who's performing Big Bird on Jimmy Kimmel? Is Carroll Spinney still doing live appearances? He's one performer I would still really like to meet, and it would be great if he was coming out to the west coast!

The last I recall Big Bird being performed for a live event, it was Caroll, but that was a few years ago, and it was regarding Caroll being honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award... lol, Big Bird was so funny...

"YAY, CAROLL SPINNEY! GO, CAROLL SPINNEY! Wait... who's Caroll Spinney?"

Shameless plug...

I posted Grover's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel from 2005 on YT a few years ago, back when they didn't suck.

I forgot to tape Fozzie (and Rizzo)'s appearance from that same year, but oh well. I'ma tape Big Bird's appearance for sure!

"You were great in 'Sideways'!" Love that bit. If any show is responsible for the erosion of brain power it's the 8 seasons of Wings, not the 40 seasons of Sesame Street. I'm reminded by the episode of Animaniacs when the Devil professes his limits to how many years he can renew Wings. Anyway, that Kimmel is Grover at his best!

Gee, MC it's been a while. Yes. Awesome.I can't wait for the Elmo/Rosita one.

EDIT: LOL! Slayer and Big Bird are on in the same episode... That could end in hilarity

[theprawncracker]

Sesame Workshop's official Facebook page has said that Oscar will be on Kimmel tonight with the Bird. This is going to be GREAT!

[D'Snowth]

Added bonus!

[BEAR]

I'm looking forward to this! Will they be on at the same time?

[D'Snowth]

VCR ready, gettin' excited!

GREAT... my local ABC is playing Seinfeld? NOW of all times? What is going ON? Argh.
