Cookie Monster Wants to Host "Saturday Night Live" [VIDEO]

The Cookie Monster from Sesame Street thinks he should follow Betty White's footsteps and host Saturday Night Live. We totally agree.

Let it never be said that the folks at Sesame Workshop don't get social media. In fact, they get it in spades. From spoofing the Old Spice guy, creating Google Search Stories to penning its own "There's an App for That" song, this is a brand that knows how to connect with kids and adults using the Internet and social media.

The latest example, a plea from Cookie Monster to host SNL by way of a YouTube video is a pretty impressive feat. The sketch topics and musical guests are truly inspired ("Macarooner" was funnier in 20 seconds than the entire MacGruber movie).

Sesame Street doesn't appear to be stopping at just the YouTube video. There's a Facebook fan page dedicated to getting everyone's favorite cookie addict -- or as he likes to say, "cookie enthusiast" to a different part of New York City.
