You might know John Oliver as the dapper British gent speaking truth to power every Sunday on Last Week Tonight. But did you know he also co-anchors a nightly news broadcast about words with Cookie Monster?
Just kidding, that's not a thing. But you would totally watch that show.
Enjoy our latest collaboration with Sesame Workshop and Last Week Tonight, in which John and Cookie (and a few surprise guests) tackle the hard-hitting, alphabetastic news you need to know.
Watch the Out-Takes!
If you enjoyed the video above, you'll love the out-takes and behind-the-scenes footage.
This project is in support of Sesame Street's Words Are Here, There and Everywhere, a fantastic digital resource that encourages families to explore the world of words all around them. This initiative was developed in partnership with PNC Grow Up Great.
Special thanks to the amazing Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Al Roker (The TODAY Show) and Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation) for being part of this special video. It would not have been possible without their generous time and extraordinary talent.
