Six Degrees: Jon Stewart on ‘Sesame Street’ (and some Klassic Kolbert)

[This post has been edited because the embedded video was making the page load reeeeeally slowly. - Ms I]

I somehow managed to miss seeing this until today. Jon doesn’t have a huge role, but there’s just something about the combination of Jon Stewart and Sesame Street that puts a big ol’ smile on my face.

From the Sesame Street Podcast (via mefeedia), here’s Sesame Street: Practice with Jon Stewart. You can also choose to watch just Jon’s segment — sans the kids from Sesame Streethere.

And since I am, in fact, just that big a sucker for seeing the boys take on Sesame Street, I’ve added a just few more classic vids after the cut.

    The first thing I thought was: Jon doesn’t sing… or is he deliberately hiding this secret talent from us because the truth would cause us all to implode with pure unadulterated joy?

    So… is that really Jon singing? The possibility is too adorable to comprehend!

    Yeah, sounds like his voice, only dubbed in a recording booth. I’ve been waiting for Stephen to enact his zrevenge for a while! Maybe he’ll do so someday…

    Awweee…though I have a very low tolerance for Elmo (please don’t throw things at me for saying that), Jon and Elmo singing is absolutely adorable. It’s too bad we don’t get to hear Jon sing much — he’s quite good. A Jon and Stephen duet would be just perfect. LOL!

    Ha ha, I agree wholeheartedly with Caitlin. Jon and Stephen should do a duet, and I will be able to die a happy woman.

    The clip of Jon was unbearably adorable though.
