Muppets Mingle at Sesame Gala

052809muppets.jpg

The gang from Sesame Street was out walking the red carpet last night for their 7th Annual Gala benefiting the Sesame Workshop. Held far away from their Astoria home at Cipriani on 42nd Street, the muppets (friends of the First Lady) greeted some bold-face names, and Sheryl Crow even performed a duet with Elmo. Here are some of your Sesame faves (glad to see Grover made it out!) with the likes of Mayor Bloomberg, Brian Williams and Al Roker. Why do you think muppets hate Al Roker so much; maybe he didn't deliver enough "sunny days" to the street?

Al Roker learns that Muppets do indeed have teeth.

one question: where is bloomie's thumb in that picture?

any one of those puppets would be a better mayor than that fucking midget!

I was going to say that there's no need to make comments on this since they basically write themselves (i.e., "Which one's not a muppet in the first photo"), but that was a nice one. Kudos.

No, people hate Roker because he has become an insufferable turd, and yet he thinks he's still beloved in NYC. Actually this goes for the entire Today cast.

I once saw Roker at the Lexington Ave Candy Shop, eating a double cheeseburger and huge shake. I'm not kidding when I say his tukus was occupying two bar stools. I think this was in the days when he was complaining about how diets weren't helping him, so he needed gastric bypass. I'm sure he ate Elmo after this event.

This almost confirms it, Bloomberg and Roker live secret lives as furries!
