00:24Hi there, and welcome to a very special hour.
00:27Well, actually I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to them.
00:32Back in 1968, I was asked to take part in an experiment to see if you could use television
00:42to teach preschool children.
00:44We all figured it might last a few seasons at most, but here we are 20 years later, and
00:49Sesame Street is still going strong.
00:51Twenty years!
00:53Yes, twenty years.
00:53Woo!
00:56Anyhow, tonight we're going to look back over those years.
00:58Our host is Bill Cosby, and our very special guest stars are Ray Charles and Placido Domingo.
01:03It's a very different kind of birthday party, and you're all invited.
01:07Why, thank you!
01:08Oh, I'm sorry, you were talking to him, right?
01:11No, actually, you have to go get changed, alright?
01:13Because it's time for us to start the show, and here's Bill Cosby.
01:20Hi!
01:21I'm standing on the most famous street in America, maybe in the whole world, Sesame Street.
01:25The Fix-It Shop, Poop Restore, the Carriage House.
01:29Kermit the Frog!
01:30Kermit the Frog!
01:31Go Cosby!
01:33What are you doing here?
01:34Well, actually, I'm not here at all, you see.
01:36I'm on my way out to do my Frog on the Street interview asking the question of the day!
01:40Yeah, would you do me a favor?
01:42Ask me the question of the day.
01:43I always wanted that.
01:44No, I couldn't do that.
01:45No, I couldn't do that.
01:46You got it.
01:46It wouldn't work, though.
01:47Please, come on.
01:48Now, ask me.
01:49Go ahead.
01:49Okay, well, the question of the day is, uh, can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
01:54Well, Kermit, uh, yeah, it is kind of a dumb question.
01:58Yeah, I told you it wouldn't work.
02:00I'll see you around.
02:00Okay, buddy!
02:01Take care!
02:03Sesame Street has been here 20 years.
02:0540 million kids have graduated from this place, and it's now seen all over the world.
02:10They're still asking how to get here.
02:12I took the A train.
02:40It's so hard, though, to look.
02:49However, there was a soon will now.
02:50It's very weird.
02:51It's a dream strategy behind me.
02:51It was so who met in the back.
02:51Yeah.
02:59I'm sure yes he needs to the mentoring.
03:00It's router too.
03:01But look at the expected.
