Long before we had remote learning, there was Sesame Street. Now the children’s educational show is celebrating 50 wonderful years with a 2-hour special. Featuring guests such as Whoopi Goldberg, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the special endeavors to showcase Sesame Street’s efforts over the many years to represent all kids, with muppets on the autism spectrum, different ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, and so on. This includes Wes and Elijah Walker, black father and son muppets born of Sesame Workshop’s racial justice initiative. If your parents had a TV in the house, odds are you grew up with Sesame Street, and if you have kids now, they’re probably watching too. Enjoy that nostalgia and legacy with Sunny Days.
