#TBT The sweetest Sesame Street video you’ll ever see

Joey Calvan Sesame Street

This video of Kermit the Frog and an impossibly adorable little girl named Joey Calvan came across my Facebook feed and it was so wonderful I just had to share.

In the clip from 1973 you see the little girl spoof on Kermit as they sing their ABCs. Her giggle when she says “Cookie Monster” and then Jim Henson’s wonderful work as the puppeteer and voice says everything about why Sesame Street has been, and will continue to be, an American TV classic.

“I love you too.”

What happened during the taping of this particular interaction was used as the prologue to a biography on Jim Henson by Brian Jay Jones.

One curious fan has been on the hunt to find out what happened to Joey but hasn’t had any luck yet.
