Season 40 (FORTY!) of Sesame Street is scheduled to begin airing in November, which is, like, forever from now. But the Sesame folks have already gotten us excited by announcing all the guest stars who will be appearing this year. For the past few seasons, it seems like they've tried to cram a celebrity guest into every episode, which is lots of fun for parents and grown-up fans, and probably less fun for the children in the audience who have no idea who these people are.
Last year we held a poll to determine which upcoming guest star was generating the most excitement, and Neil Patrick Harris won in a landslide, taking 56% of the vote. And of course, he did a fantastic job in his role as the Shoe Fairy.
This year I want to know once again: Which upcoming celebrity appearance on Sesame Street is gonna be the awesomest?
Is it comic actor Ricky Gervais, whose interactions with Elmo promise to be a hoot? Is it everyone's favorite mutant awards show host, Hugh Jackman? Or basketball-playing guy Kobe Bryant? Maybe you're more a fan of Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, though I can't imagine why.
Perhaps you're looking forward to actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who will probably be talking about something other than sex for a change. Or comedian Adam Sandler -- based on that photo, I'm guessing he'll be playing an acoustic set with a Muppet dragon singing backup. Then there's singer Jason Mraz, who has a funny last name; and Cameron Diaz, who used to be a movie star; and racecar driver Jeff Gordon, who could teach kids how fun it is to drive at unsafe speeds.
Or... well dang, I'm just about out of slots in the poll and there are still more guest stars left. There's a list on Muppet Wiki's season 40 page, so check it out and then click here to vote in the poll and tell me which season 40 guest star you're most looking forward to!
