    Steven’s question near the end, about 6:50, is kind of poignant:

    What is it like being famous for a character who isn’t you, who gets to say and you things you don’t get to do? I’m asking for a friend.

    Dang typos. Dang lack of an edit function. Corrected quote:

    You’re right. I will correct it. I can’t believe I made such a careless mistake since I am such a huge Sesame Street and Muppets fan.
