Spike Lee



Spike Lee is the Academy Award-nominated director of such films as Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X and Jungle Fever.

Lee appeared on Sesame Street in 2000 to direct "Summer of Snuffy," a spoof of his film Summer of Sam. In it, Snuffy is directed to act sad when Big Bird can't play cabbage volleyball with him at the beach. Unfortunatley for Lee, Snuffy's personality won't break from his happy disposition. This leaves the director frustated enough to strap on a snuffle and play the role himself.
