Episode 4411



The Count has won the Noble Prize for counting! Everyone on Sesame Street has gathered for the ceremony, and the two judges are ready to present the prize. There is just one problem – the Count is missing! Chris, Alan and Telly learn that the Count went to Chicago for a big counting emergency, and his flight is delayed. Chris explains the situation to the judges and asks if they could give them the prize for the time being. Unfortunately, that is not possible because there is one final counting test to confirm that the Count is in fact the world’s greatest counter. The test is to count dancing pickles in 18 seconds. To stall the judges, Alan and Telly try to impersonate the Count, but they are unable to count the dancing pickles in time. Elmo tries next, using a counting trick that the Count taught him – counting by two’s. He successfully counts the pickles in time! But according to the Count’s profile, whenever the Count completes a counting task, it is followed by lightning and thunder. The judges did not hear either, so they do not award the Count with the Noble Prize. As the judges leave, Chris tells the Count not to rush back because his prize is being given to second greatest counter instead. The Count responds that it is less important to have prizes to count than it is to have friends to count who care about you when you’re not there. At that moment, the Count enters, surprising everyone, and begins counting all of his friends on Sesame Street.
