Ike and the Ilk



"Ike and the Ilk" is a Sesame Street story (scripted by Emily Perl Kingsley) and told by Maria, with the Anything Muppets acting it out. It's the story of King Morris the Miserable, who is tired of eating the same boring foods beginning with the letter M. One day, a lad named Ike brings him a new food, a drink called "ilk" (which makes King Morris go mmmmmm until it's renamed milk.)

Performers include Frank Oz (as King Morris), Jim Henson (the king's attendant), Jerry Nelson (Ike, herald, young lady) and Richard Hunt (man).
