Tour de Pharmacy

Tour de Pharmacy is a 2017 HBO special, a forty minute mockumentary presenting fictitious events of a drug-riddled 1982 Tour de France.

Present day interviews are interspersed. In one, animator Victoria Young says she worked on animated segments for Sesame Street but was fired by Henson for not drawing fast enough. She also cites the show's unhappiness with her controversial puppet creation Huey Black (spoofing Roosevelt Franklin). In a brief faux Sesame clip (dated 1979), the foul-mouthed Huey swears at a Muppet monster. Puppeteers for the scene were Kevin Clash and Russ Walko.
