The Number of the Day

The Number of The Day premiered as a daily segment on Sesame Street in 2002. It originally featured The Count playing an organ to get to the number of the day.

The numbers 0-21 have been represented as numbers of the day.

Starting in season 36, all Number of the Day segments for the numbers 1-10 were remakes of The Baker Film opening sequence, followed by a human child playing with a jack-in-the-box to get to the number of the day. Newer segments for higher numbers featured a song with Count von Count and the Countess.
