In today's Alphabet Chat, Mr. Chatterly attempts to recite a poem he's written in tribute to the letter L. Throughout his recitation, he's disrupted by Cookie Monster at the window, a repairman hammering at his chair, and a female Anything Muppet looking for her lost animal (which turns out to be a cow pretending to be it). As the program ends, Mr. Chatterly erupts at one of the program's crew members.
Supporting cast[]
Frank Oz as Cookie Monster, the female AM, and the stagehand
Two different takes of the segment were used on the show. In the version used in its initial airings, Cookie Monster asks for a particular cookie, and a Green AM woman wanders on set looking for her kitty cat. In the take used in Episode 1018 and on, more L-words are incorporated in the dialogue, Cookie merely says "Listen!" before leaving, and a Little Orange AM girl comes in looking for her lost lamb Lulu. In this version, the stagehand refers to Mr. Chatterly as "Lyle."
