COLD OPEN | Monty introduces "Inside Sesame Street," the news program that brings you "the stories behind the stories." He teases some of the stories they'll be breaking today and throws it to the theme song... | |
SCENE 1 | Monty introduces the story of Little Jack Horner, who has recently given up eating with his thumb. At Hooper's, Katie Couric (subbing for a vacationing Prairie Dawn) interviews Horner, who has tried using parts of his face to eat his pie, with less-than-satisfactory results: he stuck in his hair and pulled out a pear, then stuck in his snout and pulled out a trout, etc. He vows to make a comeback, however, then sticks his thumb in the pie and accidentally flings a plum into Katie's eye. Coming up next: Is Oscar about to play a non-Grouchy game? | |

The ice cream doesn't belong, according to the kids, since it's dessert. Oscar reveals the Grouch answer - they all belong, since they're all ingredients of Grouch ice cream.
