 |
COLD OPEN | Grover announces we'll be seeing some wild animals today, but doesn't notice the lion, tiger and bear behind him. |
  |
SCENE | Elmo welcomes the viewer, when Grover pulls up in his ATV, calling for people to join his "Wild Animals of Sesame Street" safari tour. This attracts Mr. Johnson, who seems interested, having always wanted to see a real-live warthog. He and Elmo hop into the car and they all sing a safari tune as they drive to their first stop. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | The first stop is at Hooper's Store to see some monkeys, though Mr. Johnson points out there are none around. Grover states that first, they need to put on their monkey outfits and pretend to be monkeys to attract their attention. Mr. Johnson refuses to join, not really even knowing how to pretend. Elmo and Grover put on their outfits and pretend to be monkeys, which attracts a real one (John Kennedy) to the store (swinging into Chris on a vine). He takes a selfie with Mr. Johnson and wishes to join the safari tour, hearing the next stop is to see elephants. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | The tour makes its way to the garden, where it's time for more pretending! Elmo and Grover don elephant ears and trunks and make elephant noises. The monkey joins in as well and suddenly, Horatio the Elephant appears to play with his fellow elephants. Grover announces one more stop on the tour, which Mr. Johnson believes will be the warthogs. Horatio has never seen a warthog and hops in the ATV. |
 |
SCENE cont'd | The car stops outside 123 Sesame Street, where Grover admits there may not be any warthogs after all; he's never seen one, thus can't lure one out by pretending. Mr. Johnson shows them how warthogs act, finally understanding how to pretend. An actual warthog (Stephanie D'Abruzzo) shows up and mistakes Mr. Johnson for one of her kind, dragging him off to meet her family. |

Muppets | Smart Cookies: The Fancy Schmancy Dinner The Cookie Cookies arrive at a restaurant, where Lady Crunchington requests they make sure they keep the Crumb from ruining her fancy, schmancy dinner party. The Crumb does arrive and releases some Wild Animal Crackers into the restaurant, causing chaos. Cookie Monster tries to save the day using Miss Fortune's clues (the solution is purple, made with fruit and is used with peanut butter), but only follows them one at a time. Finally, he stops and thinks and comes up with the solution - jelly! He sprays it on the animal crackers, sticking them into place. They all chase the Crumb out, unaware that the dinner guests are stuck together too. |
