Grouch Valenti appears in a season 25 episode of Sesame Street.
Valenti appears on the street apropos of nothing to host "The Grouchiest Grouch Awards." Oscar thinks he's a shoo-in, but nearby, Gina blows off steam because of her late friend. Valenti is impressed and awards Gina the trophy.
The character is a spoof of Jack Valenti, former president of the Motion Picture Association of America and a frequent presenter at the Academy Awards.
