Roger Ebert (1942-2013) was a film critic who wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times. He is best known as the co-host of several incarnations of movie review television programs, such as At the Movies.
He and Gene Siskel guest-starred on Sesame Street during season 22; appearing in a segment of "Sneak Peek Previews" (a parody of their series), and cameoing in the celebrity version of "Monster in the Mirror."
Years later, Ebert made a special appearance in the 2004 home video special A Celebration of Me, Grover, delivering a review of "The King and I."
