Sesame Street at Night? is a half-hour PBS special hosted by Gene Shalit, with featured appearances by Grover, that aired in March of 1977 to celebrate Sesame Street's 1,000th episode.

According to press materials,

“Shalit is to host an adult 'look' at Sesame Street in a Festival '77 special for PBS. The 30-minute special, Sesame Street at Night? takes its theme from a critic's remark when TV's most popular children's series began eight years ago – 'It's too good for kids.'”
