Sesame Street has been on the air for 45 years, and to celebrate, the cast of lovable Muppets went on The Tonight Show… to read a few hashtags with Jimmy Fallon.

Anything can happen when you let characters like Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch loose, so in a way, having them read some of the funnier entries for #WhenIWasAKid felt a little stifling. But the Sesame Street cast are professionals, so even if they’ve only got 30 seconds of time to use after reading a tweet, they’re going to use it to their full advantage to create a serving of fantastic havoc.

You could have them anchor the news. We’ve already proven that we’ll watch them in just about anything and still manage to smile.

And Big Bird finally got a question we’ve been wondering about for years, and he still managed to cop out. Inquiring minds of kids (and even adults) still want to know!
