Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for "Inside the Sesame Studio". Today, we take a look at the alphabet, and here is todays host, Big Bird!
Big Bird: Thank you, everybody, thank you! I like the alphabet, and many others like it, too. But do you know the entire alphabet? I did, although I used to think that it was all one big word.

Segments
  • ABC-DEF-GHI (1980s version, introduction cut)

Big Bird: But I later leanred the truth. It's not all one word. Of course, some people like to pretend that some letters are different.

Segments
  • Kermit and Joey recite the alphabet

Big Bird: But here is the right way to say the alphabet.

Segments
  • Madrigal Alphabet
  • James Earl Jones recites the alphabet
  • Ernie writes an alphabet story (original version)

Big Bird: I'll tell you how that story ends. The last letter of the alphabet is the letter Z.
Zoe: (rushing on-stage) Oh, that's my favorite letter.
Big Bird: And here are some things about Z.

Segments
  • Kermit's Z lecture
  • Typewriter: Z-zoo

Big Bird: But we must focus on other letters as well. Here is just a handful of those other letters.

Segments
  • Alphaquest: S
  • Speech Balloon: G-gorillia
  • Letter of the Day Games: Y
  • Ernie and Lefty: P and R
  • Herbert Birdsfoot talks about M and W

Big Bird: And now the Honkers will let me know what their favorite letters are.
(one Honker honks his nose, and a U apears on-screen)
Big Bird: That's a U.
(another Honker honks his nose, and a P appears on-screen)
Big Bird: That's a P.
(the last Honker honks his nose, and a B appears on-screen)
Big Bird: And that's a B.

Segments

  • Letter of the Day: P
  • B.B. King

Bert: My favorite letter is the letter W. And here is a great clip.

Big Bird: Well, time's running out, so before we go, let's see how the alphabet was formed.
