Oscar at the Emmys

May 20, 2005: It’s another year, another shelf full of Emmy Awards for Sesame Street. This year, they took home four awards — for outstanding pre-school children’s program, outstanding direction in a children’s series, outstanding art direction, and outstanding performer in a children’s series for Kevin Clash. One of the highlights of the broadcast was a surprising appearance by Oscar the Grouch and a friend from Pine Valley…Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 1.13.32 PM

And now, please welcome two of television’s grumpiest characters… from Sesame Street, Oscar the Grouch… and from All My Children, Adam the Grouch — David Canary!
(Oscar emerges from a trash can… and David pops up from another. David beams at Oscar, who sighs.)
David


Oscar…
Oscar


Yeah?
David


This is the closest I’ve ever been to an Oscar. Thanks for letting me spend time with you today.
Oscar


Hey, I had no choice.Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 1.13.41 PM

Who are you again?
David


David Canary… the actor.
Oscar


The actor. Well, there goes the neighborhood.Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 1.13.45 PM

David

C’mon, Oscar. As one grouch to another… Can’t we just get along?
Oscar


I don’t know. You don’t seem so grouchy to me.
David


Well, when I’m grouchy, it’s because I’m acting. Why are you so grouchy?
Oscar


I’ve seen your acting.Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 1.13.49 PM

Oscar


Oh! Well, I’ll have to take it for him.
(David steps out of the trash can to take the award.)
Oscar


I don’t know why he wants one of these things. After all, they’re nice and shiny, and everyone who gets one is so happy. Yuccch! But, I’ll take it anyway. Maybe I’ll keep it for myself. Heh heh…Screen shot 2011-08-05 at 1.13.57 PM
