This is sad sad news. Sesame Street just got a little less awesome. :<

Sesame Street hasn't been awesome since cookies became a sometimes food.

He's in a better place now.  Probably has a lot of games to play too, if you consider all the series Capcom has killed.

I think there's more dead Hollywood talent than living Hollywood talent these days anyway. Personally I look forward to it.
