The standing ovation... I cried. These are all grown adults, and some of them were crying towards the end, Bc even if they do grow up, we all still have that little child inside us that remembers being in front of the Tv and singing the songs and being goofy.guess we don’t ever really grow up, do we?
The Vlogger Dude Yep I never get old and tired of sesame why are jonance colony and loyd so serious your show has made it 50 years smile for once❤️💙😃
Of course! Its something about this show that just transports you back to a happier, innocent time. Idk how to explain it.
Sesame street had very talented puppeteers, writers, producers, etc. Wow, they had a big list of celebrity guest stars too. I had no idea so many famous people appeared on the show too. To me, Sesame street was the great predecessor of the Muppet show, which I also loved watching.

Did anybody else notice that all the muppets are wearing a yellow bird feather on their suits?... My heart... RIP Caroll Spinney!
Yep. The world is a better place because of him. There are so many quirky, weird, fun, creative types, Jim Henson included, who do small things that make a big difference. Caroll was one of them.
When the Academy of American Television presented Carroll with its Lifetime Achievement award, the (human) cast did the same thing for their appearance. I believe that was in 2006.
All the humans have one too
Caroll passed away the day before this took place. It took a lot of strength and courage for them to get through it.
@@davyt0247yes, because every human on the world has a yellow feather on them
I am still amazed how they were able to perform flawlessly despite their friend Carroll spinney passing away less than 24 hours before this was taped. I can only imagine they were driven by their desire to honor him by keeping the show going
There's a real tradition of that in the culture of Henson Studios. Jim Henson's funeral is on TH-cam in full and...it's worth watching.
instablaster...
@yu mmi u
Who''s Carroll?
Never mind!
I grew up in a very abusive house home where we didn’t have much food and me and my siblings just stayed in the room all day we didn’t have clean clothes or go to school, my parents did drugs and always fight all the time, but every time Sesame Street came on it made me smile and it made me think that there are good places in the world and I would love to go to Sesame Street one day thank you to everyone on Sesame Street who got me through a hard time
So glad Sesame Street did so much good for you.
I wouldn't consider myself famous unless I got a cameo on Sesame Street.
Same.
The best benchmark there is
I hope to animate stuff for the show someday...
@@jadstudiosofficialBest of luck to you. Reach out for the sky!
It was really funny when Big Bird was talking to Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a really great guy. I think this was the first time we ever saw a Muppet talking to a Toy Story star.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
big bird isn't technically a muppet. but yes
Endeavours Radio He actually is a muppet since he was created by Jim Henson
yeah he died
peace in love
I saw Cynthia Erivo crying in the audience. Really shows how Sesame Street still is greatest thing to happen to TV, Education, and Entertainment
Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood were the only 2show my brothers and I watched while growing up. Big bird, Elmo and Grover were my absolute favorite ones but as time went on everyone had a spot in my heart. I hope and pray that they will continue the creators legacy for many many more years to come.
I felt myself get teary-eyed too 🥲❤️
@@brendaherrera5424 On our PBS station it was those 2, Electric Company and Zoom.
I’d cry too if I saw actual Sesame Street characters perform 😢
I'm a 6'0" 260 pound sports-loving, whiskey-drinking man. I grew up watching and learning from Sesame Street, and I cried watching this video. They deserved a longer portion of the show....
ME TOO : , (
I agree! I wish they would have done a medley
I cried so hard through all of this. Made me realize that Sesame Street was my only safe space growing up and how damaged that inside child of mine really is.
I never learned anything from sesame street. even as a kid, I found it super boring. It's pushing the lef wing agenda so much. the show is crap and garbage. Nothing to cry over.
@@biancahotca3244 As a child you knew nothing about agendas unless you were already being programmed to be part of someone else's. Anthropology proves this.
*I did not learn that from Sesame Street.*
I learned that from University.
Sesame Street deserved every ounce of the award, a program that cultivated education, good manners, and social acceptance through a generation of half a century.. What a feat!
It's looks like new TV show on season start sesame street season
I was a kid who watched this show in Japan in the 70s, now I'm bawling my eyes out watching them singing "Sing". And I can proudly say that I have learned how to speak English by watching "Sesame Street".
There's a video of the Carpenters singing "Sing" in Japanese
th-cam.com/video/by_84JQM0CU/w-d-xo.html
You are not alone. I am bilingual (Tagalog and English) because of Sesame Street.
@@imjelo me too! My mom always said how I picked up most of my English from Sesame Street. I was even more fluent in it than tagalog at some point.
I actually cried, you never truly realise how important this show was as a child until you grow up and look at it from a mature aspect
I've always loved Sesame Street as a kid. I was 17, when the show introduced this new character, Julia, who has Autism. Then it felt like my heart was about to burst in joy, because my younger brother who also loved Sesame Street also has Autism. Now the show has a special place in family's heart, because they're making the world a better one for kids like my brother.
I feel you. My two cousins have autism. They're essentially my younger brothers. When they showed the clip of Julia I teared up a bit. I didn't have a Julia growing up. Now, these kids have someone that can teach them kindness and respect to all the Julia's in the world.
Thank you for Julia. Tell her and her family that they are always welcome at DragonCon. And, bring the cast of Sesame Street as well.
DANGER WOMAN
Me too
As an Aspie, I definitely thank 'Sesame Street' for spreading awareness for Autism, and Julia, is definitely the most amazing character on the street ever!! 😊
May your little brother rest in piece!
I learned how to speak English as a little boy thanks to sesame street, this show will forever hold a special place in my heart
T. Hanks that spells thanks get me every time lol
I never noticed that until I saw this!
"Thanks? Has anyone seen Thanks? LOL
& poor Big Bird almost 😅 knocks every one ☝🏻 out with his tail every-time he spins around lol 😂
Back in the 80s
Love how Tom just joins in, so funny
3:55 Tom Hanks knew exactly where this joke was going
He was brilliant
I’m crying right now watching this. I feel like i was a kid a again. How time flies so fast now i’m 36
I'm 54 and remember the opening season when Oscar was orange, not green. So many memories.
Before SS the expectation entering kindergarten was you were potty trained. Now, because of SS, you're expected to know your alphabet and numbers already.
Educational TV did that. Not the network broadcast stuff designed to sell you stuff.
Yep: It was Sesame St. & Playschool here in Australia 🇦🇺 - That was; what educated little ones ☝🏻 here in Oz… 35Yrs ol’ & I’ll never forgot those formative years growing 🆙 with these two programs…
I’m 24 and I still love singing the songs especially sing.
Same age as me, we got the show on channel 4
Mr. Rhett looked so joyful singing the Sesame Street song. Look at the faces of everyone in the audience. Why am I crying. I love Lucy Liu's gown
Forty two years old and not ashamed to say I'm crying happy tears. I didn't want this video to end.
Not sure where I'd be if it weren't for Sesame Street, Electric Company, Zoom and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Thank God for PBS and these nurturing, educational, and love giving programs. Millions of childhoods would not be the same without them.
This brought me to tears. Not tears of sadness but tears of happiness. I’m so glad to have found this video because it reminded me how much Sesame Street made me smile as a little kid and I’m so happy that I still get that same feeling as an adult now. Thanks for posting!
Welcome to my world
Same here.
Glad I’m not not the only one that cried over this video.
Me also
I remember the rubber ducky song and it nearly made me tear up.
I cried so hard while watching this! This show was my childhood 💙
Omg same SO much. The montage at the beginning when they had 'sing a song" in the background, omg it was like a punch to my gut idk how to explain it
Me too 😭😭
Mine too
This is probably the only show at the time who was inclusive of everyone!
Omg!!! I knew this was going to happen. I cried during the entire thing. Jim Henson died when I was 17.. I was so hurt. Joe Raposo the creator of those songs. I was just as hurt. My childhood💖💖💖
No matter how old I get everytime I hear "Sing, Sing a Song", I ball my eyes out. I blame it on onion ninjas, but I know it is my inner child screaming _"I am damaged! This hurts" I want a redo with hindsight!"_
*Don't we all...*
I cried when they announced Julia. I was born with autism and especially in the media we do not get mentioned as much as I like to
Who here thinks that Jim Henson and the Muppets should be honored with the Kennedy Center Honors?
I don't think they're allowed to do posthumous awards, though in some cases, a group has been awarded which includes posthumous members, so it's a possibility.
If you think Sesame Street doesn't stay with you a lifetime, watch the end again as everyone sang Sing a Song
I'm 57 I watched 1st ep in fall of 1968 Kindergarten I was 5. Thank you
Sesame Street started in 1969?
RIP JIM HENSON YOU MADE SUCH A CLASSIC KIDS TV SHOW NOT JUST FOR KIDS BUT FOR FAMILIES AS WELL!!!!!
I almost kept it together. I nearly lost it at the yellow feather in everyone’s front pocket for Caroll and a tiny tear slipped when that clip of Little Richard came up, but when the camera showed Lloyd Morrissett crying, I started blubbering.
ugh
“back in the days, i was a kid-i’m not a kid anymore, but somedays, i sit and wish i was a kid again”
oh no I cried from the very start and and now fihìnishing up a few minutes after it ended.
You would have seen Cookie Monster and other Muppet characters like Elmo wearing a yellow feather that‘s because the day before the ceremony Caroll Spinney the original performer of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch passed away the ceremony took place on December 9, 2019 and Caroll passed away on December 8, 2019
Sorry to break this to you, but the Ceremony was December 8, 2019. Same Day Caroll Spinney died. 😢
😔😔😔
🥺🥺🥺 How much they have dedicated their lives to educate all of us as children even as adults is incomprehensible
17:16 The sad part about that night. The passing of Caroll Spinney. Rest In Peace.
yeah he died hours before this was taped
@@iHeartsNostalgiaPit I heard about on "World News Tonight" with Tom Llamas.
iHeart Gaming and Whose Line no way, really?? omg... 😢💔
Now that's a tribute
@@williamdunphy352 I read that online
I really wish Jim Henson was still here, just to see the insane amount of happiness “Sesame Street” continues to bring into our world. I remember seeing him a number of times talking about his creations, and he just didn’t seem to realise how important he is.
Life and the world itself had been so toxic these past 2 decades, that we tend to go back to our days of innocence to experience real pure joy
I couldn't say it better myself
Was just thinking this on the eve of inauguration day!!! They need to rewatch some sesame street!!!
I have never cried so hard at one of these Honors I swear I love Sesame Street.
This show honestly helped me with my speech impediment, as I struggled to talk as a kid. But every day this show was on, I learned more and was able to start communicating the longer I watched this show. I will forever love Sesame Street and all the work that was put into it.
Aww man it's 2 am and I am bawling my eyes out watching this. I will forever love all things Sesame Street.
I’m right there with you Cynthia Erivo 😭😂 my favorite show as a kid... still is!!
11:58 Little Richard :( . His rubber ducky is one of my favorite memories of Sesame Street. Sad to hear of this legend's passing.
Smokey Robinson U really got a hold on me
I’m so not crying 😭 right now 😭😭😭
Nope. I'm just allergic. To my computer screen.
It's a good thing you're not allergic to what's on it.
Am I the only one who gasps whenever the puppeteers reveal themselves? The little kid in me doesn’t want the illusion to be disrupted.
Me too but the grown up me is glad that these unsung legendary heroes are finally being shown off and receiving the recognition they deserve
When I watched this last year, I about fell off my chair and so did my mom. We turned to each other in shock with the biggest wide eyes because we both know that this NEVER happens, like ever. You either see the actor on their own in an interview or something similar or just the muppet. I don’t recall ever seeing the actor WITH their muppet.
I loved it though, because these unsung heroes deserve it 🥰🥰
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 Jim Henson did it a lot with Kermit.
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh and at his funeral the actors were at the end
Don’t ever watch Avenue Q.
Thank you for an early education at the age of 5! Condolences to the performers we have lost over the years. From a 70's kid! Cant type without crying!
I’ve watched many Kennedy Center Honors; LED Zeppelin, David Letterman, Johnny Carson, just to name a few. But none have moved me as much as this one. To hear the story of the beginning of the show in 1969, till now when entertainers come and learn and teach. My favorites are the puppets that are on Sesame Street; Ernie, Bert, Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster. They are all great. Congrats to Sesame Street. 🙂❤️😉🤠
Wow..50 years..50 years of learning, singing, sharing, counting and fun. I grew up watching Sesame Street and so did my kids. I'm sitting here watching and crying because just like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Sesame Street brought me great joy as a child. Thanks mac66 for uploading this and may Sesame Street carry on for another 50 years.
i am 50 and still love Sesame Street, My mother and i loved Elmo, I bought an Elmo Puppet for my mother when she was sick, when she passed away i put Elmo beside her in her coffin to keep her company ...silly right?
not at all i think that was real sweet of you!!
that's not silly at all . that is very sweet of you
Naaahh.. Elmo is making your mother laughing and keeping her company.
Thank you
Thank you
I am 48 and every now and again I will watch this beautiful show I grew up on it like I said every now and again I just want to go back and feel that feeling. That has taught me no matter who you are or if your a boy or girl man or woman we may be different but we all share one thing. To know that we all matter. Peace to one and all. God Bless Amen
Who chopped the onions😭😭😭
Iloveyou Sesame Street!!!❤❤❤❤
My mom used to watch the arabic version when she was young, and then she watched the english version a couple of years before i was born and i watched it with her after. I still love sesame street to this day. I’m turning 18🥺❤️
Born in 1971 from Liverpool, UK, Sesame Street was a HUGE part of my childhood!! Started watching it around 73/74 until about 1981 so watching this brought a massive smile to my face 😃😃😃😃...Grover, Cookie Monster, Bert & Ernie and The Count were my faves...brought back happy memories!!
hello, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I just found your picture attractive, hope you don’t mind us chatting sometimes to get to know each other.
There's been 3 generations of my family that have grown up with this show and my son still watches it!!!
I watched Sesame Street regularly even after my daughters (3) went off to college and/or life (1980"s)
I know I wasn't the only one that cried.... Love It!
I learned my first English words by watching Sesame Street. It was practically my "babysitter." Somehow, I feel it deserves a Nobel Prize for something. 💖
Thank you Sesame Street for over 50 years, and teaching this big kid his A, B, C's
I’m 20 years years old and this made cry like growing up I lovedddd Sesame Street soooo much😭 and the fact that Joan and Lloyd are still ALIVE to see this in person and to get Honored made me sad also❤️
Not gonna lie. This one made me bawl. Sesame Street has such a pure love. It's beautiful.
Thank goodness for TH-cam! Takes me to a better place in times like these.
Everyone loves this show and how could you not, what's not to love. So sweet, so deserving of the honor. Thank God for the entire creative team who brought the show to an audience. Forever in our hearts. 💜
Countless generations Sesame Street entertained. I’ve had great memories watchingSesame Street. My children did as well, I’m glad Sesame Street got recognition it truly deserves. Thank you children’s television workshop.
This had me in tears and I’m at school. I love (and still do) Sesame Street. So much imagination and silly songs that brighten my day. Rest in peace Caroll Spinney.
Sesame street introduced me to English language on my early age. I never took English course cause its too expensive for my father at that time 80-90s... English language had open the world for me. I got a lot of opportunity in jobs and career by having English as a skill in todays life.. thank you sesame street
Born in the 70s & growing up in the 80s #SesameStreet became a part of my daily education in the English language. I still know its theme song...by heart. 💙
Much love to all my fellow Sesame Street fans ❤ I knew I couldn't be the only one that cried at this. I wish I'd seen it when it aired, but I'm happy to see it now. RIP to Carol Spinney, Bob McGrath, and Emilio Delgado
Gawd, im lucky i grew up in an era where i woke up everyday to learn from Sesame Street. Thank you ❤❤❤
Today's generation is being ruined because pbs kids isn't like this anymore
I'm already 62 years old now and I actually grow with this amazing children's show. This special show brought tears to my eyes. I notice MISS PEGGY is no longer in the show., JIM HENSON brought legacy to the SESAME STREET.
My childhood! I am 49 now. I had so much fun watching them. My children are now in their 20's and Sesame Street was also part of their childhood.
I have been watching this video every day, since the first time I found it on youtube ... And each time I watch it, it brings tears to my eyes! Such good memories! :)
How come I found this only now?! This is so wonderful. Bravo!
Though I didn’t watch a lot of Sesame Street as a preschooler, I did however watch my Elmo tapes over and over again, so just hearing him laugh is enough to bring tears of happiness to my eyes even at 23!! Also happy belated birthday Jim Henson!
I grew up on Sesame Street!
Thank you PBS and Jim Hanson for all of the life lessons that were taught!
I owe Sesame Street everything
This made me bawl. Seeing the performers walk out sent me over. Such a beautiful legacy ❤️
Just watching it brought back so many sweet memories.... the place where all worries fade away and the joy of learning reigned
Lucy's dress is GORGEOUS on her! Thanks for the whole video, beautiful songs and tribute
Just sing a song. Simple and yet brings out many memories. Thank you for all the amazing lessons Sesame Street.
There's no street like Sesame Street, THANK YOU SS for taking the 🌎 on an incredible journey educating our children and giving them a lifetime of wonderful me memories. Is that a tear running down my cheek? CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FAMILY ON SESAME STREET!!!!!!
Nostalgic! Brings back such beautiful memories!
Bring a lot of memories....I was learn so much from this show...it's the most greatest show for children or even adult ever....👍👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘 love all the characters...
here i am belting out the theme song at age 22... love this show and rip mr spinney you will always be big bird and oscar to me!
Why am I crying watching this? Aahh... the good 'ol memories of the times when I was a kid 33 years ago. Sesame Street forever all over the whole wide world 🌍🗺!👑💖🌟
What great honor to such a great show that I think will run forever. Sesame street I feel will be the longest ever running TV show in the world. I hope it never ends. If it does I think there will be a huge push against the network for ending the show. Jim Henson is missed
Literally crying thru the whole thing . Such memories of me watching Sesame Street, my kids and my grandson . Brought so many generations together on one st
This video alone made me cry two different times....I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be there with these wonderful people on the flesh.
Love you Sesame Street!!! Made childhood amazing......tears streaming down my face. ❤
Sesame Street. A show that, even now as an adult, I look at as a show that taught (and still teaches) children so much. Moreover, if we all, especially adults, took heart of the simple lessons of inclusion, caring, sharing and love that this wonderful show taught, the world would be a much better place.
These lessons being regardless of race, religion or economic background. Something of which to be proud.
I also cried at the extra song, "My Street" because, sometimes, in hindsight, to go back to simpler times seems to make so much sense. My favourites were (and still are) Elmo, Cookie, Grover and, for all those 90s kids and older, Snuffleluffagus.
Wow, I am moved beyond belief....awesome tribute!!!
This was beautiful....omg i cried so much!! 😭😭❤❤
This made me smile so much!!! Like ear to ear smile!
That was beautiful 😍
Still cant watch this without crying...
I am 51 and have been with these friends every since. Love them so and crying like a baby. Who says there is not good TV on today
Cookie monster and Oscar the grouch are my favorites 😍
I remember watching sesame Street as a kid love the show thnx for a wonderful childhood
Thank you for doing this. We all really appreciate it.
This was my childhood. And when playhouse Disney started to air Rover's show and Elmo's world my vocabulary and imagination grew. Thank you!
OMG SESAME STREET IS MY CHILDHOOD WHEN I GREW UP WATCHING
Wish each of us could transfer all that we learned, knew and loved about Sesame Street to our adult selves. What a wonderful world it would be.
Wow, I loved and learned so much from this show during my childhood that I skipped preschool and went straight to kindergarten. I was ahead and at the top of my class.
This is definitely the best educational program of all time
This was amazing ❤️❤️❤️
It's just me or this made me cry bringing back memories of me as a Child? Man I Love Sesame Street💕
Very nostalgic! Sesame Street was part of my childhood days. To see them again is so great. Love them a lot. Well, to realize that I'm getting older now.. Haha
