Big Bird has hit the streets once again, but he left Billy Eichner to go scream at pedestrians by himself. This time, our favorite 8-foot bird-child from Sesame Street is following his original puppeteer, Caroll Spinney, just as he’s having his very own Birdman moment.
Once again, Sesame Street proves that it’s completely in tune with the cultural zeitgeist, even when it doesn’t involve its target audience. You have to admire a show that knows the parents are watching, too.
