Hey, did you hear there was an election yesterday? It was kind of a big deal, you know, presidents and what not. With Obama being reelected, people were pretty quick to start poking fun of the losers, as well as the ultra-conservatives who said they'd be moving abroad.

Sporting a sweet pompadour and garish cape, Jason Schwartzman spoofs the cooking show ‘Iron Chef’ in a ‘Sesame Street’ episode which will air on Friday.

It’s anti-bullying week at ‘Sesame Street‘ and everyone’s favorite Muppets are speaking to the importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect.
