[edit] Of the Day
[edit] Letter
The Letter of the Day is a classic segment on Sesame Street that was introduced in 2002. In 2002 and 2003, Cookie Monster was by himself with many brief cameos throughout the season.
In 2004, Prairie Dawn joined in the segment. Most segments end with a sigh from Prairie Dawn and an apology from Cookie Monster.
In 2007, these sketches became less common.
The original segments from 2002 all involved the letter written in icing on a cookie, which Cookie Monster constantly tried not to eat, but in the end he gave in and ate the cookie. Special guests, like Grover, Cookie Monster's mother, etc. have appeared on the segment. In 2004, the letter presented was just a foam letter which Cookie Monster often wanted to eat. Prairie Dawn tried to stop Cookie from eating the letter, but Cookie Monster always managed to find a way to eat it anyway. Segments produced in 2005 involved The Letter of the Day Games, a game show introduced by a very energetic off-camera announcer (voiced by Matt Vogel).
[edit] Number
The Number of the Day is a segment on Sesame Street when Count von Count introduces the number of the day. The Number of the Day can be anywhere from zero to twenty. The Count usually plays his pipe organ, with each pipe singing out a number in order, starting at one. When he reaches the number of the day, balloons and confetti appear and the number appears. (on the occasions, if the number of the day is zero, the organ disappears in a puff of smoke.)
Later in 2005 and 2006, the number of the day was revealed at a restaurant, with the Count and his girlfriend Countess Dahling von Dahling present. The Count sings a song, asking whether the number of the day will be one, two, etc. When he reaches the number of the day, the Countess will shout "Stop!" Also in 2005 and 2006, the number of the day was found by using a jack-in-the-box.
In 2006 kids were doing outside activities. At the end the number of the day was found.
[edit] Spanish
The Spanish Word of the Day was first seen in 2002 and was a segment till 2006. It was repeated across the episodes. The first format was the word above the character. Then later they used another way, there are two lines and the word wasn't above the character.
[edit] Word
Word of the Day first appeared in Sesame Street in 2007. The segment highlights a particular word introduced before the show with What's the Word on the Street? which you hear each episode. Celebrities present the words.

[edit] Moments at the Sink
It was a sketch beginning in the late 1990s where kids do something that's healthy.
[edit] Hero Guy
Hero Guy was a sketch 2001-2002. In 2004 it replaced Global Grover but just in some episodes. In 2004 it wasn't seen to make room for other new segments. Later in 2005 it appeared in two episodes and two years later in 2007 the sketch was back for two episodes just for now.
A brief clip of Hero Guy can still be seen in Sesame Street's 2002 opening sequence. Two segments were released on home video as an extra for Elmo's World: Wild Wild West! and in Elmo Visits the Firehouse.
[edit] Journey to Ernie
Journey to Ernie was a segment on the PBS show Sesame Street. In this game, Big Bird had to find Ernie in a box with Ernie's striped shirt and his rubber duckie on it. In 2003, The Journey to Ernie segment changed, and now Big Bird has to look for clues and find Ernie some place that is hinted at in the beginning.
Occasionally there are unexpected surprises, like when during a shape hideout Telly Monster is hiding in the triangle or when one day Bert decides to hide instead of Ernie and when Ernie wants Big Bird to hide so he could seek.
In the Journey to Ernie segments, Matt Vogel performs Big Bird, Steve Whitmire performs Ernie and Joey Mazzarino and David Rudman perform the Two-Headed Monster. Rudman also is the voice of the announcer who interrupts Big Bird's various escapades before the game begins.
When the journey is over and Big Bird finally discovers Ernie, they sing.
[edit] Monster Clubhouse
Monster Clubhouse is a recurring Sesame Street segment featuring energetic young monster friends Mooba, Mel, Narf and Groogel. For 2002, Mooba was renamed Googel and Groogel was renamed Phoebe.
These sketches were shown during 2001 and 2002, and were dropped by 2003. In 2002 and later the segments were shortened considerably, and the monsters would only do three or four of the activities.
A brief clip of Monster Clubhouse can still be seen in Sesame Street's 2002-2006 opening sequence. Two segments were released on home video as an extra for Elmo's World: Wild Wild West! and in Elmo Visits the Firehouse.
