Merry Christmas, listeners! Join Joe and Todd as they talk about Big Bird in the 1978 tv special Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. They discuss the magic of Jim Henson's creativity and Caroll Spinney's amazing performance in the giant yellow feathered suit. Topics include Big Bird's innocence (and his amazing ability to learn to ice skate), Oscar the Grouch's surprising edginess, Bert and Ernie's top-notch acting, and to top it all off: the true meaning of Christmas.
