Today marks the 40th anniversary of the premiere of Sesame Street.

Growing up watching Sesame Street my favorite characters were Bert and Ernie.  They were a classic comedy team.  As a child I use to laugh at their characters idiosyncrasies. The Ernie laugh or the Bert brow furrow would leave me in stitches.  Now as an adult and a performer I marvel at their simple well executed characters and comedy.  I do not think it is any surprise that they are a major influence in the comedy of Miller and Mike.

To celebrate this day I might just make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; pour myself a tall glass of milk; and watch some Sesame Street.
