Why is Rachael Ray on Sesame Street?

I haven’t seen Sesame Street in decades, but I spent last night with two of my nieces, and they watch the Street every morning. I looked up from a NYT blog post about Terry Eagleton’s new book to see Rachael Ray cavorting with a muppet tomato. Why? I have nothing against the woman (unless you count my disdain for people who name magazines after themselves and put their own face on the cover of every issue), but does she really have to be that ubiquitous?

  • I also find her to be very annoying. If I hear “Yummo!” one more time I will scream.

  • I am guessing you must have seen this episode while you were at my house since it’s the one that fits the profile of 2 girls, Sesame Street every morning. Sorry you were so traumatized! Hopefully some of the other experiences made up for it.
