See if you can detect a game show reference in this sketch.

Thank you for linking to that.  I remember that from when it first aired.  The reference was a nice throwaway line that came out of nowhere.

I don't see the GS reference, but it's still one of the better sketches in Sesame Street history.

Here's a small hint - when that green guy comes along and Ernie and CM are trying to identify him - listen to one of the suggestions that CM makes.

OK.....At the 2:55 mark, listen very closely to what Cookie Monster says - he utters a well-known (presumably at the time) game show host's name.

I had to play that part back about four times this morning but I finally figured out what Cookie Monster said.  It's someone I never confused for Sherlock Hemlock, that's for sure.

Maybe it's because I specifically listened for it, but I got it immediately.

Yeah, I *really* had to pay attention the first time through and listen as closely as possible to see if I got it.

Matt, GREAT find!

Okay, for someone who doesn't want to sit through a three-minute clip, will someone just TELL US what the reference is?

Still took me two times..but I got it now. :)

Maybe I shoulda grown up watching Square One instead.

Not really related, but does anyone know where I could find a clip of the "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12" bit they did, that ended with that cool looking swirling machine?

Yup. :)

At that 2:55 mark, in trying to figure out who the green-colored guy is, Cookie says "maybe Allen Ludden".

YouTube, I believe, has that too. (That and those awesome "baker" skits with the numbers flying toward the screen.)
