It should come as no great surprise that I am a sucker for anything Muppet related. Anyway, I ran across this NPR interview of Cookie Monster (it even includes the Proust Questionnaire). What’s more, they have short interview with Cheryl Henson where she reveals that there is actually a giant hole in Cookie Monster’s mouth for the cookies to go down (or at least what’s left as he devours them). Who knew?
