Coming Attractions: Look who's coming to Sesame Street!

 Sesame Street has had a bazillion guest stars in its 53 seasons on the air. The latest get is getting acquainted with different forms of pop culture. "The League of Super-Pets" is due soon on HBO Max, and that might be part of the motivation behind its star's pending visit to the most famous fictional street in America.

Yeah, this guy:


Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be heading to Sesame Street to meet Cookie Monster and Elmo, as well as promoting "League" and Young Rock, one would imagine. Oh, and there's that "Black Adam" movie coming down the line. 

Anyway, this has to do with a 2004 skit that recently went viral in which Elmo questioned how a pet rock (Rocco) could eat a cookie, which caused issues between Elmo and Zoe.

This led to a back & forth on Twitter between Cookie Monster and Johnson, setting up the People's Movie Star for his first ever appearance on the show, which currently has 1st run episodes on HBO, repurposed on PBS/PBS Kids. I'm guessing the episode will be taped closer to the release of "Black Adam".

Considering Johnson's previous vocation with WWE, he's used to colorful characters.......
