Matt Lauer helps ‘Sesame Street’ viewers discover newspapers (Thanks, Matt!)

Further proof that “Sesame Street” is as much for adults as it is for kids, Matt Lauer is part of a star-studded campaign to teach young viewers new words with the show’s new “Word on the Street” segment.
Lauer says the word “newspaper” in a celebritastic promo (click on the first video). To return the favor to the man who spent most of his childhood years in Chappaqua, Ardsley and Hartsdale, I will say the word “morning show” in this post. Wait, that’s two words. You owe us a “Suburbarazzi,” Lauer!
A fellow “Word on the Street” celeb with LoHud connections is former Yorktown resident Al Roker, who unravels his wallet photos for the word “family.” Aww.
Among the other stars in the promo are Sarah Jessica Parker, Howie Mandel, Tyra Banks, Anderson Cooper, Rachael Ray, Chad Pennington, Ellen DeGeneres, James Blunt (really?), Chris Brown and Conan O’Brien.
Actually, I’ve named all of the stars in the promo except one I can’t identify: the blondish woman in the coral long-sleeve and purple floral blouse who explains that that day’s word is “WINDY!” Who is she, loyal readers?
Appearing on the Monday premiere for the show’s 38th(!) season will be Brown, NBC News anchor Brian Williams and—my personal favorite of all these celebs—Tina Fey, according to Gothamist.
