Katy Perry had taped a segment for Sesame Street with Elmo. Due to negative feedback after the video was posted on the Internet, Sesame Street's producers decided not to air it.
A Sesame Street spokesperson issued this statement:
"Sesame Street has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. Sesame Street has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube."
Here's the video:
With Katy Perry being the musical guest on last night's premiere of Saturday Night Live, she appeared on the "Bronx Beat" sketch, the controversy providing fodder.
