Pre-Cookie Monster

Posted by Michael Pinto on Nov 30, 2006 in Animation |


How Cookie Monster got his start:

“In 1967, Henson used the “Wheel-Stealer” puppet for an IBM training film called “The Coffee Break Machine.” In the sketch, the monster (with pointed fangs) devoured a complex machine as the machine described its purpose and construction. His greed gets the better of him, however, as the machine’s recording continues (within his stomach), announcing that it is wired to self-destruct. The monster promptly explodes. This sketch was also performed in October 1967 on The Ed Sullivan Show.”
