Katy Perry Too Revealing For Sesame Street
2010
Katy Perry's appearance on Sesame Street is edited out after viewers complain about her dress.
In the segment, Perry has beef with Elmo when he refuses to play dress-up with her. She sings her hit "Hot n Cold" to express her feelings:
You don't really want to play, no
You just really want to go
Perry chases the capricious monster, only to realize that Elmo has been playing all along: playing tag.
After the bit is posted on YouTube, some viewers object to Perry's dress, which shows a bit of boob. Sesame Street responds to the outcry by pulling the segment from the scheduled broadcast, making the case that it was really meant for adults, and they can watch it on YouTube. "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," they say in a statement. "We have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers."
Perry later pokes fun at the incident, appearing on Saturday Night Live in a revealing Elmo T-shirt.
