Somebody has eaten Cookie Monster's pie, so he calls Beignet Blanc, who speaks in a Southern drawl and has blonde hair like Craig's character in the Knives Out series. The Hollywood Reporter confirms Sesame Street performer Mike Vogel voicing the impression.
Beignet rules out Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch. Grover even names Knives Out creator Rian Johnson as a suspect. Elmo and Zoe gasp at Beignet's revelations.
Sesame Street announced its move to Netflix in May following its years on HBO Max.
The latest live-action film, Wake Up Dead Man, is in theaters now ahead of a Dec. 12 Netflix premiere. UPI praised Wake Up Dead Man in its review for playing up the faith vs. logic theme and crafting an effective twist.
