Elmo won’t be getting unemployment benefits just yet.
Following President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order reducing funding for PBS and NPR, speculation arose about the potential impact on “Sesame Street.” A widely-shared post on LinkedIn suggested that Elmo had lost his job. However, this was merely a joke from a parody account; Sesame Workshop clarified to Deadline on May 8th that it was not true.
Regrettably, due to federal budget reductions, Elmo has been let go from his position at Sesame Street after a long tenure of 45 years. Elmo is disheartened by this turn of events and cherishes the memories he made at Sesame Street.
The sham Elmo conveyed that he will deeply miss his buddies Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert, Abby, Grover, and Count as they greatly enhanced his days.
The counterfeit Elmo shared that he’ll really feel the absence of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert, Abby, Grover, and Count since they always made his day special.
Just as an unemployed individual might showcase their abilities on a networking platform, the message emphasized Elmo’s unique set of skills, including identifying the letter ‘E’, spelling his name, demonstrating empathy, singing ‘Elmo’s Song’, and asking about one’s well-being.
The post also urged users to reach out to their “local congressperson to save Public Media.”
TopMob News has reached out to Sesame Workshop for comment and has not yet heard back.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that Sesame Workshop and PBS are united in our dedication to harnessing the potential of national television for delivering essential early learning experiences to young children everywhere.
Over the past 50 years, we have taken great pride in collaborating with them to deliver the cherished figures from Sesame Street and an educational curriculum backed by research to families across the country. Our commitment remains unwavering to the essential funding that enables PBS to carry on this crucial endeavor.
In the reductions made to the organization supporting Public Broadcasting (NPR and PBS), there was an end to a federal funding scheme that disbursed approximately $23 million annually for educational children’s television programs and interactive games.
In a statement released on May 6th, CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison noted that for nearly every parent, their children have grown up watching educational content on public broadcasting. For the past three decades, PBS KIDS programs funded by Ready To Learn have demonstrated tangible, real-world effects on children’s learning abilities.
The message goes on to say, “For the past three decades, Ready To Learn has garnered significant backing from both political parties in Congress due to its demonstrated effectiveness in fostering essential early education abilities among all young learners.
Representing the Trump administration, the Department of Education’s spokesperson, Madi Biedermann, informed The New York Times that they would refrain from financing “ideologies that create division and propagate progressive, socially-conscious views.
