Katy Perry: Sesame to Simpsons



The people behind Sesame Street may be cold to Katy Perry's innocuous performance at Sesame Street, but another show welcomes her with open arms. Just as in her prior act, she will get to sing with a puppet, but not with just any group of puppets. It would be with the puppet versions of the characters from Simpsons. From the gist of it, it seems like her role in the new show is like a satirical parody of the Sesame Street blunder where she sang Hot & Cold with the well-known red muppet. Al Jean, the current producer of the Simpsons, says all of the people in Simpsons support Katy Perry, unlike the back-stabbing muppets where she was once friends with.

In the new simpsons episode, which has yet to be released, Katy Perry will sing "The Thirty-Nine Days of Christmas" and, in an apparent mockery of Sesame Street's Elmo, Katy Perry will the girlfriend of Moe (Elmo and Moe, get it?) Though Katy Perry's act in the Simpsons show was done earlier than her Sesame Street gig, it seems to be too much of a coincidence that the new Simpson's show involves puppets and singing. Maybe Katy Perry knew in advance that Sesame Street segment featuring her would get rejected as being too racy.
