  • In Episode 2756 of Sesame Street, Gordon attempts to get Oscar and Grundgetta to drive him to the New York Knicks game against the Philadelphia 76ers.[note 1] Unfortunately the Grouches drive him the wrong way, take a longer route, stop at a Grouch Drive-in, and are forced to pay a Grouch toll twice. Ultimately, The Sloppy Jalopy breaks down and Gordon misses the game, but meets Marv Albert, who gives him a play-by-play and a ride home.

Notes

  • Cheryl Henson designed the costume for the Charlotte Hornet's mascot, Hugo the Hornet, in 1988.
