A few people that I know remarked on Corden's resemblance to Richter right
after the former got The Late Show, but it soon became an afterthought.
Always liked Richter and mused on how he might feel when a guy who
resembled him became a late-night host while he remained a sidekick.

Last fall, PBS quietly unveiled a half-hour edition of Sesame Street that
aired hand-in-hand with the original 60-minute version. The
30-minute edition was essentially a condensed version of the original, with
most of the show's second half (primarily all Elmo, all the time) removed.

as a 48-year old man, that grew up with Sesame Street (english-spanish
edition on PBS, and english-french edition on CBC), I can say that the
1-hour often had some stuff that I never cared for.But I like to think
that trained me for watching SNL. I'm serious.

Some of those YouTube videos are full-length episodes - but with slight

There is an HBO Family channel, which limits movie/original programming to
TV14/PG13-level (roughly 12A equivalent) films. That may be where Sesame
Street is specifically headed.

They have a channel HBO Family which has a bunch of original programming
plus family movies. Most of the original programming was produced quite
some time ago though. I would suspect that Sesame Street would mostly run
on this channel.
