Elmo and Leela Talk About the New Season of 'Sesame Street'
Elmo and new Sesame Street neighbor Leela are promoting Season 39 of Sesame Street.
Leela, played by Nitya Vidyasagar, is the first Indian-American to join the long-running, award-winning show. This character owns the local laundromat. And with this ground-breaking character, Sesame Street will also incorporate elements of the Indian culture into their program.
Vidyasagar said that the new season of Sesame Street will also "focus on math literacy."
Viewers can expect Brian Williams, Neil Patrick Harris and Mike Rowe to visit the folks on Sesame Street during this season. Feist will also sing "1, 2, 3, 4" with the help of the muppets.
