Amy Poehler Elmo “Sesame Street” Playdate [VIDEO]

Today’s program is brought to you by the words “Damage” and “Control!”

After Katy Perry’s chestacular Sesame Street cameo ended up on the Cutting Room floor last week, Elmo has been forced to adopt a new midday playmate in Parks & Rec star Amy Poehler. The fully-clothed funnygal swung by Public Television’s oldest neighborhood this week for the show’s 41st season premiere, and to give Everyone’s Favorite pint-sized puppet a supersized lesson in the definition of the word “challenge.”

This is just cute enough to quiet a few dozen pissed-off parents.
