Cookie Monster appears on episode 518 of The Muppet Show, and there's a gag about how he and guest Marty Feldman both have googly eyes. And as it turns out, there are actually quite a few benefits to reading aloud to kids. For one thing, it can help them to develop a love of reading. When kids are exposed to stories being read aloud, they’re more likely to become interested in reading themselves. This Sesame Street Matching game is a great activity for young kids to work on visual memory and matching! Light, Paul Charles (1999). The President's Agenda (3rded.). JHU Press. pp. 235. ISBN 0-8018-6066-0. Over the years, Cookie Monster has been featured in several regular segments. With Sesame Street's format change in 2002, Cookie hosted the " Letter of the Day" segments. In each episode, he is presented with a cookie, upon which is written the letter of the day, in icing. Despite his best intentions, and various implausible schemes, he always succumbs to temptation. Later segments feature Prairie Dawn trying to restrain Cookie's urges to devour the letter of the day, presented instead as actual foam letters.

Position Cookie’s face to the top flap of the brown paper bag and glue in place. Next, grab his eyes and glue them to the top of his face. Place them so that the eyes are half off the face. John Lennon's song " Hold On", recorded in 1970 (only a year after Sesame Street debuted), features Lennon shouting "Cookie!" in Cookie Monster's voice, in the middle of the instrumental break in an otherwise calm, quiet song. Ringo Starr, aware of Lennon's love for Cookie Monster, also screams "Cookie!" in Cookie Monster's voice in his song " Early 1970", released in 1971. In the 1995 video Cookie Monster's Best Bites, it is revealed that the letter C is "the favorite letter of all Cookie Monsters everywhere." However, in a 1976 episode, he claims to be the last Cookie Monster left in the world.In the Sesame Street parody Avenue Q, the character of Trekkie Monster is loosely based on Cookie Monster, sharing his speech pattern and addictive personality. On February 10, 2008, NPR host Elizabeth Blair interviewed Cookie Monster for the All Things Considered segment In Character. He answered the Proust Questionnaire, as well as revealing some of his favorite and non-favorite things. [9] [12]

Later, in 1967, Henson used the "Wheel-Stealer" (later Cookie Monster) puppet for an IBM training film called Coffee Break Machine. The sketch is called "The Computer Dinner", the monster devours a complex coffee making the machine as it describes its different parts. When he is finished, the machine announces the monster has activated the machine's anti-vandalism system, which contains the most powerful explosives known to people. The monster promptly explodes. This sketch was also performed a few times later, for example in October 1967 on The Ed Sullivan Show. In response to the Facebook campaign to get the character to host SNL, Cookie was the guest in the monologue with Jeff Bridges. During the monologue, the two sang " Silver Bells."
