Season 43 of Sesame Street premieres on Monday, September 24th on PBS Kids and we were excited to see that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an inspiration to all women and Latinas, will be making her second appearance on the show. This time around, she’s on the “Word on the Street” segment talking about the word “Career,” perfectly suited for the beloved “Wise Latina.”
The new season will feature an exciting segment, “Elmo: The Musical!”, a new S-T-E-A-M curriculum, and visits from guests including Halle Berry, Don Cheadle, Amy Ryan, Casey Affleck, Melissa McCarthy, Steve Carell, Jon Hamm, Eric Stonestreet, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Hyde Pierce, Timothy Olyphant, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, Blake Griffin, Matt Kemp, Zac Efron, Ed Helms, Kristen Bell, Paula Patton, Mario Lopez, Wendy Williams, Colbie Caillat, rock band Train, Common, and more.
As soon as I read the press release, my thoughts wandered to recollecting all the Latinos who have made a celebrity VIP appearance on Sesame Street throughout its last 42 seasons. The list I compiled is truly amazing and I share it with you below and for easy reference as a list of Latinos on Sesame Street on our You Tube channel (which, by the way, you should be subscribed for fun videos that celebrate our cultura and el español!!) Scroll through these videos with your child and let’s celebrate Latinos on Sesame Street!

I admire Sonia Sotomayor so much and I love that she can act with Elmo! que maravilla ~ y bueno de Gustavo Dudamel que te puedo decir! Chamo de calidad, you must see him in concert, he is such an inspiration!
I actually went to Dudamel’s welcome concert at the Hollywood Bowl. He blew me away!! Love that Sesame Street recognizes so much talent.
Great job, except Joe Torre is not Latino, he’s Italian.
Que chevere! I especially love the Tito Puente clip!! Pues….and what is there NOT to love about Juanes!
Gracias!
I loved the previous Sotomayor segment, can’t wait to see her again on the Street. This is an awesome compilation! Thanks for putting it together. Gonna have to share this …
