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 just LOVED watching the first episode of the newly launched “Mi Vida Con Toty” show on the new You Tube channel NuevOn. “Toty” is the apodo, or nickname, to which Sofia Vergara answers to when called by her closest family and friends. The star of this show is Manolo, Sofías son, who takes us into a hilarious glimpse into his life as the son of a Latina celebrity in Hollywood.

The first episode, “Menos Hollywood, Más Barranquilla/Less Hollywood, More Barranquilla” feels so real and heartwarming as Manolo histerically shares how Sofía is portrayed when in her Hollywood persona, versus the “real” girl from Barranquilla, Colombia. Manolo seamlessly goes from Spanish to English, from Barranquilla to Hollywood. A true testament to the amazing job Sofía and his dad (who we meet in the video!) did at raising a confident bilingual and bicultural child.

Check it out. You will love it for sure!

Or how about this one where they confront head on the questions about Sofía´s accent?

I´m also told that you can leave questions for Manolo on his NuevON show´s comment section and he will be responding them in both English, Spanish and, of course, Spanglish!

NuevON launched today and will offer bilingual content aimed at the Latino youth market and featuring celebrities such as Wilmer Valderrama, Sofía Vergara, Felipe Viel and Alejandro Chabán. Check out the full lineup and subscribe here.
