‘W-ORD Channel 7 News’, A Word-Themed News Broadcast Hosted by John Oliver and Cookie Monster

“W-ORD Channel 7 News” is a parody of a news broadcast hosted by John Oliver and Cookie Monster. It was co-produced by Sesame Workshop and Mashable to help promote Sesame Street’s new “Words are Here, There and Everywhere” initiative to help improve children’s vocabularies. The video also features Kate McKinnon, Nick Offerman, and Al Roker.

In support of “Sesame Street’s” newest vocabulary resource, “Words are Here, There and Everywhere,” Mashable has teamed up with Sesame Workshop once again to encourage families to explore the wonderful world of words. Watch the special W-ORD report above, in which John Oliver and Cookie Monster (and a few surprise guests) tackle the hard-hitting word news you need to know.
