I will never be an Abby Cadabby fan, but... I can't even be mad at her here. Look at Ernie! Telly! Where's Burt?!?

Her ruffled jumpsuit is also super cute and cheerful. Perfect.
Lucy Liu

I love that in this photo, it looks like Telly's hand is either over his heart, or on the other Muppet's shoulder. And Grover's cape is dashing.

Lucy's sparkly dress is a delight, also.

He looks handsome as ever, in an interesting suit. And HAPPY, of course, because: Sesame Street.
Martha Stewart

Maybe Grover was afraid of Martha. I mean, she WOULD have no patience for his skills as a waiter.
Diane Sawyer

I can only assume Diane was trying to imitate Telly's expression.
Christian Slater

And who would be the Veronica, and who would be the Heather Chandler? Heather Duke? Heather Other One?
John Oliver

John attends this every year, I think -- maybe he hosts it -- and he never seems anything less than 110 percent thrilled to be there.
