Kevin Clash resigned? How did I miss this yesterday? It is too tacky to make jokes about him, Elmo or pedophilia. I'll say this though...
What the hell is going to happen with Elmo? The people at Sesame Street are too smart to not have a line of succession already established. The minute the first person got shot for a Tickle Me Elmo they had five people auditioning to replace Kevin Clash one day. My question is will it work. Elmo is a god, Elmo's World is his televangelism and Sesame Place is the Vatican. Whoever takes that job better come correct. The first missed inflection or first-person slip up (Elmo never says "I") and heads are going to roll. I bought a Sesame Street book that came with an audio CD that was not voiced by Clash. My daughter looked at me like "Who the hell is this?" That thing is in a landfill now. I can see an army of toddlers descending on Sesame Place in Pennsylvania. That place is gonna look like Iraq in '03 with statues of Elmo toppling over.
I don't know what's going to happen, but if they're smart they'll just keep running the same reruns of Elmo's World like they've been doing.
