Sesamgade Sesamgade ( " Sesam Street ) " is a Danish co - production of " Sesame Street " that premiered on TV2 / Denmark on October 18 , 2009 . The show is part of " Bavian " , a larger weekend block for 4 to 6 year - olds . The show ' s main story , revolving around Elmo and Signe , surrounds dubbed episodes of " Leg med os fra Sesamgade " ( " Play with Me Sesame " ) , " Elmo ' s Verden " ( " Elmo ' s World " ) , and newly produced Abby Cadabby segments . Background . Denmark aired a dubbed version of " Sesame Street " called " Sesam , luk dig op " in 1992 and 1993 . In the late 90s , a Danish version of " Elmo ' s World " aired called " Elmers Verden " . Kevin Clash came to Denmark in the first week of June 2009 to audition puppeteers to play Elmo . TV2 / Denmark had sent tapes to Kevin Clash with 20 - 25 puppeteers , from which he narrowed down to the few who auditioned for him in Denmark . Kevin Clash also had a hand in the audition for the female co - host , to make sure that Elmo and the co - host had the right chemistry together on screen . The process of naming the show has been quite complicated ; some of the names considered include " Sesam Klubben " , " Sesam , luk dig op " and " Sesam Gade " . The final spelling of the name is based on how street names in Denmark are normally named , so it ended up as " Sesamgade " instead of " Sesam Gade " . However , it was also decided that the title should always be written in capital letters . On October 13 , 2009 , TV2 showed two episodes to an audience of 400 children at the Metropol cinema in Copenhagen . The reactions from the children were positive . Signe and Elmo also made an appearance . In previous Danish dubs of the show , the " Sesame " characters were given local names - - Elmo became Elmer , Ernie was Erik , and Bert was Bent . " Sesamgade " retains the original American names , and " Elmer ' s Verden " has been redubbed as " Elmo ' s Verden " . Executive producer Preben Vridstoft said that there are several reasons behind keeping the original English names for the show : there ' s already an Elmer in the world of children ' s television ( Elmer Fudd ) , Elmo is a cute name , the names Erik and Bent seem old - fashioned compared with Ernie and Bert , and finally , Danish children today are used to weird foreign names from shows like " Pokémon " . The production will also be a test , to see if there ' s a market in Denmark for a a more extensive co - production , along the lines of the Norwegian " Sesam Stasjon " or the German " Sesamstrasse " .
