Episode 2957

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Hoots welcomes the viewer from the roof of 123 Sesame Street at nighttime. Telly and Maria arrive, as Telly wants to meet a magical being known as "Radish Dude" while he's sleeping over at Maria's tonight. He explains what he's talking about based on his copy of Izzy Monster and the Radish Dude: the title character waits on the roof at night when Radish Dude appears. He gives Izzy a radish, which grants his wish for a pony. Telly hopes Radish Dude will give him his wish of being able to whistle, but realizes he's forgotten some things he needs. Maria leaves to put Gabi to bed while Hoots agrees to keep an eye on Telly.
