Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Monty introduces Inside Sesame Street, the news program that brings you "the stories behind the stories." He teases some of the stories they'll be breaking today and throws it to the theme song...
 	SCENE 1 	Monty introduces the story of Little Jack Horner, who has recently given up eating with his thumb. At Hooper's Store, Katie Couric (subbing for a vacationing Prairie Dawn) interviews Horner, who has tried using other parts of his body to eat his pie with less-than-satisfactory results: he stuck in his hair and pulled out a pear, then stuck in his snout and pulled out a trout, etc. He vows to make a comeback, however, then sticks his thumb in the pie and accidentally flings a plum into Katie's eye. Coming up next: Is Oscar about to play a happy, non-grouchy game?

 	SCENE 2 	Monty throws the show to Prairie Dawn, back from vacation. She tries to interview Oscar at his trash can on his latest, seemingly fun activity, but he refuses to answer any questions. She interviews Gina instead, who also doesn't know what's going on. Oscar calls Ashley and Joey over to play a round of "Three of These Things" with bowls of broccoli, meatballs, mashed potatoes, and ice cream. The ice cream doesn't belong according to the kids, since it's a dessert. Oscar reveals the Grouch answer - they all belong, since they're all ingredients of a Grouch ice cream sundae. The smell of the concoction causes Prairie to pass out and Gina concludes the report.

Before he can, she first goes on a rant about her poor treatment thus far on the show: "I am a JOURNALIST and a news personality, and I am angry about the direction my career has taken!" Monty's question turns out to be on the condition of her microphone following her collision with Jack. Since his mic is functional, she goes back to the studio while he does the field reporting.
