Unproduced 2000s Sesame Street segments

Segments proposed and/or full scripted for Sesame Street during the 2000s, but ultimately never shot.
==Season 31==
*"Grover Bridge: What Comes Next": A part of the series of interstitial segments featuring Grover debuting that season. In a scripted piece, Grover enters the frame, but very far from the camera. He runs the great distance to reveal what's coming next, but first rushes back to retrieve his "what-comes-next hat," then the card with the information, then back once more when he realizes he's got the wrong card. Thoroughly exhausted, Grover reaches the camera and states that what's coming next is simply "this," then faints as another insert transitions into view.Tony Geiss papers at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University
==Season 34==
*"Diane Sawyer Interviews Dorothy": Elmo has called Sawyer to do a unique interview with his goldfish, Dorothy. Although unconventional, Sawyer goes along with it when she learns nobody has done it before (not even Barbara Walters or Connie Chung). She asks some questions to Dorothy, as Elmo interprets. Once the interview is conducted, Zoe comes by and has her interview Rocco (to Elmo's frustration). The sketch was written by Belinda Ward.
*A celebrity montage of "What's the Name of That Song?" was proposed, utilizing guests from this season and Season 35.
==Season 35==
*"Who Wants to be a Rectangle?": A parody of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, hosted by a Regis Philbin-type Muppet named Reggie Filbert. Contestant Telly Monster must answer three questions about rectangles. At one point, he must phone a friend (Baby Bear). Telly comes out victorious and becomes a rectangular version of himself.
==Season 37==
*"Daisy's Magic Trick": In an early bit suggested for new character "Daisy" (later renamed Abby Cadabby), she happens upon Telly, who is polishing the famed "Hope Triangle" for an upcoming Triangle Lover's meeting. She demonstrates her special trick of turning it into a pumpkin, but unfortunately doesn't know a trick to reverse it.
==Season 38==
*Additional closing story segments were conceived of, including "Baby Fairytales: Baby Rapunzel" and "Maria the Cowgirl: The Marshmallows." The latter concept would be instead expanded upon for the street story in Episode 4183.
==Unknown season==
*"Flashing Pumpkins": Abby Cadabby has turned her five dolls into pumpkins and changes them back one by one, demonstrating subtraction. When she reaches the last pumpkin, presumed to be her dolly Betsy, it instead turns out to be Mayor Michael Bloomberg under her enchantment.
*Annie Evans wrote an Elmo's World centering around trucks, which would have featured an appearance by the Bulldozer puppet. However, the piece was written as production of the segment was winding down and was ultimately never shot.Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show: Annie Evans (Writer) || Ep. 103 (00:36:55)
*Tony Geiss scripted another unmade Elmo's World episode about baby animals. The "quiz" section would feature cameos by Mr. Snuffleupagus and Alice, and Grover would send in a video email directing a film of a hatching egg.
