Sesame Street News Flash: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Kermit interviews Ali Baba, who can't seem to figure out the magic word starting with the letter S to open the door to the cave. When Kermit says goodbye to the viewers, he accidentally blurts out "Open Sesame (Street News)," to which the rock opens and forty thieves come out, stealing Kermit's watch and nearly all of his clothes.
