Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel… and Elmo?
Sesame Workshop is developing a talk show starring the squeaky-voiced puppet, called The Not Too Late Show with Elmo, where he will interview celebrity guests. Production begins next month, but it’s not clear when the program will air.
It was announced Thursday as part of a deal between HBO Max and the children’s television producer. The centerpiece of the deal is five new seasons of Sesame Street that begin next year. The episodes will air first on the pay cable service and then be made available for free through PBS.
