Colbert, without his trademark wire-rimmed glasses, is pretty funny here, as the letter Z, who, as the last letter in the alphabet, suffers from a slight inferiority complex. Sullivan plays the letter A, and has a much healthier ego. Their bits were filmed at a mall in Jersey, and are pretty funny, if not as edgy as their work on The Daily Show or MadTV.
The video runs through the letters of the alphabet with the usual blend of animation and Muppetry, with guest appearances from the Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, Melissa Ethridge, and Larry King. All of the celebs acquit themselves admirably, with the exception of Ethridge, whose ode to the letter U goes on too long, and is grating to these ears. Not to mention that it's a bit much when she dry-humps the U puppet.
Sesame Street's All-Star Alphabet is an excellent educational kidvid for pre-schoolers with some great music and the comedy stylings of Stephen Colbert. My 2-year-old daughter approves, as she is a big Elmo fan, while my 3-year-old son likes it because he is a big fan of Colbert.
