Kermit uses magic word! ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

The English language is full of funny words: 'viaduct', 'mayhem', 'tirade'.

And what may be the funniest word of all: 'ruin'.

If the magic word was ever spoken on 'Sesame Street', that clip would be almost a shoo-in for this feature. And finally, one such sketch (reportedly from the show's first season) has turned up:



'Ruin'!

Hear that, everyone? Kermit the Frog said 'ruin'!!!

There was supposedly a longer version of this skit, in which Kermit uttered the magic word several more times.

Kermit's letter sure was ruined by Cookie Monster!
