(light guitar music)
- Hi, I'm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
and I've had a lot of fun here on Sesame Street.
- We had two birds and took away one
and now there's just one bird left, me.
(flute trills)
- Right, so Big Bird, now do you get subtraction?
- Oh, you said subtraction.
Better take myself away.
- I think he gets it.
You know, one thing really startled me
when I was out here on Sesame Street and that's Big Bird.
He's as tall as I am.
That's really amazing.
- Hi, Kareem.
- Hey Big Bird, how you doin'?
- I'm great.
How are you?
- I'm fine.
- Let's see, I've got a question for you.
- Yeah sure.
- When did you get to be so tall?
- Geez, back when I was 12 or 13 years old
I had a growth spurt.
- Oh. - Oh yeah.
Big Bird, I wanted to ask you how did you get to be so tall?
- Who me?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well, I was hatched this way.
- Ernie, you can't bring this bird in here.
- Oh you see, I'm just explaining I am tall.
Burt here is taller.
- And I'm tallest.
- Hey watch out.
(crashing)
Right through the ceiling.
- Happy 50th anniversary Sesame Street.
