- Hi, my name is Isaac Mizrahi,
and I have so many memories of Sesame Street.
I was maybe a little bit too old
to be watching it when it was on,
but I did watch it, for years and years and years.
And so, some point in 2003, I met Elmo, actually met him.
He came to my studio, and I took measurements of him,
and we did a segment for my talk show.
And the whole theme of the segment
was the idea that I was making him a tuxedo
for some form of gala.
- (giggles) Elmo's friend Isaac Mizarahi
designed this suit for Elmo.
- Wow, you know, that's amazing.
- Yeah!
- He's one of the top designers in the world, you know.
- I made Elmo a tuxedo,
and it was the most fabulous kind of dream come true for me,
because I had been watching it for all these years,
I was sort of an amateur puppeteer.
And it was just a great reward in my life.
And so, for that memory, I would like to say thank you.
And happy 50th anniversary to Sesame Street.
