LOS ANGELES - This week’s new episode of "The Masked Singer" will be brought to you by the letter "S" – and not for the word Singer, but for "Sesame Street."
The two family-friendly shows will be teaming up for "Sesame Street Night" on Wednesday, featuring muppet characters including Cookie Monster, Count Von Count, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch and Elmo.
"Combining those two episodes is going to make one really amazing, memorable episode," panelist Jenny McCarthy shared in a video teasing the new episode. "I am so excited about ‘Sesame Street.’"
A longtime favorite of children and adults, and a staple of PBS, "Sesame Street" is an educational program that teaches kids numbers, colors and the alphabet.

"This season we get to have a little edu-tainment," host Nick Cannon said, adding, "Hopefully we can learn some things. We can learn how to cooperate, sing together, learn the alphabet."
