Wednesday Trivia Question

When he appeared on SESAME STREET, Ian McKellen taught what Muppet the meaning of the word resist?

One of the marvelous things about the long-running children’s series SESAME STREET (and I’m sure most will agree there are many marvelous things about it) is the guest stars that pop up. From Tony Hawk to Richard Pryor, guest stars sing songs, act in skits and generally lend an air of pop culture credo and gravitas to an award-winning educational show.

When Sir Ian McKellen appeared in a December 2014 episode, he helped one of the program’s Muppet characters learn about the word “resist” in a piece that even referenced his turn as Gandalf in “The Lord Of The Rings” franchise.

So who was it? What Muppet got Sir Ian’s instruction on the word “resist” in a 2014 SESAME STREET episode?
