Regardless of age, the 40th year of “Sesame Street” is a big deal. And, of course, the show usually has incredible celebrity appearances from time to time, but they are welcoming a whole slew of celebrities for the upcoming season.
First lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to appear on the show once again, according to the New York Post.
Another big name making an appearance on the show is Jake Gyllenhaal. He'll be appearing for Shalom Sesame, a 12-part series of episodes that will teach Jewish-American kids about Jewish culture.
