Brett Goldstein, the actor known for his role as Roy Kent on Apple TV’s Ted Lasso, appears in a Sesame Street video with Oscar the Grouch. Roy is known in Ted Lasso for being the grumpy yet compassionate footballer-turned-coach, who enraptured the hearts of the show’s fans. Goldstein himself serves a co-executive producer on the series alongside Bill Lawrence and Jason Sudeikis, as well as a writer, in addition to his time spent portraying Roy Kent.

Roy was defined by his gruff attitude and his older age from the start of his appearance in Ted Lasso season 1. However, by the end of season 1, thanks to the kind hearts of his new coach and the show’s titular character, Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis), he revealed new vulnerability that strongly resonated with the audience. Roy maintained much of his gruff attitude in season 2 throughout his post-retirement journey to becoming a fellow coach at Ted Lasso‘s AFC Richmond, but his true heart continued to show time and time again. This was particularly true alongside his girlfriend, Keeley Jones (Juno Temple), and even his former rival, Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster).

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

In a video shared today by Sesame Street on Twitter, Goldstein appears alongside Oscar the Grouch in his iconic trash can. As Big Bird passes along, he stops and turns to ask the two, “Isn’t it a beautiful day?” Once Big Bird’s walked off, Goldstein and Oscar share a disapproving look and shake their heads before disappearing inside their trash cans for the ultimate grouchy moment. Watch the full clip here:

The Sesame Street video is a perfect match up of two iconic grumpy characters from two very different worlds. Goldstein makes his appearance just weeks after the announcement of his exclusive overall deal to develop, create and produce new TV projects for Warner Bros. studio and one month before Ted Lasso season 3 is set to begin filming, according to actress Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton). It seems fitting that in the midst of so much success for Goldstein, he gets to collaborate with Sesame Street’s favorite grouch, after earning a similar title among the dedicated fans of Ted Lasso.

It’s interesting, however, that the Ted Lasso star was chosen to appear in Sesame Street with the allusion to his role in a television show clearly not made for children, in which he curses almost constantly. Ted Lasso is rated TV-MA, which is a stark contrast to the PG ranking given to the children’s show. This doesn’t take away from the fun of the video, however, especially for those who have already grown up with Oscar the Grouch and other loved characters on Sesame Street. Just like Coach Lasso’s inclusive attitude that pulled Roy in the very first episode of Ted Lasso, there’s always room for anyone on Sesame Street.
