One of my fellow cast members of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever – namely Eric Smith, who portrayed Reverend Hopkins – told me during the show’s run this past week that he loves it when I post vintage Sesame Street sketches and whatnot on this blog.

So Eric, this one’s going out to you especially 🙂

This is one of the few appearances of Bert’s adorable baby nephew Brad, who is staying with his uncle and about to get a bath. Of course, Ernie has to show up and… well, be Ernie.

The results? Hilarity!
