Daveed Diggs is hanging out with the Sesame Street gang!

The 39-year-old Hamilton, Snowpiercer, and Blindspotting actor starred alongside Sesame Street characters in DoorDash’s new commercial airing during the 2021 Super Bowl on Sunday (February 7).

Sesame Street characters in the commercial include Big Bird, Grover, and Cookie Monster among others.

In the commercial, Daveed and the Sesame Street gang show just how easy and convenient it is for people to use and order food from the food delivery service while also encouraging people to order/shop local.

In a recent interview, Daveed gushed about working with all the people on set of Sesame Street, along with the people that control the characters.

“The performers are incredible. I remember sitting on the couch with Cookie Monster, and we’re between takes just having conversations, you know, just like actors talk to each other between takes, catching up on what each other was doing,” Daveed shared with People. You totally forget that [those characters] are animated.”

On Sunday (January 24), a fan re-watched the 44-year-old Deadpool actor’s episode of the hit kids program and posted about it on Twitter.

“Watching a little @sesamestreet with the kiddo, and its an episode with @VancityReynolds and the gang doing an A-Team gag. Its a delight, for both me and the kiddo,” the fan wrote.

Ryan then saw the tweet and re-posted it, while also poking some fun at himself.

I remember how challenging it was to sing because the A-hole was so tight,” Ryan tweeted. “But I pushed through because kids all over the country were counting on me.”

Ryan‘s appearance on Sesame Street aired back on November 5, 2010.

Elmo Talks About Racism in 'Sesame Street' & CNN Town Hall

Sesame Street and CNN are teaming up to help kids and parents learn about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Coming Together: Standing Up To Racism aired on Saturday morning (June 6) where Sesame Street characters Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Rosita discussed fighting racism and who to call when police officers are being unsafe.

As a three-year-old, Elmo doesn’t know to much about the way systemic racism works, which can be hard to understand why there are protests following George Floyd‘s death. Elmo‘s father, Louie, was able to help explain racism to his son.

“Racism is when people treat other people unfairly because of the way they look or the color of their skin,” Louie told Elmo. “Not all streets are like Sesame Street. On Sesame Street, we all love and respect on another. Across the country, people of color, especially in the black community, are being treated unfairly because of how they look, their culture, race and who they are.”
