[stevenscottoddballz]

Was this on SESAME STREET? I don't remember this! What season? {By the way - I VAGUELY remember he was in a movie where he was in the electric chair. Does anyone know the name of the movie?)

[stevenscottoddballz]

@TheKac111

I didn't see ANY scene with Michael Jeter in an electric chair in Jurassic Park. PLEASE try again.

[krborg85]

@stevenscottoddballz The Green Mile

[stevenscottoddballz]

@krborg85

Oh, YEAH! THAT sounds more familiar! Thank you VERY much!

[June300c]

i didnt know he could sing too

[IkilledColMustard]

I bet Rev Sharpton and Rev Jackson were threating a lawsuit against Sesame Street if they don't but a black sheep in this song.

[ThatPurplyThing]

He was able to live his life to the fullest and have fun ;D

I hope he's dancing up in the great big sky. 

[IceManNJD]

RIP Mikey Jeter

[JennMystic]

It says on his Wiki that he had HIV for years but. He died of an epileptic seizure

[HavePride1]

yea! Lets put a QUEER with AIDS on our KIDS TV SHOWS!!!!! AWESOME!!!! "Mr.Noodle" LOL good god, could the Jews get any more perverse?

[blakedkitty]

isnt that guy play mr. noodle?

[8yume]

Does anyone remember him from 'Jurrassic Park?' This song isn't the same without Berts comments.

[KizulEmeraldfire]

@8yume

I'm absolutely certain that he wasn't in Jurassic Park* (though I could be wrong), but I agree. It's just not the same without Bert. :<

*Edit: HA HA HA, disregard that — I'd forgotten about Jurassic Park III. xD

[8yume]

@KizulEmeraldfire Lol. It's ok. I was wrong too for forgetting the lll at the end of 'Jurrassic Park?.' :)

[8yume]

@KizulEmeraldfire Lol. :)

[Kitsa1]

It's a shame that he happened to be HIV-positive when he died, people are always going to say he died of AIDS whether it was a seizure or not. But how someone dies is only a very little thing...look what a talent he was.

[thatgothkid1]

Holy shit! Michael Jeter was Mr.noodle!

RIP

[mookus]

What a wonderful man, he was so full of life :) RIP Michael.

[sowhak511]

I think Ernie might of sung this first..

[oscarphile]

The great Michael Jeter. I didn't know he did Sesame Street!

Here's to you, Michael, wherever you are!

[holl5050]

I miss Him ! :'(

[finnsia]

So did sesame street use his material? or vice versa?

[NyeTunes]

And hey, if you wanna mortify your kids, show them "The Green Mile". :-P

[roryphelan]

could robert de niro do this. I don't think so

[htfamily]

lol mr. noodle's brother mr. noodle

[littlejapan3]

I miss him :(

[madridboy86]

A wonderful remake by a great man, thank you Michael Jeter for remaking a classic I remembering as a wee lad

R.I.P. Michael Jeter

[finnishminnow]

This song sung by Michael Jeter is similar to Ernie's Version.

[Adoniram1986]

Dr. L. Ron Bumquist

[zacandtaylorrule]

Great remake. RIP Michael Jeter.

[CrackedNutShellx2]

[SweetBrwnSuga]

[swingindoorspro]

He was mr.noodle's brother, mr.noodle

Mr.noodle is played by Bill Irwin

[flyingfishlu]

i thought he never talks

[RealTime88]

Michael is only a mime when he plays Mr. Noodle. This is Michael just being his playful self. He died on my birthday of AIDS. I miss him.

[flyingfishlu]

:[ thats sad

[DanteBrane]

I loved watching ihm on elmo when I was younger.I miss him...he will always be rememberd.

[MamaLuigii]

I love this guy! Lol this just made Sesame Street epicly awesome.

[butterfly240208]

michael jeter was beautiful/also good in the green mile

[CelesteK]

Those aren't footies. He's wearing matching slippers.

[DimeraFan28]

Wow. I remember this. I think he's a great dancer. If he was alive and was on, "Dancing with the stars". I would vote for him in a heartbeat. And He's One Heck Of A Singer Too. and it's good to know that he's up there with some of the best people from, music, movies, and tv. R.I.P Micheal Jeter. I hope you're showing some of the celebs how to dance.

[girlsixdiva]

Oh come on where is the original version with Bert and Ernie? That one was hilarious!!! This version sucks.

[jobro193]

Lay of!.. he is wonderfull.. Miss you Michael.. rest in pease <3

[NotGonnaGetUSx3]

He died?

ooh. that stinks.

[CalvinMcFarland]

There is nothing creepier than a 50 year old man in feetie pajamas dancing in a child's bedroom.

[zacandtaylorrule]

I agree with drunkjesse. I did not know this existed. I love it. This is probably my favorite Ernie song besides Rubber Duckie. Whenb was this on Sesame Street. I think I would have remembered it. RIP MR Noodles's brother.

[DrunkJesse]

Wait wait wait... what?! What is this? I mean, I've seen the original, and I know who Michael Jeter is, but why was this particular video created? He's got the Sesame Street sheep and everything, so clearly this wasn't just something he made for the internet.

Was this actually on Sesame Street? And if so, why? I've never seen any other random actors doing covers of "Rubber Duckie" or "Visit the Moon" or anything.

[frymahhide1982]

DrunkJesse:

Yes, this was on the actual show because I remember it on TV and also, there were also random people doing covers of famous songs: Little Richard did a cover of Rubber Duckie, Ernie sang "Visit the Moon" with Aaron Neville, Marilyn Horne did C is For Cookie, and there was also a version of Monster in the Mirror with different celebrities.

[pbscraze]

Some sites say Mr. Jeter died of AIDS. But I can't figure out if it was HIV or AIDS. Anyway, he was a great and hilarious actor. He will always be remembered no matter what.

[RealTime88]

Great actor, dancer, soo funny!!! He died on my birthday. That sucked!!! Micahel Jeter was such an amazing performer!!! RIP

[Babe5677]

I love Micheal Jeter he was in Sister Act 2 Back In The Habit.

[johnny2pistols]

He was terrific in Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall. Great versatility, RIP.

[bellybutton4]

He was also in Air Bud.

[Connerisawesome]

oh yeah he played the clown.

[CrazyDiamond5321]

Michael Jeter was an absolutely wonderful performer, R.I.P. My friend.

[MichaelJeterFan]

Michael jeter died cause oh complications of virus HIV..i looked on internet:D

[Babe5677]

I love this Mecheal Jeter rules. I like Bill Irwin as well have you got any videos. Of Micheal and Bill together as Mr Noodle and Mr Noodle's brother Mr Noodle on Elmo's World.

[wipiwupu]

love that song really...i sing it in my mind...i'm michael jeter's fan..thanks so much for posting this..really..ohh if he was still alive..he's great

[beautifuldayboy]

I like the animated lion one best.

[byebons]

Charming! Michael Jeter was a very elegant dancer. His was a once-in-a-lifetime performance in GRAND HOTEL on Broadway. He seemed like a lovely person also.

[FluffQueen]

Thanks so much for posting this. So great to see him! What a great man.

[Garrettk41]

Not really. Bill is taller with more hair, and his is red.

I don't think rendition of the song is as good as Ernie's, but it's certainly better than that odd animated version. And more of this would have certainly been a much better use of Jeter's time than doing "Elmo's World". I wish I knew how much he, Bill, and Kristen have actually enjoyed doing that.

[OofusTwillip]

Michael Jeter won a Tony Award for his performance in the musical "Grand Hotel". It's great to see and hear the talents that got him that award!

[sesamestreet66]

No, he's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.

[tpirman1982]

Right. The Mr. Noodle is Bill Irwin. And Rest in Peace. I dedicate this to you, Michael Jeter.

[Babe5677]

Yeah I remember when Micheal Jeter was Mr Noodle's brother Mr Noodle on Elmo's World I am a Micheal Jeter fan I wonder what happened to him.

[VaultMasterDBT]

Michael Jeter died of AIDS in 2003.

[sesamestreet66]

From what I understand, he only had HIV and not AIDS. He dropped dead unexpectedly from something that was probably not related to his HIV status.

[GarfieldVsSnoopy]

yes he was gay.

[ZNKChannel]

I don't know what you mean, street66, 'cause when I see The Polar Express, after all the credits, it says "Dedicated To Michael Jeter", so maybe The Polar Express was his last thing he did. Not whatever you thought.

[ThatPurplyThing]

@ZNKChannel It sadly was :(

[Babe5677]

Aww bless him I didn't know Micheal Jeter died of aids

[sesamestreet66]

He didn't.

[VaultMasterDBT]

OK, my apologies, he only had HIV but many reports said his death was due to HIV-related illness.

[BreezybriProductions]

@Babe5677 4 the record, Michael Jeter did have HIV, but he died from a seizuer

[Shepard1100]

@Babe5677 He lived with HIV, but died of a seizure.
