Sesame Street News Flash - Aladdin's Lamp

If Kermit quits his reporter gig (which I wouldn't blame him for), I'm sure he'll find a great job as an electricion.

I see that you took the Hebrew version of this sketch and dubbed the English audio over it.

Yep, hence the long blackness at the begining.

"CAN SOMEONE TURN ON THE LIGHT IN HERE...? oh hi-ho kermit thefrog..." i love how kermit just turns calm when the lights go on

Aladdin says, "You can call me Al." XD

Omg, Frank Oz's super-sarcastic voice as Aladdin! lmao. I was waiting for Kermit to flip out & bitchslap him.

Notice at the end Kermit says, "I'll see you later, Ali Baba." instead of Aladdin.

Aladdin:You can call me Al. Now I know where Disney got the idea for the Genie to call Aladdin that.

Genie: Can you believe this dingaling.

Kermit: No, he certainly isn't the brightest bulb in the box.

When was there ever electricity in that culture? XD

[smurfbrat]

Genie: "Can you believe this dingaling?"

Kermit: "No, not really..."

AHAHAHA!!

I know this sketch originally did NOT use the News Flash logo at the beginning, but I wonder if later reruns (like in the late 1980s or the 1990s) plastered it to the beginning of the sketch? They sometimes did that

I remember when I used to perform this as a child, I would pretend it had the title card and the announcer at the beginning.
