- "Tonight, Monsterpiece Theater proud to present classic play, The Taming of the Shoe, by William Shoespeare, famous podiatrist. Trust me."
- ―Alastair Cookie
Alistair Cookie hosts Sesame Street's comedy-drama recurring sketch "Monsterpiece Theater". The segment is a parody of Alistair Cooke's popular television program, entitled "Masterpiece Theater", which debuted on PBS in 1971[1].
Alistair Cookie is played by Sesame Street character Cookie Monster, and is performed by puppeteer Frank Oz. While Alistair Cookie is much calmer than Cookie Monster, he still has a tendency to eat various objects. In the early skits, he would consume his pipe, but later his pipe was removed from the skits, and the earlier ones would re-air with newly taped introductions.
