Tom Hanks took Big Bird's seat! | 2019 Kennedy Center Honors

[@herooflight7931]

I can't help but imagine Woody talking to Big Bird when I see this clip.

[@JaredProd30]

yeh if tom hank was a bit younger he would sound like woody idk if he can still do the voice.

[@therealhuttertube]

I think this was a very slight tribute to Mr Rogers

[@JP-os4zo]

@@JaredProd30doesn’t matter how old they get they still can do it look at howie can still do the Bobby voice

[@masterdrewt6698]

Same here

[@hiwdy1]

Now make it woody harlison

[@jkrfan7]

0:17 tom hanks knew right away where the joke was going

[@luckyduck-2022]

It was planned he has a microphone on

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

It’s called a sketch and acting

[@haydencooper_]

No kidding 🙄

[@Ghost-rb5tg]

Tom Hanks started looking around to see if Wilson was nearby. "I must be seeing things again!"

[@Lemuel928]

And Big Bird thought he was meeting his old friend Mister Rogers again.

[@rougethebatlover9952]

Big Bird is still not the same without Caroll Spinney for the past three years, and I still miss him to this day. Born: 1933.12.26 - Died: 2019.12.08

[@tierraslifestyles]

same bro how did he die :(

[@galegrazutis964]

I agree whole heartedly. No where near the same. Carpl was big bird. I know other characters have had changes in actors, but this one feels so noticeable!

[@RaevenLin]

R.I.P., Mr.Caroll Spinney!!

[@tyrinedwards2256]

Same day as juice wrld diead

[@mannygomez5213]

Get over it already

[@bagofgroceries]

This was recorded the day Caroll passed. Every Sesame Street Monster was wearing a yellow feather in his honor.

[@Cobbi_1610]

He truly is the Biggest bird🦅

[@danielortega2351]

Tom will always be a gentleman and kind to others, even in the hardest situations. Thank you, Mr. Hanks.❤

Shouldn't that be 'Thanks'?

Best part is that some of the biggest stars in the world are like, "OMG, its Big Bird! Where's my phone!"

[@jamalselesi182]

R.I.P. Carroll Spinney Tom Hanks got to meet big bird at the Oscars which was cool but but for Caroll It’ll never be the same for him to play big Bernie more even though he’s gone for good he’ll be in peace

[@bullwrinkle29studiosshow37]

We finally got a great crossover of woody meeting big bird for first time IRL!

[@BlueJimmie48Fan]

Imagine getting a face full of Big Bird's tail feathers, I would legitimately geek out if that ever happened to me 😂

I never noticed just how THICC Big Bird is. Straight up raindrop physique.

I know it might be silly, but I just love when "kid's characters" are treated with love, attention and respect by adults, and not like "kid stuff"...

And now they have no home. Sesame Street is basically over.

[@gusparkwood4890]

You know What, in These Shitty Times, Woody talking to Big Bird just feels Nice.

[@sliat1981]

Didn’t the Carroll Spinney coach him? He sounds nothing like him

[@jamie1602]

You're not picked for your ability to sound exactly like the previous role. You're picked for the dedication, willingness to learn, and your energy. There is no replacement for Carroll Spinney. Only a successor. Carroll picked him and even said "his last name translates to bird, I think that's a great sign." I trust Carroll's judgement.

[@sliat1981]

@ lol Kermit was carefully selected for his voice as are his subsequent replacements. So that theory falls short

[@paulflak2823]

At least big bird was not looking for Mike Hunt. Say it really face multiple times.

Well the original Big Bird (Caroll Spinney) retired in 2018 after doing the role since 1969, and then sadly he died about a year later.

[@ricosuave8123]

Cute skit. But I can’t get past the fact that I am not hearing the same original voice for Big Bird. Sad.
