SNL Mixes Joker with Sesame Street
On the same night host David Harbour, who plays Sheriff Hopper on Stranger Things, discovered a portal to the Upside Down, SNL parodied Joker...by mixing it with Sesame Street!
In the Digital Short, Harbour plays Oscar, a garbage man (who works his daily rounds with Grover) who feels increasingly agitated over the crime-riddled neighborhood of Sesame Street. The Count counts his drugs. Snuffaluffagus is a pimp. Ernie's murdered in a back alley for his rubber duck. It's sheer madness.
All of it makes Oscar, as he confesses to his counselor Susan Robinson (the character Loretta Long's played on Sesame Street since the show started in 1969), a touch grouchy. Enough to paint his face green and start living in a trash can.
