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

"I think you're in my seat." 😂Watch Tom Hanks & Big Bird of Sesame Street manage a classic mix-up during 2019's #KCHonors.

The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates icons who, through their artistry, have left an indelible stamp on our collective cultural consciousness,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. “Sesame Street continues to revolutionize how children and adults learn about our world."

In a star-studded celebration on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage, the 2019 Honorees were saluted by today's leading performers from New York, Hollywood, and the arts capitals of the world through performances and tributes.

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

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

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

[SeanTheDisneyGuy]

Big Bird has always been one of my favorite "Sesame Street" Muppets/Characters growing up!

[vivianaespinoza]

The voice of mufasa
The voice of scar
The voice of Hugo the gargoyle
The voice of philoctetes
The voice of woody

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

[jamalselesi]

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

[BlueJimmieFan]

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

[joeyjoe]

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

[GuidoGrasso]

All the best to the new guy but man can you tell the voice is different but this will be the voice of the new generation and life goes on.

[ChaoticGamer]

It's all fun and games till big bird gets angry

[RayNorbus]

Since Toy Story 4 is about Bonnie becoming an iPad Kid, There better be a Sesame Street reference.

[AlexDeLarge]

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

[josephagar]

It is nice to see something relating to Tom Hanks that isn't that stupid conspiracy crap for once.

[rickythekid]
