WATCH: Elmo Told ‘The Project’ He’s Mad Keen To Collab With Adele

Honestly, do TV journalists have the best job or what?
In what looks like the most fun ‘The Project‘ gang has ever had, the perpetually 3.5-year-old Elmo has popped in to celebrate the 47th year of ‘Sesame Street’. As an aside, spending 47 years as a toddler sounds like a very special kind of hell, but dammit if he’s still not the happiest little muppet around.
Complete with the most adorable suit ever, bar none, Elmo starts off with a chat about that ridiculous goldfish yarn. Hilariously, we learn he is a big fan of explaining (and improving) the joke:
Waleed Aly: If you saw it before, we did a story about a person who had their goldfish replaced by carrots?

“Elmo: That was hilarious! [laughter]

Waleed: You have a goldfish called Dorothy, do you—

“Elmo: BECAUSE THEY PUT THE CARROTS IN THE FISHBOWL! [much louder laughter] I’m sorry what were you saying?”
Everyone’s favourite red monster also chats hanging out with Sia (goddamn braggart!), housing prices on Sesame Street, and, thanks to Peter Helliar sullying his beautiful tiny red ears, Australia’s epidemic-levels of koala chlamydia
Did you see what Peter did to young Elmo? Did you see him break a poor, sweet little muppet’s heart with marsupial STD talk?!
Finally, Elmo puts out a request for an Adele collab (complete with the hashtag ‘Adelmo’, naturally), before showing off some surprisingly, uh, deep pipes for ‘Rolling In The Deep‘.
