"Word on the Street" supports Sesame Street's literacy curriculum and helps build children's vocabulary through exposure to words in multiple and meaningful contexts. It features a Muppet named Murray who hits the streets of New York asking people and pets of all ages to talk about the "Word on the Street" and what it means. The word is repeated and acted out at various moments throughout the show including a celebrity spot.
