Big Bird’s been making headlines all week following Mitt Romney’s remark that he would cut government funding to PBS. So really, it was only fair to let the Sesame Street star pay a visit to the show’s Weekend Update segment to share his own reactions. Host Seth Meyers asks him how he first heard that he’d been mentioned at Wednesday’s presidential debate. “I got a million tweets,” he says, adding, “I’m a bird. Tweeting is how we talk. What’s a Twitter?”
Not wanting to “ruffle any feathers,” Big Bird remained non-partisan. He did, however, share a topical political joke: “You know who loves debates? De-fishes. It’s a thinker.”
