Īlistair Cookie is generally a detached party who simply serves as a frame for the Monsterpiece Theater spoofs. It's a whole 'nother side of Cookie, where he's just kinda, you know, laid back and intellectual, but he still has that "Me Alistair Cookie," and it's just such a funny contrast. He throws out these words like, you know, "Me digress." It's his whole Alistair Cookie side.
In a 2004 Chicago Public Radio interview, David Rudman (who performs Cookie Monster) referred to Cookie Monster's occasional use of more advanced phrases, such as "It a bit esoteric," as his Alistair Cookie side: In the late 1980s, the pipe was gone so as not to reinforce smoking as a positive attribute. He used to appear smoking a pipe and then eating it at the end of each piece. Though seemingly more sedate and urbane, Alistair Cookie is still a Cookie Monster, devouring baked goods, props-and in the revamped opening in the 1990s, noisily consuming cookies over the theme, while offering judicious comments on the texture. Alistair Cookie introduced viewers to a spot of culture while relaxing in a well-stuffed armchair. Created as a spoof of the original Masterpiece Theatre host Alistair Cooke, Alistair Cookie is basically Cookie Monster in an English smoking jacket and ascot tie, although Cooke was neither a pipe smoker nor did he wear a smoking jacket on Masterpiece Theatre. Similar segments, titled Mysterious Theater and parodying fellow PBS anthology Mystery!, are hosted by "Vincent Twice Vincent Twice," a parody of Vincent Price.Īlistair Cookie is Cookie Monster's alter ego when hosting Monsterpiece Theater.

Monsterpiece Theater is hosted by Alistair Cookie, Cookie Monster trying his best to look like Alistair Cooke. The theme song is also a modified version of Fanfare-Rondeau, the Masterpiece theme song, only with trumpets and a much more upbeat tempo. While using Muppet characters to act out educational principles, primarily Grover and other Muppet monsters, Monsterpiece Theater is also a parody of the similarly acclaimed PBS show Masterpiece Theatre, now known simply as Masterpiece.
