Elmo made an appearance in the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, despite the recent scandal surrounding the
"
Sesame Street" character's puppeteer. Kevin Clash resigned
from the show Tuesday after he'd been accused of having a sexual relationship
with a minor. He has denied the allegation. On a float in Thursday's parade,
another puppeteer operated the Elmo puppet as it sang a song with other "
Sesame Street" characters. Clash and the
other performers had recorded the song before his resignation.
A Sesame Workshop executive told the
New York Times they never considered pulling Elmo from the parade.
