Cool Videos: Benedict Cumberbatch solves a mystery on Sesame Street

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Benedict Cumberbatch‘s star has been rising thanks to the BBC series SHERLOCK as well as his performance in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, but he still hasn’t reached quite the pinnacle of stardom that comes with an appearance on SESAME STREET.

In this new clip from the upcoming appearance on the iconic television series, Cumberbatch meets his new nemesis Murray-arty (get it?) and is given the challenge of solving a mystery involving apples and oranges. Without Watson (Martin Freeman), Cumberbatch has to call in reinforcements from The Count himself. Cumberbatch is charming, as usual, and definitely enjoys his time playing with the Muppet characters. As usual, SESAME STREET nails it.
