In direction of the tip of their date ― really a playdate this time, per the video description ― Dimoldenberg, who is understood for her sensible however awkward interviewing model, requested the cheerful Muppet: “Why do you think I’ve been single for so long?”
Elmo got here proper again with, truthfully, some fairly good recommendation: “Elmo thinks you’re in your head too much.”
“You think so?” Dimoldenberg requested.
“Yeah! You’re a wonderful person,” Elmo mentioned. “You’re kind, you’re funny, you’re smart, you’re beautiful, you know? Just accept love! Very important.”
After this change, Dimoldenberg confided in Elmo that she “met someone recently.”

“Oh, Elmo sorry to hear that,” the Muppet replied gently.
“It was a great date, though,” Dimoldenberg mentioned. “We’ve got a real chemistry ― you know, remember the word I taught you? I don’t know, we’ll see how it goes, but ―”
Elmo, although, wasn’t going to let his new buddy take a defeatist angle, even when she’s working inside a difficult relationship tradition the place it’s thought-about acceptable to easily ghost somebody as a substitute of being weak.
“There’s always room for love,” Elmo mentioned.
Though Elmo got here off as fairly sage for a 3-and-a-half-year-old monster, he didn’t preserve his cool your complete time. At one level, his nemesis, Rocco the pet rock, made a cameo, a lot to Elmo’s consternation.
“Oh my goodness, Rocco’s here,” Dimoldenberg mentioned a bit greater than 5 minutes into the interview.
“No he’s not,” Elmo mentioned with an air of panic.
“Yeah, Rocco’s just right in front of you, Elmo,” Dimoldenberg mentioned, pointing to the rock, who sat on the desk, taciturn.
Elmo appeared down and let loose a pissed off sigh.
“Are you kidding?” he mentioned, trying across the set. “Who brought Rocco?”
