Does Anyone Recognize These People From Sesame Street's "Put Down The Duckie" Video? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I watched this ALL the time as a kid.

The only people I recognize are John Candy, Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman), and Danny Devito and his wife.

Anyone recognize anyone else? Thanks.

Also, I could be wrong but isn't singer Bernadette Peters the one with the duck on her head?

Cute video! I've heard the song before, but I don't think I've ever seen the video! Who was the first guy they showed? Paul Simon and Danny Devito cracked me up, as well as Pee Wee Herman!
Thanks for sharing that!

Maybe you didn't recognize John Candy because he was dressed as one of the characters he played on SCTV, Yosh Schmenge. Andrea Martin was also in costume as one of her SCTV characters, Edith Prickly.
