Cookie Monster gets his 'SNL' wish, sort of

IMG_3332


Remember Cookie Monster's campaign last month to host "Saturday Night Live"? It paid off -- kinda.

During his opening monologue on Saturday night's edition of "SNL," guest host Jeff Bridges brought on an "old friend" of his -- and yep, it was Cookie Monster.

Bridges grabbed a guitar, and together the two sang "Silver Bells."

Cookie Monster's campaign followed the successful Internet ploy to get Betty White on the late night show as a guest host. I guess that makes it Internet 2, "SNL" 0.
