Count Von Count to appear next season on an episode of Fox's Million Dollar Money Drop

You read that right. Sesame Street's The Count will appear in a special episode of Fox's Million Dollar Money Drop next season and will play for charity. This of course would not be the first time a Sesame Street character has appeared on a TV game show. Oscar The Grouch appeared previously in several episodes of 1 VS 100. And several Sesame Street Muppets appeared on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader recently.

Million Dollar Money Drop host Kevin Pollak said The Count was an easy choice to bring on to the show since the show deals with money and numbers. And The Count has also seen a recent surge in popularity with his song Hands appearing in a commercial just a few years ago according to Pollak.

In addition to appearing on Million Dollar Money Drop, The Count has also started a website with a countdown starting with April 1 as the first day of the countdown. Ironically, April 1 will be the date of the last day of the countdown as well.
