While meeting Sesame Street's Grover backstage at the Shorty Awards, host Rick Sanchez, for some unknown reason, does his best Desi Arnaz impression.
Rick Sanchez finds the monster at the end of this awards ceremony.
Rick; "HOW CAN YOU HAVE MORE TWITTER FOLLOWERS THAN ME, YOU'RE JUST A PUPPET?!?!"
Grover; "Excuse me Mr. Rick, but I am a muppet... I will follow you if it makes you feel better."
Whoa!!! Guess who's coming to Sesame Street? Rick Sanchez

"It's the hair! I try to tell people."
Grover! Can I have your autograph?
Rick: "The Monster at the End of This Book is the scariest book I've ever read, but you're so lovable!"
Grover: I have some dirt on the Cookie Monster that could make it onto Rick's List!
"Aahh! Startled me there... I'm quite ticklish you know! "

Don't tase me, bro!
I finally come face to face with my doppelganger!
"...BUT I WANTED A COOKIE...THEY TOLD ME COOKIE MONSTER WON..."
Shorty Award host Rick Sanchez was astonished and a little embarrassed to learn that award winner Grover showed up wearing the same nose. Commentary by Joan Rivers to follow.
"Thanks Rick! I'm surprised that I won! Do you know how hard it is to tweet with these short,blue, fur covered fingers?"
I know you! You’re Super Grover he zooms through the sky smarter than a speeding bullet, furrier than a power locomotive, able to leap tall sandwiches in a single bound!
Do you always have to talk in 140 characters?
Two lovable muppets greet each other at the Shorty Awards.
Oh no! You lost your Blackberry? How will we tweet?
Grover: Can you get me in the CNN newsroom? sercurity is real tight over there
Rick: Do you know how many strings i had to pull to get you in the beat 360 blog!
Grover: Hey....watch it, I'm very sensitive about string remarks!
Rick asks "So does Big Bird tweet" !!!
Grover, I know a GREAT Doctor here in New York, that can take care of that nose of yours.
You know Campbell Brown is working on a new segment, Blue in America...are you interested?
Actually, Rick, Big Bird is the better tweeter.
Grover, why do the call it the "Shorty Awards" Surely someone on Sesame Street knows.
Rick and Grover have a shorty debate on the issues of the day.

Hey Rick, you got any pull with Wolf Blitzer? I'd love to get in that Situation Room!
Hell there. This is your old pal Grover. And today I’m going to talk to you about Rick Sanchez!
Latest tweet from @grover: Yep, I'm still cute and lovable.
"Dancing With The Stars" has gotten desperate for contestants.
Come on Grover, in English that would be...
I am all a "Tweeter" I finally get to meet my favorite Sesame Street character................... Grover!
Looks like a job for, SUPPER GROVER!
Rick and Grover's interpretative dance of Creed's "With Arms Wide Open".
Grover is a bit surprised when an excited Sanchez congratulates him and then exclaims, " I loved all you blue people in 'Avatar' ! "
"Hi there my lovable and furry friend!"
"And hi to you, Grover!!"
It is shocking that Grover won the Shorty, since Big Bird is the one who "tweets."
I'm feeling blue about being so short.
"Oh my God it's Rick Sanchez!"
See Grover!....i told you i'd be here with no strings attached!
What do you mean you.ve never made "The List!"
Don't taze me bro!
Grover! There`s a dress code here! You`re naked!
