Asked about one of the conservative Republicans, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Trump lashed out.

Sal Perez, the show’s executive producer and a Sesame Workshop vice president, said the organization planned to use the award to let more people know that its nonprofit work extends beyond the TV show.“We do a lot of work around the world with direct services, trying to provide content for families that talks about some of those harder to talk about subjects, whether it’s trauma, whether it’s homelessness and things of that nature. So this is an opportunity to highlight that kind of work.”

Perez told The Associated Press in an interview before the ceremony that there would be news about Sesame Workshop’s future released “in the coming days.” Last year, Warner Bros. Discovery decided not to renew its deal for new episodes that air on HBO and Max, though episodes will remain on the streaming service until 2027.“’Sesame Street’ is not going to go away,” Perez said. “It will never go away. It’s obviously been a beloved show for so long.”However, there are changes coming to the new season, which currently has no distribution deal. Perez said the segments on the new season will be longer and “really focused on character,” while also focusing on its audience’s emotional well-being and development.

“The more kids want to hang out with our characters on ‘Sesame Street,’ the more they’re going to take in those lessons,” said Perez, adding that there would also be updates to the show’s look and feel. The new season will also feature more exploration of the “Sesame Street” neighborhood and a look inside the legendary two-story brownstone at 123 Sesame Street.Though Sesame Workshop receives only a small amount of government funding, Perez urged viewers to support public media, especially following President Donald Trump’s

to cut funding to PBS and NPR.

“We believe in the power that public funding has for children’s media,” he said. “I think people should support their local PBS affiliates and support children’s media because it is an entry point for children to really start to see the world outside of their homes.”During the more than hour-long session Tuesday, Trump warned Republicans not to touch Medicaid with cuts, and he told New York lawmakers to end their fight for a bigger local tax deduction, reversing his own campaign promise. The president, heading into the meeting, called himself a “cheerleader” for the Republican Party and praised

. But he also criticized at least one of the GOP holdouts as a “grandstander” and warned that anyone who doesn’t support the bill would be a “fool.”“We have unbelievable unity,” Trump said as he exited. “I think we’re going to get everything we want.”
