And Destiny's Child, we got to sing a song called, I got a new way to walk, walk, walk."<br /> </p><p><br /> Executive Producer, Carol-Lynn Parente has been in charge of Sesame Street for the past 22 years. The nine-time Emmy Award winner has helped the show enter the Guinness Book of World Records, and says her role is a dream come true.<br /> </p><p><br /> "It's pretty much the best job you can have because you get to work every day with Elmo and Big Bird and even Oscar, and I think the best part is when you tell people what you do for a living.
