Cerf wrote hundreds of songs for Sesame Street and co-created the PBS show Between the Lions. Henry Beard attended Harvard and was a member of the Harvard Lampoon. He went on to found the National Lampoon, and served as the magazine’s editor during its heyday in the 1970s. He has written numerous bestselling humor books.
