A Salute to the Cookie
Here is our list of ten cookie references from our montage this morning. If you got all ten, take the rest of the week off . . . this was our most obscure list yet.
  1. A commercial for the Fig Newton cookie from the 1970s.
  2. Michael Scott and Angel fight for Kevin’s loyalty on an episode of The Office.
  3. Kate Smith and Andy Williams deny the Cookie Bear a cookie on The Andy Williams Show. (this was once a popular, zany skit . . . we promise)
  4. Walter Matthau in a scene for the movie The Fortune Cookie.
  5. Jerry and Elaine discuss the black and white cookie. It didn’t end well.
  6. Shirley Temple sings "Animal Crackers" . . . they’re cookies, right?
  7. The Keebler Elves push fudge cookies.
  8. Gingy, the talking Gingerbread Man tosses an insult in Shrek 3.
  9. Shelly Long sells Girl Scout Cookies in Troop Beverly Hills.
  10. Two of the three best Muppets ever, Kermit and Cookie Monster, play a game.
Apologies to the cast of Robert Altman’s film Cookie’s Fortune, baseball players Rojas and Lovagetto, the short-order cook in Beetle Bailey and famous Amos. Maybe next time
