Lupita Nyong'o made her debut on American "Sesame Street" and it was, well, perfect. Elmo and Nyong'o talk about skin -- apparently, Elmo has skin, too -- and, in charming fashion, Nyong'o explains that we all need skin to feel things and be ticklish. "Skin comes in lots of beautiful shades and colors," she tells Elmo. "You know what, Miss Lupita?" says Elmo. "Elmo loves the skin he's in."
