Of course, there was Bert's sham marriage to Liza Minnelli (We Only Preach Them)

Yesterday a spokesperson for "Sesame Street" said that Bert and Ernie do not, I repeat, do not have a sexual orientation. A spokesperson then added, "But Big Bird is really into Asian chicks." This is because a writer on "Sesame Street" earlier in the week claimed that Bert and Ernie are gay. I always thought it was pretty obvious that Bert and Ernie were gay. Especially based on some of the appearances they have made over the years. For example, they were guest judges on "RuPaul's Drag Race." They hosted an annual summer solstice party on Fire Island. They officiated Neil Patrick Harris' wedding. Of course, there was Bert's sham marriage to Liza Minnelli. --Conan O’Brien
