| Videos: ‘Sesame Street’ Characters Teach ‘Game Of Thrones’ and ‘Westworld’ Enemies Lesson In Respect

You’re not going to find many adults watching Sesame Street without some tiny humans nearby, and you’d feel bad for any kid who accidentally wanders into an episode of Thrones or Westworld. But with all three of the shows currently housed at HBO, anything is possible. Sesame Street is doing a campaign called “Respect Brings Us Together” as part of its 50th anniversary celebration. And who better to teach a lesson in respect to in a pair of recently released crossover videos than Game of Thrones siblings Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), and Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) and Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) from Westworld?

| ‘Game Of Thrones’ Fans Will Be Able To Visit Westeros Next Year
If you’ve ever been sitting on your couch watching Game of Thrones and thought to yourself “Gee, I sure wish I could visit Westeros,” well, I’m not quite sure why you would want to.

As close as you can get to being able to visit a fictional location, anyway. And this visit will be much less dangerous. HBO is teaming up with Linen Mill Studios—the studios used for filming many of the series’ memorable scenes—to create a studio tour experience which will transport fans to Westeros and also Essos. The studio tour will give fans the opportunity to walk onto actual sets for various locations from the show, as well as see authentic props and costumes. You can find much more information and see some concept images below.
