Christina Vittas, 25, a Wayne native who now lives in Hoboken, is the social media manager for Sesame Street's furry red monster.
On Jan. 29, Vittas tweeted out a seemingly innocent question to Elmo's followers.
"Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?"
Vittas, whose LinkedIn page shows she's been working at Sesame Street for 3 years, never could've predicted what followed: Hundreds and thousands of responses from the IRS, Rainn Wilson, T-Pain, Dunkin', and Sesame Street fans far and wide.
"I could honestly use an iced coffee," Dunkin' said.
"Has anyone checked in on you, Elmo? How’re you, pal?" one X user responded.
Apparently in response to the trauma dumpers, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline chimed in. And U.S. President Joe Biden.
Vittas was in disbelief. She shared an Instagram album titled: "The Wildest Week of My Life: The Reactions."
Larry David, on the other hand, was forced to issue an apology after attacking Elmo on "The TODAY Show."
Daily Voice has reached out to Vittas for comment.
