Jon Stewart and The Daily Show launched a new show this week to discuss how Big Bird could remake his image to be less liberal.

The Democratic National Committee got in on it with a web video, followed by one directly from the Obama campaign, which has also sent people dressed like Big Bird to protest Romney rallies.

Watch the video below.
