There is a list of sentences I genuinely never thought I would type and "'90s children's icon Lamb Chop comments on President Donald Trump's ability to pronounce acetaminophen" is definitely atop it. And yet, that is exactly where I find myself today.
President Trump and United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed the nation, stating that women who take Tylenol during pregnancy are putting their kids at a great risk for developing autism. Only the president seemed to struggle getting the medical word for the drug out.
“Effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians that the use of aceta—well, let's see how we say that,” Trump paused and sounded out the word syllable by syllable, saying: “Acetam—enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that OK? Which is basically commonly known as Tylenol."
Comedian Jon Stewart publicly mocked him for the flub, as did Shari Lewis' daughter and new Lamb Chop puppeteer Mallory Lewis on TikTok.
Using the puppet, Lewis said in her voice, "You know who can say the word acetaminophen," before playfully interrupting herself in Lamb Chop’s iconic voice: "I can say acetaminophen and I am just a puppet...oh wait."

"This is the roast that never ennnnnds," joked one fan.
"I love that you still bring us Lamb Chop. And that she’s never lost her personality," added another.
The puppet first appeared during Lewis's guest appearance on Captain Kangaroo in March 1956 and later landed on MBC in the 1960s. In 1992, Shari brought her iconic ventriloquist skills to PBS, where Lamb Chop's Play-Along aired until 1997.

Where PBS Stands Today
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting had $1.1 billion in funding rescinded in July after the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the historic cuts. CPB, which supports more than 1,500 public TV and radio stations, including numerous PBS and NPR stations, will ultimately feel the strain amid the loss of funding. The president's administration accused NPR and PBS of being biased around politics and called for taxpayer money to stop being used to fund it.
“No media outlet has a constitutional right to taxpayer subsidies, and the Government is entitled to determine which categories of activities to subsidize,” the administration's order read. “The CPB’s governing statute reflects principles of impartiality: the CPB may not ‘contribute to or otherwise support any political party.’”

PBS only receives about 15% of its funding from the government, so there are no plans to shut it down completely. However, stations across the country that do rely on that funding face stability threats, cutting access across America to free educational content. This is something Mallory says her mother fiercely believed in.
"She would be testifying at Congress and doing a press tour about it," Mallory said to Gold Derby while promoting the film Shari & Lamb Chop about her mother's legacy when discussing the funding cuts.
