Prairie Dawn hosts American I, where contestants compete to be the best letter I. Rosita, Oscar the Grouch and Dawg the Dog serve as the judges. The first two contestants are a letter B and a letter W, whom the judges all agree should be the next American I. Prairie can hardly believe this. The final contestant actually is the letter I, whom the judges all reject. Frustrated, Prairie yells "It should be the American I, do you hear me?? I, I, I, I, Iiiiiii!" which causes the judges to crown Prairie as the winner, even though she's not even a letter. Oscar: "That's what makes it so right!" A flattered Prairie accepts the award.
