[Crowd sounding excited] Im stuck, guys.
Whoa!
Lights Camera!
Action!
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to “Hello!
Hi!
How Are You?” I am your host, Mr. Clown.
And Im the incomparable, the incredible Tommy the Tomato.
And over there is our trusty band leader!
Its me, Ozzie.
And give it up for today's amazing band members in The Pride.
Ready?
Bella.
Wes.
Sidney.
Come on, Pride.
Let's show Mr. Clown what we've got.
[cacophonous music] Oh, no.
Not again!
Oh, no no, no!
Tommy, you gotta hit the big, red button.
I think we need to go to level 5 today, Mr. Clown.
(Mr. Clown) Level 5!
Here we go.
Level 1-2-3-4-5.
Okay, Tommy.
Coast is clear.
Yeah.
Great.
[monkey screeches, lever cranks] Meep, release the pin.
Whoa!!
Whoa.
This is different.
Where am I?
[cacophonous music continues] Tommy, I can't believe my eyes.
It's been years since I last saw you.
We sent you out to press the big, red button and never heard from you again.
Years?
But you just launched me on level 5.
I wasnt gone for more than a minute.
You do look great for your age, but its been more years than I can count on my fingers.
1-2-3-4 ...5-6-7-8-9-10.
I can count to 10!
Not now, Mr. Clown!
We have to figure out what happened.
I'll tell you what happened.
We've never been able to end the show, because the band never stopped playing, because you never hit the big, red button.
(Director) So much music.
Music for years.
Endless music, but no singing.
Why no singing?
Maybe you just sent me too far.
Are you sure you set the lever to level 5?
Of course!
I am a professional.
I know what I set the lever to.
Thimbleberries, Tommy!
It's set to the future.
So, I'm in the future?
Ahhh!
I'm in the future.
I'm in the future.
Okay, wow.
Wow.
I have so many questions.
How many flavors of ice cream are they up to now?
How tall is the tallest building?
Why are there so many antennas?
I can't answer any questions, Tommy.
I've been stuck in the studio since you went to the future, which is now.
And I really have to go to the bathroom.
Mr. Clown, does the lever have a “back to present” level?
It does not!
Oh, wait!
It does!
Back to the present!
Okay.
No time to waste.
You're telling me.
I really have to go to the bathroom.
See you later.
Or, actually, earlier.
Please tell my past/present self to find out the letter of the day.
It's driving me crazy not knowing.
You got it, Mr. Clown!
Meep, release the pin.
[Meep groans] Ohhh Whoa!!
I'm coming, Mr. Clown!
Cool.
Thanks, Mo.
Oh!
There's the big, red button.
[music is silenced] Well, that went off without a hitch.
Mr. Clown, if you only knew.
Well, what about your travels, Tommy?
I brought back an orange from the future!
Oh, wow.
Can I see it?
- Yeah.
I have an orange from the future!
Tommy?
Yeah?
Uh, this looks a lot like an orange from Mo, the super grocer.
Maybe it's different on the inside?
- Maybe.
[Nori humming] Oh, Nori!
[splatter] Ohh!!
Nope.
Its the same.
[Nori humming] Oh, Nori!
- Nori!
Nori, youre taking our orange.
From the future!
Oh, biscuits.
I almost forgot.
We have to find out the letter of the day right now!
Why so urgent, Tommy?
I made a promise to an old friend.
Is your friend the smartest person in the world?
Because I can't wait a minute longer to find out the letter of the day myself.
Then let's get to it.
Ozzie, to the Surprise Corner!
[Tommy singing “Surprise Corner” ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter in the corner ♪ ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter in the corner ♪ ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter Unwrapping a letter ♪ ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter in the corner ♪ ♪ Its an O!
♪♪ Hello, Liesel.
Hello, Mr. Clown.
I have a very cool letter for you today.
Oh, yeah?
What is it?
You already said it.
I did?
Oh, you really did.
It's O!
Oh, wow.
Oh, and I would like to tell you what the letter O sounds like right now.
- All right.
It sounds like this: [gibberish] That's fantastic.
But unfortunately, it is not wha the letter O sounds like.
It doesn't?
Huh.
I made a mistake!
Woo!
I love making mistakes, because it means I am learning.
You are learning so much.
The letter O, Mr. Clown, actually sounds like this: Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah?
Like “owl”!
Mm hmm.
And ah, ah, ah “octopus”!
Oh, well, what about ah, ah, “ostrich”?
That's a really good one.
I know another anima that starts with the letter O.
It's Ozzie.
(Ozzie) Hey!
[Ozzie humming] Ohh!
Wow.
That was an outstanding entrance, Ozzie!
I'd like to give you a standing ovation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[fancy music begins] An overwhelme orangutan on an overnight train offered oversized oranges to ostriches overcome with... Hmm.
Uh, I'm out of “O” words.
Onomatopoeia!
[lion growls and other jungle sounds] [Animal Control grumbling] Meep needs to find all the thing in their apartment that start with the letter O. I wonder what we can find.
I see something that starts with an O that's very obvious.
It's an onion.
Now I see something open in the kitchen.
That's an oven.
And on the counter are a pitcher and two glasses of orange juice.
Look under the sink.
It's an orangutan.
We did it!
We found four things that start with the letter O.
Mystery solved.
[Tommy gasps] [inquisitive music] Oh, Phil, what are you eating?
Oh, Mr. Clown, you came at a good time.
This is Thai eggplant.
It's got white rice, Thai eggplant, onions, peppers, garlic, and oyster sauce.
That does not taste delicious, I guarantee you, Phil!
You're wrong, Mr. Clown.
Mmm... Hmmm...
I may have spoken too quickly about not wanting to try that.
Perhaps just a little taste?
That's all you can do.
Just try it.
Thai eggplant is now one of my favorite foods in the whole wide world.
How can I thank you, Phil?
Perhaps by helping you not have to work so hard by eating so much and giving me another piece?
Fun to try stuff, isnt it?
Oh, Phil.
If you don't mind, I'd like a moment with this Thai eggplant.
You know what's more delicious than that food?
A song!
Hey there, Donnie here, again, auditioning for the band.
Again.
And I thought that I would shake things up a little bit today with... well, a shaker!
[shaking rhythmically] Thank you for taking the time to watch my audition.
And I'm really eager to start working with you.
Really, really eager.
Okay.
That was excellent!
Yeah.
Now, that was a simple instrument.
A very simple instrument.
But you know what we need Tommy, is a very sophisticated instrument: like a time machine to bring him back to childhoo so he could be in our kids band.
Just go back in time and be a kid.
[dog whining] Jason?
Oh, Jason!
A package for me?
[Jason grumbles] Oh, no?
Who's it for?
[Jason grumbles] (Tommy) It's a package for Ozzie!
Because the letter of the day is “O”!
Oh!
Ozzie, there's a package here for you.
A package for me?
How exciting.
Ozzie, what are you doing over there?
I was just organizing my olives in order of oiliness.
I think Kalamata are the oiliest.
Well, hurry over here and open this package.
The suspense is too much!
That was fast.
Wow, that was very fast.
“Word of the day.” [gasps] The word of the day must be inside.
[rock music begins] (Ozzie) Whoa!
It's a puzzle.
(Tommy) It's a puzzle!
I love puzzles.
Me too!
[Tommy singing] ♪ Puzzle pieces ♪ ♪ Putting together Putting together ♪ ♪ Puzzle pieces ♪♪ (Ozzie) That's an orange.
An orange?
I brought an orange back from the future.
[mysterious music] And now its the word of the day!
What a strange coincidence.
Kind of weird if you ask me.
Hmmmmm.... [music ceases] I love that orange is a color and a fruit.
Oh.
So true, Tommy.
And it's spelled: Thank you very much.
World's greatest speller.
Well, it it was close.
“E” “E”?
But I get credit for making another mistake!
Come on, Mr. Clown.
Sing it for me.
♪ I made a mistake.
♪ ♪ I made a mistake.
♪ I've got a perfect joke for today's word of the day.
Why did the orange go to the beach?
I love the beach.
It's not always about you, Tommy.
Oh.
Its about me!
Haha.
Hi, Red.
Hi.
Red, you know, it gets confusing, because you're an orange, but your name is Red.
Hmm.
Yep.
Im a real character.
Oh.
But wait.
Ozzie, tell us.
Why did I go to the beach?
To get a tangerine.
[drumroll] Oh.
Haha.
Yeah.
That's a great one.
I should point out: A tangerine isnt an orange.
It's more like a cousin of oranges.
We see each other at family picnics.
And actually, I think I gotta be headed to one right now.
Takes me a while to get there though.
The good thing is: if you don't get there for a while, you'll still look the same.
Because an orange in the future looks like an orange from the present.
Bye, Red!
- Goodbye, Red!
Bye, guys.
[Red humming] Tommy, can we speak privately?
In our super secret space?
Exactly.
Oh yeah.
Tommy.
Do you know why we're whispering right now?
Yeah, because we're in our super secret space.
And according to the rule book, you have to whisper.
That's the only rule.
Yes, but that's not the only reason we're whispering.
It's not?
Nope.
It's also because it's fun.
Oh, yeah.
That's the other rule.
See?
“Have fun!” And the only other, other rule is bring your own flashlight.
See?
That's the only other, other rule.
Whew.
Maybe we should change to a numbered rule system.
What's wrong with the other, other only rule system?
Well, it can get a little confusing without numbers.
We did just have a meeting about that.
[crowd chatter] Uhh.
So, I guess we should start the meeting.
Oh, I think we should have an extra after-show banana on hand just in case something happens to the first banana.
Okay.
But...
I think we should start the meeting by introducing ourselves.
Hi.
I'm Violet the eggplant.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Heh.
Well.
That's good— Hey, everybody What do we want to do for lunch?
Pretty hungry, right?
[crowd chatter] [Meep squeaks] Oh, couldn't agree more, Meep.
That should be the next thing.
No!
Lets vote on after-work bananas!
[Jason barks] (Director) We need more singing in the show.
[crowd chatter] Enough!
Now, I think if we want to get anything accomplished and keep things organized, we should make a list and number each thing one after another.
Otherwise, everything will be too confusing, and we won't be able to keep anything on track.
Milton, you are in charge of numbers.
Okey doke.
Uh, let's start with number 1: Why don't we all introduce ourselves?
[crowd chatter] Oh, guys.
Actually... you know what?
I think we should introduce ourselves one at a time.
You know, we can go aroun the room like a clock in order.
See?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7... ...8-9-10.
I can count to 10.
Good.
Okay.
Uhh... Well, why don't we start with chair #1?
Oh, thats me.
Im Mr. Clown.
Mm hmm.
And #2?
#2.
That's me.
Yall know me.
Milton.
Chair 3.
Chair 4... You know, all of our meetings have been going a lot smoother.
Numbering helps keep everything in order.
Now, item #2 in our super secret space is to go back and find out what Milto and Miss Information are up to.
10-4 Oh, is that another use of numbers?
It means “understood” in radio language.
Oh, I 10-4 completely.
That means I understand completely.
Let's go.
Oh.
Hi, Red.
Didn't expect you to still be here.
Oh.
Well, Ill be out of here in no time.
Im really gaining momentum now.
Take your time, Red.
[Red humming] ♪ Going to a picnic ♪ ♪ A picnic A picnic today ♪ ♪ See my family at— ♪ Let's see where Milton and Miss Information are.
Oh.
Good idea.
TV, to your station!
It's Milton's Magic Microphone!
With Miss Information!
[electronic music] Ooh.
Ahh.
We are in the ocean, which is one of the most beautiful and mysterious places on earth.
And thanks to my magic microphone, we're able to breathe.
Whoa!
This place is huge.
It sure is.
It covers over 70% of the Earth.
But oceans aren't just wide.
They're deep as well.
The ocean, on average, is a little over two miles deep.
The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean: seven miles deep.
It's deep, deep, deep.
And dark, dark, dark!
We're so deep, light can't penetrate the water, which makes the water down here very, very cold.
Oh, can we make our way to a brighter part of the ocean, please?
The world's oceans are important to all life on Earth.
And coral reefs like this one provide habitats for 25% of all marine life.
Huh.
The coral reef sounds pretty important.
Very, very important.
And they're important to ever size, shape, and color of fish.
Like this eel.
Woah.
That eel looks pretty hungry.
It does, doesn't it?
Ooh!
Oh, what a great opportunity to talk about the anatomy of an organism as unique as an eel.
Do you happen to know ho to get out of this eels anatomy Forward, Milton.
We go forward.
Better get moving, then.
Back to you, Mr. Clown!
(Red Mr. Clown!
I forgot directions to the picnic.
Oh, we'll bring it to you.
Don't move!
[Meep squeaks] Good idea, Meep.
The ocean has so many cool animals.
Oh, I forgot!
Fish in the ocean are animals!
Animals are everywhere!
Let's do “Guess the Animal.” But it can't be an eel, or I'll guess it right away.
You got it!
Welcome to Mr. Clowns “Guess the Animal.” That's where we reveal an animal, and you have to guess what it is.
Good luck!
Yay!
[Mr. Clown hums a fanfare] Hmm.
Interesting.
It looks like some sort of tail.
Maybe a mouse!
[buzzer] Nope.
Oh.
Of course.
That's a snail of some sort.
[buzzer] Okay.
Now, Mr. Clown, really think before guessing.
Hey!
Everyone watching?
Do you think you know what the animal is?
Guess your best guesses right now.
Hah!
You really know your animals.
Oh, I think it's a... Its a... Its a...
It's an alligator with eight tails!
[buzzer] What on earth is that?
It's an octopus!
Octopuses are sea animal famous for their rounded bodies, bulging eyes, and eight long arms.
They live in all the world's oceans but are especially abundant in warm, tropical waters.
Octopuses, like their cousins, the squid, are often considered “monsters of the deep,” though some species or types occupy relatively shallow waters.
And now, in honor of the animal being an octopus, Please welcome— all the way from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia— the Tiny Tentacles!
Yes!
- Wow.
And they will be leading us in our dance break.

[Red humming] Whoa!
Red, what are you doing here?
I thought you were at your family picnic.
Oh, yeah.
I was.
We got this family portrait done.
Yeah.
Some of us blinked.
Yeah, but the picnics over now.
They go by pretty fast.
We dont like to waste time.
Oh.
