Samuel L. Jackson s favorite word isnt going to fly on Sesame Street.

The actor discussed his time on the hit childrens show during an interview with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon on Friday.

Jackson, who had previously appeared in an online video for Sesame Street earlier this year to spoof his movie Snakes on a Plane, took part in a Word of the Day segment on the shows YouTube page last month.

The October video shows the Avengers star call for the Aveggies to assemble, as various vegetable-themed puppets arrange themselves behind him including a Thor-like character with a hammer made of corn.

Jackson told Fallon that a Sesame Street cameo had been on his bucket list, before joking that one not-safe-for-work word wouldnt fare well with the shows viewers.

You probably had to wash your mouth a little bit around the Muppets, Fallon remarked.

The Word of the Day couldnt be my favorite word, thats for sure, Jackson quipped, without further elaboration.

Watch more of Jacksons interview, which included a lightsaber duel, below.
