Kraft recently teased a spotter change involving Christopher Bell before it was publicly announced, prompting Wallace to joke that Kraft himself was on the chopping block for the No. 23 team. The ongoing humor reached another level when Wallace appeared on the set of Sesame Street, where Kraft quipped that Wallace and Oscar the Grouch resembled each other, a comment that perfectly captured their bantering spirit.
