In 1988, Nader appeared on ''[[Sesame Street]]'' as "a person in your neighborhood", the episode also featuring [[Barbara Walters]] and [[Martina Navratilova]]. Nader's appearance on the show was memorable because it was the only time that the grammar of the last line of the song{{snd}} "a person that you meet each day"{{snd}} was questioned and changed. Nader refused to sing a line which he deemed grammatically improper, so a compromise was reached by which Nader sang the last line solo, with the modified words: "a person ''whom'' you meet each day."<ref>{{cite book |first=David |last=Borgenicht |title=Sesame Street Unpaved: Scripts, Stories, Secrets, and Songs |orig-date=1998 |year=2002 |isbn=1-4028-9327-2}}</ref>
