Rita Rudner Puts COVID Twist On Dr. Seuss Classic For School Kids

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA —As some students prepare to return to campus, anxiety for parents and teachers is rising with coronavirus concerns. Knowing this, the Capistrano Unified School District enlisted the help of Comedian Rita Rudner.

Rudner shared a unique re-telling of the Dr. Seuss favorite "Green Eggs And Ham" story with a coronavirus twist.

In the video seen above, Rudner changes up the words to the tale acting as "Sam I Am" as she washes her hands here, there, and everywhere.

Fans of the classic children's book will get a kick out of the cadence and reading, especially from a comedian of Rudner's caliber.

Rudner, a Laguna Beach resident and world-renowned comedic actress most recently, Rudner appeared in "Barefoot in the Park" in February at the Laguna Playhouse. That stage remains shuttered during coronavirus.

Now, she turns her star power to entertain and enlighten young students, parents, and school administrations with the special public service reminder.

The district offered a big "thank you!" to Rudner for participating in the short video designed to welcome back all Capistrano Unified School District students.
