WASHINGTON — The man who helped bring “Sesame Street” to a global audience for the past 11 years will take over as president and chief executive of NPR, the public radio network announced Sunday. Gary Knell, longtime president and CEO of Sesame Workshop, will start at NPR on Dec. 1. Knell succeeds Vivian Schiller, who resigned under pressure in March after a former NPR fundraiser was caught on camera calling the Tea Party racist.
