This phrase is from Sesame Street, a children's show created in 1969 that teaches literacy, counting, simple logic, and social skills through a kaleidoscopic mix of puppetry, animation and short films. In a radical departure for the time, it was designed to deliberately mimic the fast pace and style of TV advertising in order to 'sell' learning to kids: An Aesop-friendly story featuring the recurring characters on the Street would be intercut with rapid-fire 'commercials' for that day's 'sponsors' ("Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letters A and S, and the number 7...").
"Today's episode of Sesame Street has been brought to you by the letters A and S, and the number 7."
In an homage to Sesame Street, which is sponsored every day by two letters and a number, one episode of The Simpsons was sponsored by one symbol and one number that looks like a letter: “Tonight’s Simpsons episode was brought to you by the symbol umlaut, and the number e. Not the letter e, but the number, whose exponential function is the derivative of itself.”

Get the lester mug.Something "red letter" (as in the famous lyric from Aladdin) is something that deserves extra attention.

Get the Red letter mug.A greeting, usually given to a new female employee at Lester's Clothing Store, in which the male employees bring the new cashier to the basement, surround her in a circle, and ejaculate onto her.
We gave this girl the biggest Lester's Hello I've ever seen. She ran out of the basement screaming and hasn't been back to work since. I can't wait until we get a new cashier.
