Sesame Street Day - November 10th

Corrections: 7:39 It’s Luis, not Louis. L-U-I-S, it’s spelled that way because he’s Mexican-American. Also, 8:32 Bob McGrath didn’t retire, he, along with Gordon’s longtime portrayer Roscoe Orman, Emilio Delgado (Luis), Loretta Long (Susan) and Alison Bartlett O’Reilly (Gina) inevitably left the show in 2015 because the writers didn’t have enough money in the budget to give their characters roles in street stories. Also, 10:01 Leela is an Indian-American woman, not South Asian-American

Thank you for the information. I typically use two sources to verify. They're not always 100% correct.

@whatistodayvideos Just curious, who is your favorite Sesame Street Muppet and who is your favorite Sesame Street human?

[@whatistodayvideos]

@@pbsfundingaddict790 I always liked Mr. Hooper. I actually remember the episode when they made a tribute to his passing. That was decades ago. Crazy! Favorite Muppet I would say Kermit just because he's so iconic and I used to watch the Muppet Show and all the movies as a kid. How about yours?

[@pbsfundingaddict790]

@whatistodayvideos Kermit is mostly a Muppet Show character, not a Sesame Street character. Anyway, my favorite Sesame Street Muppet is Telly because I relate to his constant anxiety and purple is my favorite color although he looks pink in most merchandise. And my favorite Sesame Street human is Alan because I’ve enjoyed his presence in street stories the most and because his job at Hooper’s Store makes me hungry, not to mention his uncle, mentor-like relationship with the Sesame Street Muppets
