Did Zach Braff swear at Elmo in 2009? We’re 99% sure he did. The problem is, we can’t find the video anymore. So, did it happen? Let’s discuss.

It's hard to calculate just how many lives this man touched over the years. Thank you for your gift, Emilio Delgado as Luis on Sesame Street. Rest in peace.

"Sing" is one of Sesame Street's most iconic songs.
Did you know that it was first performed in Spanish and English?

I was today years old when I learned that Jim Henson performed Oscar the Grouch for at least one episode of Sesame Street.

Big Bird clumsily clotheslining himself was a pretty common "gag" in the early years of Sesame Street.

J.K. Simmons is pretty great in just about everything he does.

What are the odds of this? Elmo's feud with Zoe's pet rock has been going viral over the past 48 hours, and it just so happens that today is the 23rd anniversary of Rocco's first appearance. Serendipity!

Back in 2005, we had an idea: let's make a Wikipedia, but for the Muppets.
17 years ago today, Muppet Wiki launched. Since that time, hundreds of fans and professionals have come together to build the best resource about Jim Henson.
A huge thanks to all of you for contributing.
PSA: these are 2 different Muppets
One is who first appeared on Sam and Friends in 1955. You've seen him a lot since then including #TheMuppetShow and
The other is Wilkins, created for a series of coffee commercials by Jim Henson beginning in 1957.

Something happens to you when you unexpectedly come across a Joe Mathieu illustration.
🌅 One year before the adults on Sesame Street would see Mr. Snuffleupagus with their own eyes, three of them decided to place their faith in Big Bird and believe that his friend Snuffy was real. This is a really powerful scene from the 1984 premiere....

Jon Stone was born on this day in 1931. The original head writer for Sesame Street, he suggested the show be set on an inner city street (rather than a suburb or some fantastical location), which allegedly made creator Joan Ganz Cooney turn several shades paler.

The next scene in this episode features Mr. Snuffleupagus telling Big Bird that he already got his shot, but he missed out on getting a balloon. The exchange that follows is an early rare occurrence of an adult seeing Snuffy...

The Simpsons still going strong after 35 years. Lucky for them, they worked with Grover, or else no one might ever have heard of them.
