Getting a degree, being on Sesame Street... those were like real accomplishments to me.

We were only allowed to watch Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers and 3-2-1 Contact!

I expect a zombie to show up on 'Sesame Street' soon, teaching kids to count.

Most people don't hold a job for 45 years. They pass on or want to retire. I don't want to retire. My real goal is to do 50 years on 'Sesame Street,' and I only got 4-and-a-half years to go.

I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.

'Sesame Street' was a pioneering educational T.V. show, intended to help underprivileged children. But even those of us middle-class kids spoilt for pedagogical choice couldn't get enough of it.
