If you count them all, this sentence has exactly seventy-two characters.
Matt Vogel does these characters now, so they're not going anywhere?

Edit: Correction, Eric Jacobson does Oscar the Grouch.

So um, this is what it says on WIki

"Spinney died at his home in Woodstock, Connecticut, on December 8, 2019, at the age of 85 where he took his last breath in the Big Bird suit."

Thats gotta be a joke right?

Yes, I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting curving path, that actually leads to a charming block garden, but beyond that evil!

I’m giggling like an idiot, it’s sad and funny. I was talking about Sesame Street just the other day for like the first time in decades, the back in the day era of Sesame Street, Mr Rogers was like feel good positive time. I’ll miss that bird.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

There's no way Caroll Spinney didn't know that Kevin Clash was a closeted gay man who was chasing underaged tail while his wife and children lived a lie, it was an open secret among the entire Childrens Television Workshop/Jim Henson Company and he was especially close to the man. Just a lil something to think about.
