Sesame Street Characters

26. Gonger:

He joined the cast in the 48th season. He previously appeared in The Furchester Hotel. In the "Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck" segment, he works with Cookie Monster to take food orders from children. The character of Gonger is played by Warrick Brownlow-Pike.

25. Curly Bear:

She first appeared on Sesame Street in the 34th season. She is Baby Bear's sister. Unlike the other bears in the family, Curly Bear does not like porridge. But she's definitely one of the cutest characters on Sesame Street.

24. Dorothy:

Dorothy is not really a Muppet character. But she should have been on this list. Because she is a character we know from the Elmo's World series. Dorothy has a great imagination and can imagine Elmo as a different character every time. An excellent talent. 

23. Baby Bear:

Baby Bear appears on Sesame Street in the 1990s. This cute bear can't pronounce R sounds properly. An art-loving bear and Curly Bear's older brother, he made this list.

 

22. Prairie Dawn:

Prairie Dawn is one of the oldest characters on the show. She has been on Sesame Street since Season 2. Luckily for her, the Muppets don't age. Prairie Dawn wrote and directed plays for her classmates in the classic Sesame Street episodes. In the "Letter of the Day" episodes in seasons 33 and 35, she tried to stop Cookie Monster from eating the letter of the day. Did she succeed? Not a chance.

21. Rocco:

Rocco is a rock. Ovv that's too harsh. He is Zoe's favorite rock. Zoe believes that Rocco talks and lives. That's why Elmo often warns Zoe that she's just a rock. In one episode, Cookie Monster almost ate him. Be careful, Rocco!

20. Rudy:

Rudy is a cute orange monster with little horns. He is Abby Cadabby's stepbrother. He was first seen in season 47. Episode 4731 is called "Hello Rudy" and it's the first episode we know about him.

19. Two-Headed Monster:

What would it be like if you had two heads? "We have to go right." "No, you idiot, we're going left." The two-headed monster usually appears behind a wall. This is because the puppeteers who perform it are in a somewhat difficult situation. The Two-Headed Monster often demonstrates the meaning of words.

18. Julia:

Julia is undoubtedly one of the most meaningful characters on Sesame Street. A close friend of Elmo and Abby, she is a girl with autism. She shows us that autism is not a disease, it's just a little difference. Julia is first seen in episode 4715, "Meet Julia," and she has a toy bunny that she loves very much. You are amazing Julia and we are always with you!

17. Rosita:

Hola :) Rosita is a turquoise monster who came to us from Mexico. Rosita, who also speaks English, is a character from Sesame Street who taught us Spanish and made us love Spanish. She presents the Spanish word of the day. She loves to play the guitar. Rosita's Abuela is another well known and loved character.

16. Rubber Duckie:

Rubber Duckie is Ernie's pet duck. He is often the main theme in Ernie's songs. It is not just a toy, but a friend. But not as close a friend as Bert. "Oh, rubber ducky, you are the one. / You make bath time lots of fun..." la la la laaaaaaa :)

15. Mr. Snuffleupagus:

His friends call him Snuffy. He joined the cast of characters in Season 3 of Sesame Street. He gets along well with Big Bird. In the early seasons of the show, he is known to the human characters as the imaginary Muppet of Big Bird's dreams. He meets adults for the first time in season 17, and it turns out that Snuffy wasn't a dream. He is played by 2 puppeteers because of his huge body. Glad you're with us, big friend!

14. Telly Monster:

Telly gets his name from the word for television. He was originally conceived as a monster addicted to television. However, as this was pedagogically wrong, the character was changed. Telly gained popularity when Big Bird actor Caroll Spinney injured her foot and Big Bird was out of the show during this time. Telly Monster is a Muppet who loves triangles and is often insecure and anxious. He owns a hamster named Chuckie Sue. And Telly's excited mood is very likeable!

13. Murray Monster:

Murray was first called the "Orange Monster" on the show. He hosted the "What's the Word on the Street" segment. He participated in the segment "Murray Has a Little Lamb" with their lamb named Ovejita. With the effect of the changed format after 2015, he retired from the active Muppet cast of the series. We miss you, Murray. Maybe one day you will join us again :(

12. Zoe:

Zoe, another orange monster from Sesame Street, has been in the cast since season 25. Zoe, who loves ballet and dancing, sometimes wears a tutu. She has an imaginary friendship with her rock named Rocco. She is the idol of preschool girls who love to dance and move.

11. Guy Smiley:

Guy Smiley is known for his game shows on Sesame Street. He is orange-gold in color. He is one of the oldest characters on the show, first appearing in 1969. Some of the shows he has hosted include "What's My Part?" , "Beat the Time" , "Name That Sound!" , "The Mr. and Mrs. Game" , "The Matching Game" , "Double Get Wordy" , "Hurry Up! You're running out of time!" , "The Big Trip" , "Estimation Vacation" , "The Waiting Game" , "Make it Fit" , "What's My Job?" ...etc. It's really a pleasure to watch your shows, Guy!

10. Count von Count:

Normally, we are all afraid of vampires. But this vampire is so cute and has changed the way we look at vampires. Count von Count, also known as The Count, was added to the series in season 4. No, he doesn't want blood, he just wants to count things all the time. Counting has become an obsession for him. Sesame Street doesn't officially say he's a vampire. Another difference from the vampires we know is that he loves sunlight. Oh yeah, nobody would want the Count to vaporize, would they?

9. Abby Cadabby:

Abby Cadabby was added to the show in the 37th season. Her name comes from the word "abracadabra" used to perform magic. She gained popularity with the shows "Abby's Flying Fairy School" and "Abby's Amazing Adventures". Sometimes her spells caused problems and she had to fight to fix everything. Some fans say that Abby is Elmo's girlfriend. Abracadabra, Hocus Pocus, Zippity-zap!

8. Grover:

Another classic Sesame Street character, Grover has been around since 1970. Grover has a multifaceted personality: Waiter Grover, Super Grover, Global Grover, Marshal Grover... Grover was very close friends with Kermit when he was cast. The main reasons why children love him are because of his amazing imagination and because he is always helping someone.

7. Bert:

One of the most serious characters on the show. Ernie is his best friend. Bert has a very serious personality. Ernie, on the other hand, is his opposite, playful and always looking for fun. The conflict between these two characters makes for some hilarious situations. His favorite motto is: Life is hard with Ernie, but life is harder without Ernie.

6. Ernie:

One of the most entertaining and humorous characters on the show. Ernie is Bert's best friend and roommate. When Bert is busy with something, Ernie is always trying to seduce him. When Bert wants to sleep, he doesn't put him to sleep, but Ernie does. You know, sometimes we like to gently tease a dear friend. That's the instinct in Ernie's behavior. Ernie also likes Rubber Duckie and sings songs for him.

5. Oscar the Grouch:

The right word to describe him would be extraordinary. Oscar the Grouch lives in a garbage can and never complains because he loves garbage. As you can tell from his name, he has a grumpy personality. He and Grundgetta the Grouch got engaged, but broke it off because they were afraid of being happy. Oscar also states that he doesn't like Telly and Elmo. He's like a grumpy old man, and it's impossible to please him!

4. Big Bird:

Big Bird is a big yellow bird. He has been in the show since the very first episode. He is usually a misunderstood Muppet. However, he does not complain about the situation. He accepts himself the way he is and is at peace with himself. Definitely a good role model for children! His creator, Jim Henson, died in 1990.

3. Cookie Monster:

Cookie Monster is the always hungry character of the street. He loves cookies, but not only cookies. He has eaten letters, numbers, and even tried to eat a rock. He makes a lot of noise when he eats. At the beginning of the series, his name was Alistair Cookie. Cookie Monster is one of the most popular characters on Sesame Street. However, it would be better if he ate a little healthier.

2. Kermit the Frog:

Kermit the Frog is one of the old Muppet characters of the series. He was the host of the Sesame Street News Flash. And he sang the classic song "Being Green". Sesame Street didn't own all the rights. So he did not become a permanent Muppet on the street. Still, it was necessary to add the old friend to this list.

1. Elmo:

He is number one on the list. Speaking in the third person, Elmo is the most popular Muppet character on the show. Kevin Clash did a lot to make him so beloved. After Clash, Ryan Dillon picked up where he left off. Elmo even has a show called "The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo", which he currently hosts himself. The "Elmo's World" series is still an important segment for children with its old and new versions. He also starred in Elmo the Musical. It's hard to fit his popularity into this list. After all, you all know him well.
