One of the greats. Great people, great message, great sets, great acting, fantastic animation, delightful puppetry, clever lyrics, and REAL diversity.
He must have been very disheartened to see that Sesame Street devolved into an unintelligible furry red fool, whose boyish "character" consisted of making strings of nonsensical grammatical errors, surrounded by balding, clownish, unkempt creeps of one sort or another, all-
ALL
played by hyperactive AIDS-addled homosexuals in front of the same sad, sickly green-screen set.

WHDH-TV 5.Youtube video of a Bozo show
from ‘66 shows him in costume as Mr
Lion, taking a kid’s name and turning it into an animal drawing.When he spoke in the clip he sounded a bit like Big Bird.

“No one was really sure what Big Bird would taste like. But the bulging eyes and gruesome smiles were betting heavily on TURKEY.”

Sesame street is the initial exposure to leftist indoctrination for most kids.

So wait, how did BB and OTG talk to each other in so many episodes?

Good question. Wonder if they used split screens.
