(YouTube)   With the passing of Sesame Street's Bob McGrath, let's look back at the time Bob had to explain Mr. Hooper's death to Big Bird. You're not crying, it's just the stench from Oscar the Grouch's garbage can   (youtube.com) divider line

Remember when Oscar was orange. Also remember the thread before this one.

Bob was always pleased that no one ever tied him to the death of Mr. Hooper. The 1970s were an easier time for murder.

Bob I think you were my favorite of all the adults on the show when I watched. Thanks for everything.

Looking at the size of the Big Bird costume, somewhere out there has to be a clip of the puppeteer inside tripping over part of the set he couldn't see, followed by  "Oh shiat!" on his way down.

I had a little Playskool Mr Hooper and I slept with it for a while after he died.

I have video of Snuffy knocking shiat over. That is the costume that really blinds the operators.

So jealous of those kids, getting their tiny minds blown away by that performance.

Also, pretty sure Ray Parker Jr is his guitarist there.
