I think the craziest thing is how long he was active in the role. He was performing Big Bird (full time) from the debut of the character all the way until 2015. Yeah, that couldn’t have been an easy feat Sesame Street Caroll Spinney Thank You For The Memories 1933 2019 Signature shirt sweater. Especially considering how big bird is done. For those that don’t know, there was a harness to support the costume with a monitor inside so he could see, one hand in an arm, left I think, and his other hand reaching up to the head of the puppet to operate the face. That’s basically one arm at full extension all the time for the performance.

I was a puppeteer for a few years and it is so much harder than people realize. Just hold your hand above your head for 15 minutes. It starts to feel like your hand weighs 50 lbs. Now imagine doing that activity with a fluid weight on your arm intermittently for hours at a time. This dude was in a suit doing this for 50 years. Oscar’s grouchiness was probably all ad-lib. God that scene messed up my head the first time I watched Sesame Street Caroll Spinney Thank You For The Memories 1933 2019 Signature shirt sweater. I honestly rewound and watched it again to make sure it was really happening and not in my mind.

I got to play Trekkie for Avenue Q for a local theatre company, and while it was extremely fun, Sesame Street Caroll Spinney Thank You For The Memories 1933 2019 Signature shirt sweater definitely was a lot of work, and I think the way Trekkie is setup makes him one of the easier puppets to do. And he’s not on stage for the whole thing, so lots of breaks. I already respected puppeteers, but rather a bit more after getting to do that. A lot of full body Muppets are like that. Sweetums on the Muppet show had one moving arm most of the time, the other operated his mouth. They tend to hide it well by either tucking the arm up against the body or making it hold something that basically conceals the rest, like Sweetums holding a round shield while singing Wagnerian Opera with John Cleese.
