Jerry Nelson "Count Tribute"

[Phillip]

This Thursday, Sesame Street will be airing a very special episode honoring beloved Muppeteer Jerry Nelson. Jerry Nelson, most famous for Sesame Street characters The Count, Herry Monster and Mr. Johnson ("Fat Blue") passed away last year.

In the street story, The Count wins an award for counting, but may miss the ceremony due to a counting emergency in Chicago. Tune in to this very special episode Thursday on your local PBS station and let us know your thoughts.

You can also hear the music of Jerry Nelson all-day this Thursday on Muppet Central Radio.
