Joey Calvan (the little girl who sang the alphabet with Kermit)

[fuzzygobo]

I remember Joey not only for her moment with Kermit, but roughly around the same time she and Snuffy recited the alphabet.
Snuffy needed help with his ABC's, and Bird wasn't around, so Joey stepped in. We found out Joey was six, (Snuffy said he was only four), and she held on to his snuffle, and she led him through the alphabet (no references to Cookie Monster, no kidding around, this was serious business!).

They make it through, Joey gives Snuffy a kiss on the snuffle and runs off. So sweet.

So she'll be serious with Snuffy but not with Kermit. That's something to think about. But since Snuffy was considered 'imaginary' around the time, I guess she felt for him and wanted to take him seriously.

Or maybe she was afraid of what someone as big as Snuffy might do if she did the same as she did to Kermit.

Oh, I doubt that. While Kermit always had a good heart, he is pretty notorious for losing his cool at times. While Snuffy's always been a big softie. The only time I've really seen him get mad was in the Miles adoption episode when Big Bird left him to help with Miles. I may be getting a bit off subject there, but I just thought I'd point that out.

Hello. I was just watching the Sesame Street 20th anniversary special (20 And Still Counting) the other night -- I hadn't really sat down and watched the whole thing since it originally aired. Anyway, they included a few of those "Muppet and kid moments" and in a couple cases (Herry and John-John, and a scene with Kermit and two young girls) they actually had these kids come on as adults (or however old they were in 1989) and John-John even counted with Herry again as an adult "for old times sake." They showed the clip of Kermit and Joey singing the alphabet -- I'm sure you know the one, "Q - R- Cookie Monster" with the letters of the alphabet superimposed on the screen, and they even made a graphic of Cookie Monster to be used in that scene. It's a great clip! Anyway, it got me curious because unlike the others, Joey did not make a current (1989) appearance in the special. I'm just curious about what happened to her, if she is still living, etc. I looked on line and at least was able to identify her as Joey Calvan. But I suppose if she wanted to be "found" she would have appeared on one of these retrospectives or done some kind of interviews somewhere along the way, right?

she is alive gordon nothing to worry about she has a facebook account under the name joy galvan thanking all of her fans that still remembers her. Strange it seems she replied that at 2011. But she said that if we join her group she will be more than willing to chat with us.

Remember, most of the children from Sesame Street didn't become stars or big names or anything after they finished on the show, John John was in the military which is why most people know him but Joey would be harder to find

Now John John is a sex offender.

Now John John is a sex offender.

oh yeah, I heard about that, didn't he molest a little girl or something?

I thought John-John was somewhat more well-known because his segments seem to be some of the shows most memorable when it comes to segments with children.
