Charachters who have been performed by 3 different people

[SesameStreetFan]

As you know, on Sesame Street almost every charachter with the exception of a few, has been played by 2 different people. Either because their original performer died, like in the case of Ernie and Jim Henson. Or the original performer left the show, or rarely works on SS anymore, like with Frank's 3 main charachters. But some charachters have been performed by 3 different puppeteers over the years. Here are the few that have had 3 different puppeteers.

Elmo: Brian Meehl (1979-1984) Richard Hunt (1984) Kevin Clash (1985-Present)

Clementine: Brian Meehl (1980-1984) Kevin Clash (1984-1987) Camile Bonroa (1987-1991)

Barkley: Brian Meehl (1978-1984) Fred Garbo (1984-1990) Bruce Connely (1990-Present)

Another character with three performers:

Ernie: Jim Henson (1969-1990), Steve Whitmire (1993-present), and John Tartiglia (Play With Me Sesame, season 2).

That's only two performers. I have read that Jim Martin sometimes performs oscar, but, unlike with Matt Vogel as Big Bird, Caroll Spinney still dubs the voice.

I think the Big Bad Wolf has been performed by several different people.

Yes. Jerry Nelson is his main performer, but in a few 80s News Flash skits, Kevin Clash did his voice. Joey Mazzarino also occasionally does his voice, too
