Meet Sesame Street's newest resident: Rudy

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

It's Sesame Street's newest characters, Abby Cadabby's step-brother, a little monster named Rudy. He sounds a lot like David Rudman, but according to Shane, he's played by Frankie Cordero (great to see him get a recurring character):

He kind of looks like Stuie Monster to me.

Who knows, maybe it's Stuie's grandson.

Conspiracy? I think not.....

Is Frankie a new guy, or is he somebody who's been in the background for a number of years and moving up in the ranks?

Either way, this is now making me curious about the dynamics of Abby's family: are her parents divorced and her mommy remarried or something? Come to think of it, I don't believe I remember her ever mentioning a daddy before. Makes you wonder.

He's been there for awhile.

And yeah, her parents are divorced. It was covered in a DTV thing (Yes, Sesame was eventually able to pull off the divorce concept.)

Okay, I admittedly never paid much attention to those Little Children, Big Challenges videos myself.

Who's the other orange monster at 0:11? Is that supposed to be someone in Abby's family or is it one of Rudy's friends?

Interesting little preview though. I got a chuckle at Oscar's comment at the end.

I assumed it must have been Rudy's dad/Abby's stepdad?
