Questions about 'What's My Part? - foot'

[Saginaw]

About the Classic Sesame Street 'What's My Part? - foot' segment, can anyone identify the dialect spoken by "Mr. Foot"? I'm guessing that it's New York-based, but is it Brooklynese, Queens, Long Island, etc.?

Also, has Jerry Nelson, who performed as "Mr. Foot", ever mentioned that he already had the talent to write with his foot, or did he have to practice to do that?

Thanks, all!

If I'm not mistaken, I would have to say that the Foot had a Brooklynese accent.

Hope this helps.
