Where do you think Oscar is from?

[Vic Romano]

I've been listening to Muppet Central Radio a lot lately and concentrating on the voices, and I've noticed Oscar has a very definate accent. It's not typically like a Brooklyn accent, although he has that city vibe in his voice. I can't tell if it's more Cali or even South Jersey. Is there anyone who hears that or something else in his voice that might indicate he moved to Sesame Street from somewhere else?

Oscar's from Grouchland, but Caroll got the voice from a NYC cab driver who drove him to the studio one fine day in 1969.

Where is Caroll from?

Well, according to that segment on the "Today Show," Carroll lives in Connecticut.
