I was watching TV Guide Channel last night (hey, my Comcast was off, I didn't know what was on, and didn't have anything to watch), and they were interviewing "Game Show Millionares". They were speaking with a Jeopardy millionare, and in addition to learning so much over the years, he said the best part of his life was being on Sesame Street. They then showed a behind-the-scenes footage of Big Bird and that mallard duck that pops up from time to time (recently popped up as "Igor" in A Celebration of Me, Grover". The shot was from outside Big Bird's doors, so I couldn't see clearly who the muppeteer of the duck was. And the close up of him was a back shot, so that didn't help any. Anyone know who this muppeteer was?

Maybe it was John Tartaglia, he had short dark hair like him.

Short dark hair, huh? My guesses would be any of the following:

John Tartaglia
Eridc Jacobson
Paul Mcginnis

Hmm, I know there's someone I'm forgetting... :confused:

It couldn't of been Eric, he has shaggy hair. And I don't think Peter works on Sesame.
