H. Ross Parrot

H. Ross Parrot was a character on Sesame Street who spoofed the Reform Party presidential candidate H. Ross Perot. He first appeared in the spring of 1993, telling viewers: "Now what we got here is a great big alphabet. It's just sitting here and nobody's saying it. That's a shame. So let's say the alphabet together, because together we can do it."

When the character was first announced in early 1993, Perot was quoted in Newsweek magazine: "I'm sure that parrot thinks he's much better looking than I am."
