Hippie
PERFORMER various
DEBUT 1969

A nameless bearded hippie character appeared during the first season of Sesame Street, often accompanied by other Anything Muppet hippies.

The character has had various performers on the show, including Caroll Spinney (in Kermit's "Hair" lecture), Frank Oz (in "Good Morning Starshine"), and Jim Henson in "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", the "forward and backward sketch and the original "first and last sketch (his most notable speaking role).

The character was also seen in some early season closings, holding up the Sesame Street and CTW signs.

The puppet is reworked from the early Grump (used in The Ed Sullivan Show sketches and the Sesame Street Pitch Reel), dressed in a shaggy brown beard and a pair of glasses.
