PERFORMER Jim Henson
DEBUT 1988
PATTERN Orange Gold

The Captain of the Spaceship Surprise leads his crew from planet to planet in search of surprise in a series of Sesame Street segments.

Whenever the excited captain reminds his not so adventurous assistant that they're looking for surprises, confetti goes flying. Despite being enthusiastic, however, the captain is also rather cowardly. He has a tendency to duck low whenever the natives of the surprise planets approach. He is often addressed ironically as "brave captain" by his assistant whenever he catches him cowering.

The captain bears a strong physical and vocal resemblance to Guy Smiley, but with brown hair and eyebrows.
