The Three Little Pigs
From Muppet Wiki
The Three Little Pigs are the noted house-builders of fairy tale fame, who have frequently appeared on Sesame Street. Perhaps best remembered for their appearances on Sesame Street News Flash segments, the pigs often come into conflict with the Big Bad Wolf. They are not to be confused with the Five Little Piggies, the quintet of toe counting fame who live elsewhere in the forest; like their fellow porkers, however, the Three Little Pigs have on occasion said "wee wee wee" all the way home.
The pigs also appeared in The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street, constantly interrupting Grover's poem about Kermit.
In Episode 4149, Abby Cadabby calls the three little pigs on her "cell wand" where they reveal that their names are Iggy, Wiggy and Melvin.
The pigs have been performed by various puppeteers, including David Rudman, Kevin Clash, Frank Oz, Joey Mazzarino, Martin Robinson, Eric Jacobson, Richard Hunt, and Stephanie D'Abruzzo.
