He often wants a job. One problem of job: He eats items other than cookies and gets the sack from every job. When he worked on a farm, he ate the milk and farm animals. When he was a postman, he ate a pillar box: "AWM-num-num-num-yum-num-num-num". When he was a bus conductor he was given a cookie but ate the cookie, the bus and all the passengers: "AWM-num-num-num-num-num-num-num-num-num-yum-num-num".

Though he can be intimidating to others, Frazzle has emotions like the rest of us do, as expressed in his eponymous song, "Frazzle." However, since his snarls and roars sound identical, regardless of his mood, the song required skilled interpreters, in the form of the Frazzletones.

(2003) The Big Bad Wolf's bongo-playing brother.

Unlike Big Bad, Leonard is thoughtful and interested in many different things. "I am a wolf, but I don't huff and puff, like my brother does! Just because one wolf huffs and puffs, it doesn't mean all wolves do...I don't always do the same thing as my brother! I'm not a huffer and puffer. Why, I don't even chase pigs! I do play canasta with them every Thursday. And that's not all! On Tuesdays, I practice the violin. On Wednesdays, chess – followed by tai chi! Yes, there's lots of things to do if you're not so busy huffing and puffing."

Little Bird Jim Henson (1969-1970) Fran Brill (1970-present)
(1969–1970) A little bird, presumably a canary. He was a counterpart/foil to Big Bird. Although Little Bird was often referred to as a "she" because of the female performer, Fran Brill, in 1969 where he was performed Jim Henson, the character appears on the Grin and Giggle with Big Bird LP with Big Bird in a song called "Mr. Big Bird, Mr. Little Bird".

Although Little Bird appeared on Sesame Street most often during the 1970s, appearances were frequently made in books throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Little Bird also made a few cameo appearances during the 1980s and 1990s. On-screen appearances include a brief fly-by in the song "Do Wop Hop", sitting at Birdland in "The Birdland Jump", and singing a line in "We Are All Earthlings".

She was actually a refurbishment of the Kenner Gooney Bird, the Muppet mascot of Kenner Toys. Her birthday is December 17.
Little Jerry and the Monotones Jerry Nelson, Christopher Cerf, Richard Hunt and Jeff Moss
(1970-2000) A rock group with Little Jerry as the frontman, backed by Lavender, Pumpkin and Fat Blue Anything Muppets, usually known as Chrissy, Rockin' Richard and Big Jeffy. All members of the band are named after the people who performed their original (and primary) voices: Jerry Nelson was Little Jerry, Christopher Cerf was Chrissy, Richard Hunt was Rockin' Richard, and Jeff Moss was Big Jeffy. On occasions, the names and voices for the members (often being the latter two) were swapped (for example, Rockin' Richard would go by with Big Jeffy's voice and name), or sometimes due to a performer's departure from the show or an early appearance before the performer joined the workshop. There were usually four members of the band, but an extra member (a nameless purple Anything Muppet) appeared in the song "A Body Full of Rhythm".
Luis Rodriguez Emilio Delgado
(1971–) Latin-American neighborhood repairman. He owned the Fix-It Shop with his wife, Maria. Later in the series, he often disguised himself as Senor Cero (a parody of Zorro).

Her first Street-scene was part of a monster daycare group that stopped at Hooper's Store. She introduced herself to Alan, shaking his hand vigorously, and pointing out her name tag.

At least part of the reason that the character was short lived was Stephanie D'Abruzzo's commitments to the Broadway musical Avenue Q.

Sam the Robot is the only robot on Sesame Street. He always tries to do things right, and even insists that he is perfect, but he always does things wrong.

He first went on an adventure with Big Bird in "The Golden Cabbage of Snuffertiti" with Bob and Minneapolis (an Indiana Jones parody).
Sonny Friendly Richard Hunt
(1986–1992, 1996-2000) Game show host.

However, two years after Jim's death, Richard also died. In 1996, David Rudman took over the character for a few final skits. In a 1969 sketch, Pick Your Pet, it was also clear that Guy Smiley was originally known as Sonny Friendly.

The Two-Headed Monster Peter Friedman, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Joey Mazzarino and David Rudman
The Two-Headed Monster is a comical, light purple monster on the show. It has two heads that speak with a heavy accent and sometimes talk as if they're speaking another language, though it may just be gibberish. Their primary role is to demonstrate opposites. In recent seasons they "assist" Big Bird in his search for Ernie during their hide and seek game called "Journey to Ernie". The heads generally discuss amongst themselves, and each of the monsters' arms point in a different direction. Then, the heads often debate and the arms switch directions as they say "that way," and then swap back again. Created when a writer noticed Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt, the character's original performers, were goofing off imitating a monster with two heads, which led to the design of the character.

In The How Many Game, hosted by Guy Smiley, it was said that their names were Frank & Stein. Sesame Workshop itself does not generally acknowledge this as part of canon. The two sang "Hi De Ho Man" with guest star Cab Calloway.
The Twiddlebugs
The Twiddlebugs (Timmy, Tessie, Thomas, and Tina) live outside of Ernie and Bert's window in a flowerbox. They are Anything Muppets which are placed among supersized props to make them look tiny. Twiddlebug segments typically involve solving some sort of problem, for example getting to the zoo in less than three days. They appeared primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, but their segments were known to repeat into the 1990s. They resurfaced in 2007 as computer-generated characters in the episode "Zoe, Telly, & Rosita Play House."
Two Blue Monster Steve Whitmire and Stephanie D'Abruzzo
(1998) In Super Morphin Mega Monster, He tag the two blue monster. Merry Monster playing tag, yellow fur. Male Monster saying "You want a play tag?" Merry saying "Yeah?" Female Monster saying "But all your ask?" Merry saying "Yeah?"
