The Actors Inside Famous Costumes
It’s hard to admit this to our inner Sesame Street kids, but there’s a human inside Big Bird. Always has been, always will be. The heartwarming part? It’s still Caroll Spinney after all these years.

And it’s gonna be you. Get it? Because I’m gonna call right before bed and be all creepy!
