I love all of the Sesame Street characters still, even though I'm fourteen. I used to watch the show as a toddler and I think that they're all adorable :)
While no one can replace Caroll Spinney, Eric Jacobson did a pretty great job playing Oscar. After all, he did succeed Frank Oz as the voices of Bert and Grover.
Is this Caroll Spinney or Eric Jacobsen? I know Spinneys not doing the puppeteer work, but who's doing the voice? If it's Eric, his impression is spot on!
Dear Ellen I am Fatima I am 9 years old And I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!! I live in Canada I wish I was like sophia grace because that is how she became famous you made her famous I wish I could come to your show but school just came I wish you could surprise me but I also live in a building this my dream and I know you like to make dreams come true so hopefully you can do it
He does still perform Oscar sometimes, but he's 84 and has a disease that makes puppeteering very difficult and in something like this, you can't pre-record the dialogue and have someone else puppeteer, so it makes sense how Eric Jacobson's playing him.
It's Eric Jacobson here. Carol Spinney still plays him sometimes, but he can't lip sync something live and he has a disease that makes puppeteering hard, so his understudy Eric Jacobson had to do it.
@@benmellors1622 Nah, Carol Spinney does Oscar, as well as Big Bird. Frank Oz did (and occasionally still does do) Bert, Grover and Cookie Monster, as well as a few others.
Ellen DeGeneres is another comedian (another female human version of Fozzie Bear) besides Teri Garr from the New School for Grouch Research episode of Sesame Street who interracted with Oscar.
Oh, come now, Oscar.....I have seen you be VERY kind on Sesame Street. Like when Maria had her baby.....you called her to be sure she was OK after little Gabriella was born. And when Big Bird went missing in Follow That Bird. You went with the grownups to help save him. And when you had to babysit little Natasha? You sat there ALL DAY with her, letting her kiss you and kept her safe until her Daddy came back. I think under that touch, grouchy exterior you have a VERY kind heart.
