“Sesame Street” is losing a few longtime residents and fans are not happy.
The show, which recently moved from PBS to HBO, is letting go cast members Emilio Delgadgo (Luis), Roscoe Orman (Gordon) and Bob McGrath. The three — second, fifth and sixth from the left in the above picture — have each been with the show for over 30 years. Needless to say, fans of the children’s series were displeased.
“‘Sesame Street’ you break my heart. I learn the English from the Bob. I suplex the Big Bird if I ever see him!” former pro wrestler The Iron Sheik tweeted.
