TIL when Big Bird appeared on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Mr. Rogers wanted to do a segment where Caroll Spinney would remove his Big Bird costume, demonstrate how the puppet worked, and talk about what it's like to play Big Bird. Spinney refused to do it, not wanting to ruin the illusion for kids.

TIL in 1976, Margaret Hamilton reprised her role as the Wicked Witch of the West for an episode of Sesame Street. Screenings showed kids were "exceptionally attentive" during scenes with the witch and their fear was difficult to judge. The episode was never re-run and became lost.

[TIL] that the Muppets first big break was on The Jimmy Dean Show (the sausage guy) from 1963-66. Rowlf the dog had a 7-10 minute spot with Jimmy every episode. Jim Henson was so grateful he offered Dean 40% of the Muppets, but he turned it down saying he didn't earn it.
