There’s a good chance you have at least seen Sesame Street Muppets if you have lived in America in the past 40 years. Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the gang are among the most beloved characters of television, and luckily, that isn’t lost on the people who work on the show. We spoke with producers Benjamin Lehmann, Justin Simonich, Ian Chernichaw, and senior director of content at the Sesame Workshop Autumn Zitani, about the joys of being on set with these characters.
