Perhaps the most under appreciated Muppet on Sesame Street, poor Telly is probably the Sesame Street character with the most screen time and the least amount of merchandise. It’s a crying shame that Telly doesn’t get more love outside of the show, because he is hysterical. Martin P. Robinson, Telly’s performer, is immensely talented and gives Telly such lovely neuroses. I adore Telly when he interacts with almost every character. He’s a slightly older kid who can be a sort of leader with the other Muppets, but a leader so adept that he is always worrying. Telly is also delightful with the adults, especially Gordon. He’s a wonderful character who deserves all the love
