Telly Monster

 Performer: Brian Muehl (1979-1984) Marty Robinson (1984-Present)



Telly Monster is a slightly neurotic young monster.

In Telly's initial appearances on Sesame Street, he was obsessed with watching television. This one-note personality was soon dropped, and Telly became the worrying, easily frustrated character he remains today.

Telly is often seen in the company of his good friend Baby Bear. He has a great love of triangles, and owns a pet hamster named Chuckie Sue. Telly is one of the Grouchketeers.

During the years that Brian Muehl performed Telly, he was somewhat subservient to Oscar, and didn't have a whole lot of dimension, until Marty Robinson took over the role.

Telly has appeared in videos such as Learning About Letters, Bedtime Stories And Songs, and We All Sing Together, as well as in both Sesame Street movies (Follow That Bird and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland).
