Herry Monster

{talk}



Herry Monster is a monster who doesn't know his own strength.

Herry first appeared on Sesame Street in 1970, replacing the Beautiful Day Monster. In his first appearances, Herry's nose was covered with light blue fur as well. Somewhere during the second season, he gained a non-furry blue nose, which was replaced by his signature purple nose in 1971.

Although he has been performed by Jerry Nelson from the beginning, Jim Henson performed his voice in one of his first appearances, the song "Up and Down" with Cookie Monster.

He hosted The Fuzzy Awards in Monster Hits!, and he was an anchorman in We All Sing Together.

He also appeared in a recurring sketch, Monsters in Day Care, as well as being a part of several Sesame Street Muppet & Kid Moments.

He has a mother, a father, a grandmother and a sister.

Herry is known for appearing in illustrations with pink and white striped pants. He has never been seen wearing them elsewhere, and the few times he has been shown below the waist, he has been nude -- like most monsters.

The original Herry puppet was also used for the Big Bad Wolf.
