Uncle Talbot



Uncle Talbot is Telly's uncle who appears in a 1997 episode of Sesame Street, trying to sell his home-made "Happy Caps", designed with an extra large peak. Unbeknownst to him, the long peaks cause trouble for Telly, as he ends up whacking Elmo with it whenever he turns to him. He tells his uncle about the problem and he adds rear-view mirrors to the cap, then trying to pass it off as a butterfly net and giraffe-tickler. AT the end of the day, he gives Telly silly looking glasses ("Happy Sunglasses") and has him sell some.
