Bert

Performer: Frank Oz (1969-present), Eric Jacobson (2000-present)

Bert is Ernie's best friend and roomate. While Ernie likes to have fun, Bert would rather read. Bert likes pigeons, paper clips, bottle caps, and oatmeal.

His best-known song is probably Doin' the Pigeon. He and Ernie both had their own video, The Best of Ernie and Bert, and their own album, Bert and Ernie's Greatest Hits (CD). He also has a few of his own albums, such as Bert's Blockbusters (LP) and The Best of Bert (LP).
