Benny is a gangster who appeared in a Sesame Street Gangsters skit in season 6, alongside his partner Lefty and his boss (Jerry Nelson).
While Benny is very loyal to his boss and agrees with everything he says, he is also very slow and the most dim-witted of the trio, often being corrected by his boss when he mis-interprets or forgets a situation (such as constantly thinking Lefty is at the door even without giving the correct knocks).
