Chris Robinson is the nephew of Gordon and Susan on Sesame Street, who first appeared in Season 38. Chris moves to Sesame Street in Episode 4136 and seeks a job to buy textbooks for school, but has little luck with his first three attempts.

Count von Count wants to hire someone to exercise so he can count the exercises without paying the person.
Cookie Monster wants a salesman to sell cookies, but can't bear to allow anyone to buy them.
Horatio the Elephant wants a dance partner to work for peanuts instead of money.

Just as Chris is about to give up for the day, he sees Alan put a "Help Wanted" sign outside the window of Hooper's Store, and is hired as Alan's newest assistant.

Chris is somewhat prone to bad luck, usually, but not always, due to being on the unfavorable end of the Muppet characters' hijinks. Some examples being when Abby accidentally used magic to send him to a frozen wasteland, or in Episode 4722 when a leaky faucet kept squirting him in the face.

He is shown to enjoy comic books and cooking.

Chris can sometimes be seen in outlandish or goofy outfits, for plays, to help out a friend, or just for fun.

It is revealed in a 2010 episode that Chris has a fraternal twin sister named Christy.

Chris shares the same birthday as his actor, February 25, according to the "Ask Elmo" interview on Sesame Street's YouTube channel.

Notes

It is revealed in Episode 4811 that Chris is allergic to cats.
