Henry Piggins is a pig who appeared on Sesame Street in Episode 4081 to help Rosita to speak without an accent. He starts off by having Rosita say the phrase, "The pig is big and did a wiggly jig." After many practices, Rosita still has her accent when she says the phrase, but Henry Piggins tells her that it takes time for her to say it correctly. However, Henry Piggins cannot continue the lesson because he has tickets to the play Pig-malion and has to leave.
The character spoofs Henry Higgins from My Fair Lady (as well as Pygmalion).
