Ming is a Chinese peacock who appeared on Sesame Street in a "Global Grover" sketch about China. Grover asks Ming to demonstrate a Chinese peacock dance. Ming prefers to tap dance instead. She initially only communicates through shrill squawks, but later delivers the punchline, "That's how this peacock dances, ha-cha-cha-cha!", in a Jimmy Durante-esque voice.
Ming, and the sketch, initially debuted in the Sesame Street special The Street We Live On, before entering regular rotation.
Notes[]
