Shecky is a penguin vaudeville performer, seen in a Big Bird and Snuffy bumper on Sesame Street. (First: Episode 3859)
Ostensibly doing a bird call act, Shecky's routine is more literal, using a cell phone to call his mother and confirm his Sunday visit. He cheerfully waddles off the stage to comedy music, laughter, and applause. The performing penguin exudes high class formality in dress, complementing his natural tuxedo coloring with a dickey, bowtie, and top hat.
The character is named after comedian Shecky Greene.
