The Bellhop appeared in a series of animated segments on Sesame Street beginning in season 20. A tireless hotel worker, the bellhop was continually asked by his manager (whose voice was re-recorded by Camille Bonora the following season) to perform various tasks, always illustrating numbers. The segments remained in rotation until Season 37.
The segments were directed by Steven Dovas at Michael Sporn's studio. The backgrounds have a distinctive Art Deco style similar to posters from the 1920s-30s. The music score for each segment was composed by Christopher Bankey.
