Thomas Twiddlebug is the father of the Twiddlebug Family, which includes his wife, Tessie Twiddlebug, and his children, Timmy and Tina. He first appeared on Sesame Street in Season 5 (1973).
In a later sketch following Henson's death, Martin P. Robinson took over the role of Thomas. Rickey Boyd voices him for the computer-animated segments. Tyler Bunch voiced the character for some animated videos produced for Sesame Workshop's outreach projects in 2024.
He also can be seen in the "Rainbow Connection" finale of The Muppet Movie (located next to Grover).
