Timmy Twiddlebug is the son of Thomas and Tessie Twiddlebug. His sister is Tina Twiddlebug. The Twiddlebug Family first appeared on Sesame Street in Season 5 (1973).
In his earliest appearances, Timmy was made from a Hot Pink Little Anything Muppet. In sketches from 1980 onward, he was instead made from a Pumpkin Orange base.
Usually, Richard Hunt used a typical little boy voice (often identical to voices he would use for female characters), which would be even more high-pitched when sped-up. On a few occasions, Hunt used a normal male-sounding voice, which would still sound high-pitched when sped-up.
Jerry Nelson performed the character in "Get Along." Later, in a sketch produced in the mid-1990s, Timmy was performed by Peter Linz.

- In the Who's Who on Sesame Street books, Timmy is labeled as "Teddy."
