3. He aslo did a bunch of voices: announcer for Pigs in Space

and other characters.
In 1972, he created the role of Count von Count, who is perhaps his best-known character. Another well-known character who Nelson performed was Big Bird's best friend, Mr. Snuffleupagus.

5. My daughter confided in me recently, that one of her favorite characters on Sesame Street

was Mr. Snuffleupagus and how she was kind of disappointed when everyone else on the show met him. She like the idea of him being a secret friend for Big Bird.
