Oscar the Grouch 💚 with the human that played the muppet character from 1969-2018, Caroll Spinney. Oscar’s favorite thing is trash & he has even showcased this with his song, ‘I Love Trash’. #PopCulture #nostalgia

Muppet Wiki ✪ Caroll Spinney would later reprise the role for the show's landmark 1000th episode, which took place in a circus.

I was Caroll Spinney’s minder for our Bicentennial in 2000. He was a doll; I got to see him get into the Big Bird suit, which was wild. At the end of a glorious day I asked if he would record my office voice mail greeting as Oscar the Grouch, which he did!

Happy heavenly birthday, Caroll Spinney! #sesamestreet

Wasn't gonna drink tonight but I'm missing Caroll Spinney just a little extra
