So sad he died. One of the best things he did was introduce Steve Whitmire to Jim Henson.

It's Matt Vogel hand picked by Caroll Spinney and he said that Matt is very talented which is he is he voice Count, Big Bird, and extras at the muppets uncle Deadly, Constantine, extras, many more and also kermit the frog (which is voice similar to big bird when talking but kermit when singing to kermit's froggy throat)

RIP Caroll Spinney Thank you for the pure childhood memories and the joy you bring us 🙏

I just found out yesterday that he passed away after he retired due to being stricken with dystonia. My first encounter with Big Bird and Oscar was when I was 2 years old and saw Sesame Street on tv.

Amazing how long he's been doing Big Bird. He's always been one of my favorite Sesame Street characters.

RIP Carrol Spinney. The OG Big Bird is finally going to the big nest up in the sky.😭

I can't believe he was supposed to be on the Challenger instead, I never knew that. he's awesome at being big-bird🐥

R.I.P. Caroll! I heard you died a couple hours ago. Thanks for brightening my childhood!

I was skipping around the video and it suddenly went from talking about big bird to the challenger explosion... maybe I should watch the whole thing straight through... also rip Mr. Spinny ❤️

I kind of have to laugh at the first installment of Big Bird back in 1969 when he was more "bird brained." Gosh, Mr. Spinney is 83 and still performing BB in that costume after 48 years!

Early big bird looked like he was addicted to "birdseed"

That story about him almost being on The Challenger gave me chills

back in the day, MPT (PBS) got us kids to get our parents to donate by saying if they didn't get money.... we might loose Sesame Street

I absolutely love big bird!

I had the honor of meeting Carroll Spinney at DragonCon. I made him feel welcomed in 2015 and gave him a scarf to give it to Big Bird. He last visited as part of my BIG 5-0 at DragonCon 2018. Shortly after his triumph at DragonCon 2018, he finished his work and passed on the roles to his protege and retired with honor. His final appearance was at the Empire State Building, in which he was in a wheelchair and got to see the tribute to Sesame Street that moved him to tears. He became A Victim Of Goodbye yesterday and I cried through my mask when I got the news. On behalf of the Cast Of The Magical World Of DangerWoman, we offer our condolences and Deepest sympathies in the passing of Carroll Spinney. In lieu of flowers, Donations can be made to your local PBS KIDS Station, in memory of Carroll Spinney. DANGER WOMAN

RIP Caroll, we will miss you! Thanks for being part of our childhood! 😔🐥💛🗑💚

amy danced I loved both, still do, but I discovered "Sam And Friends" back in 8th or 9th grade (I'm a college freshman now) and I considered that to be relatively bonkers>.< But I must say, it is an interesting show. Just a tad bit off-the-wall^^; It lasted from 1956 to 1961 and was Jim Henson's first television show, not to mention that Kermit the frog made his first appearance there!

Maaaan.........I feel bad for Christa McAuliffe's family. But if Carroll Spinney had gone instead of her, they probably would've had a national crisis on their hands. Grief counselors would've made a fortune.

R.I.P to my favorite on the show! My big bird! Everyone loves Elmo but my favorite character was big bird! Still is! Thank you for making my childhood great!

Golden Wither If you're asking what caused the Challenger spacecraft to explode the way it did, the simple explanation is that gasses in the external fuel tank of the craft began to mix together which resulted in a large explosion that tore the rocket apart. The crew compartment was still intact after the explosion and it is speculated that the crew survived the explosion and was alive inside the compartment. It fell from the sky and into the sea. It was the impact with the ocean after falling from such a height and with such velocity that killed them.

Follow that bird is one of my favorite movies. I still remember EVERY song

Give this guy some Respect! WOW!!!

Rest In Peace, big bird. I never really grew up with you but you were a legend in everyone else’s hearts

RIP Carroll Spinney!

Omg I love big Bird he was my favorite as a child😍

I've always loved big bird 😊😊😊

RIP Carroll you shall be missed and live on in our hearts and our kids hearts we miss and love you ❤️

I'm a grown man who loves bird bird to the point that I only get teary eyed when he gets serious.

What a sweet man!

I have a strong, deep fondness & bond for Big Bird & Oscar, but especially Big Bird. Ever since I was REAL young, growing up in the '90s. Mr. Spinney is precious to me. I even have the documentary 'I Am Big Bird' in my films collection. My parents were divorced when I was just 5 years old & sough comfort in the shows I'd watch on PBS to deal with the trauma. Big Bird is always there for me, even today. With the still very recent news of Margaret Hamilton's guest apprentice as The Wicked Witch of the West Sesame Street episode being fully released, I was so proud of Big Bird. He took it upon himself to stand guard outside of Hooper's Store after The Witch started causing trouble. He was very brave.

I will never forget when he found a dead body in his shed on his property. His caretaker was charged with the murder. Spinney was never considered to be a suspect or had any involvement. Thank god.

Thanks Caroll! You made Big Bird is such a 'good kid!' "Training in morals and good conduct is far more important than book learning." (" If, however, the child be trained to be both learned and good, the result is light upon light.") - Baha'i Writings

my heart is sad here today because of big birds retirement but its extraordinary that carol made it to the golden anniversary because his heart was and is golden and pure gold at that. happy retirement mr spinney you made my childhood so happy sesame street will never be the same without you.

We lost another legend today :'( R.I.P Carroll

Another legend!!!! RIP and thank you for an amazing childhood!! :'( :'(

I miss my childhood 😥 yesterday I was sitting on the living room carpet in front of the T.V watching Sesame Street, Lazy Town, Barney, The Bernstein Bears and Bob The Builder, and now I'm thinking of becoming a surgeon

RIP

Big bird was and still is my favorite. And cookie monster too.

Favorite character

Wow crazy he was supposed to be on that shuttle. Thank you Caroll!

i went to one of his signings i thanked him for everything he gave me advice on puppetry i want to thank everyone for watching the show even if you got there today or yesterday i love caroll and the crew and all of you guys rip caroll spinney

The mechanics of a Big Bird blow my mind. I had no idea .

I just realized..he looked so much like Jim Henson, imagine what his offspring would look like..A part of jim lived in him, and his own offspring, We miss you Both..Big bird from 1969 to 2016, same with Oscar. Caroll "Jim look alike" Spinney, 1939 to 2019..

Who came here after hearing that he died?

I never met Caroll, but my ex father in law used to date his daughter and she had a son named Wyatt Spinney, Carroll's grandson, he used to come over and hang out with my little brother in law. one day Wyatt said my grandfather is Big Bird, and we laughed so he went and got his mom to prove it, sure enough, they weren't lying! Wyatt and his mom lived in Feeding Hills Massachusetts back then!

Rest In Peace Big Bird
