Ernie- One of the Original Stars of Sesame Street
Sesame Street holds a special place in my heart. I remember being in the first grade and the teacher rolled out televisions and let the class watch this funny new show with cute puppets. I was amazed. It was a special treat for our class.
I fell in love with Sesame Street. I wanted to live there. I watched it in the summers when school was out. When I had kids, I turned on Sesame Street and watched it right beside them. My favorite characters on the show are Ernie and Cookie Monster. This is my loving tribute to Ernie.
As a side note, Sesame Street today doesn't compare with the Sesame Street of my childhood. All of the annoying flashes and camera switches, and don't even get me started on the new characters. Enough said.

Ernie on Sesame Street Wikipedia Information
Ernie is a fictional character, a Muppet on the Public Broadcasting Service's long-running children's television show, Sesame Street. He and his roommate Bert form a comic duo that is one of the program's centerpieces, with Ernie acting the role of the naïve troublemaker and Bert the world-weary foil. Ernie's birthday is January 28.
Ernie is well known for his fondness for baths with his Rubber Duckie, and for trying to learn to play the saxophone although he would not "put down the duckie." Ernie is also known for keeping Bert awake at night, for reasons such as wanting to play the drums, wanting to count something (like sheep), to observe something like a blackout, or even because he is waiting for his upstairs neighbor to drop his shoes.
He has a distinctive, chuckling laugh (a trait he shares with his baby cousin Ernestine).
Many Ernie and Bert sketches involve Ernie wanting to play a game with Bert, who would much rather do something else (like read). Ernie keeps annoying Bert with the game until Bert joins in ? and usually, by the time Bert starts enjoying the game, Ernie is tired of playing the game and wants to do something else. Other sketches have involved them sharing some food by dividing it equally, only for one of them to have a bit more than the other, leading Ernie to make it even by eating the extra piece.
Ernie has also frequently made appearances without Bert. He has regularly appeared in skits with Cookie Monster, Sherlock Hemlock and Lefty the Salesman.
From season 33 (2002) until season 36 (2005), he and Big Bird starred in a daily segment called "Journey to Ernie".
Ernie was one of the hosts of Play With Me Sesame. One regular segment that he hosted was "Ernie Says", a variation of "Simon Says".

Wow an Ernie lens! What a great idea! Ernie is a great guy! I use to love watching Ernie and his old buddy Bert. I think the thing I liked most about Ernie was his laugh! Nice job!

Great job! I loved Ernie and, as you know, he was voiced by Jim. I think Ernie probably took on a lot of Jim's characteristics as far as his curiosity about the world around him. I just adored Sesame Street growing up and these videos brought back a lot of great memories. :)
