Hopefully one of these will work.

The Baseball Card Blog has a great YouTube of Telly, sporting his sweet blue Mets cap -- pre-orange button -- and sorting his baseball cards when Ron Darling appears, strolling around Sesame Street in his home uniform.

I like Telly. He doesn't really have a hook to him. I mean, yeah, he's a monster, but so is Cookie and Grover and probably a half dozen others. He's just got a personality that's a little different that he doesn't have to work to hard to sell. He's like the Rowlf of Sesame Street.

I bet Ron Darling loves to read the back of his baseball cards to people.

Telly was originally obsessed with television (hence the name) but that characteristic didn't prove as interesting/educational as being obsessed with cookies or counting. He eventually phased into being a generally anxious monster.

I thought Telly's gimmick was that he had a guy's hand up his ass.

Oh wait. That was Piazza's gimmick. NTTAWWT.

Keith and "The Count" that's not from Montefusco. Keith is developing the acting chops that he'd put to good use in the next decade on Seinfeld.

Hahahahahaha! That was hilarious...

(I find it disturbing that I am so easily amused by skits directed at 8 year olds)

I didn't know that!

Does that also apply to Telly Savalas?

It's funny... until you read that week's Klapisch column, in which he quotes anonymous clubhouse sources reporting that the Count may be mentally ill and steps on actors' lines.

Um, no -- that's the shortened version of Aristotelis (Aristotle in English).

It's anxiety and triangles for Telly, both of which are endearing.
