C is for COOKIE MONSTER!!!

Cookie Monster made his Sesame Street debut in the first episode, interfering with Kermit the Frog's "famous W lecture" by eating a model "W" bit by bit. He turns it into an "N", a "V", and finally an "I", to Kermit's frustration. He then tries to eat Kermit.

In his early appearances on the show, Cookie Monster seemed somewhat scary to younger viewers, as he personified the childhood fear of "being eaten by a monster".However, this fearsome image did not last long, and Cookie Monster quickly became one of the most popular and beloved characters on the show.Cookie Monster's theme song, "C is for Cookie", is one of the most famous songs from Sesame Street.
