Bryant Young (Puppeteer/Dancer) || Ep. 229

On Episode 229 of Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, our guest is puppeteer and dancer Bryant Young! Bryant first started out as a dancer, where he had the opportunity of performing with the New York City Ballet, the Briansky Saratoga Ballet Center and many more. Since 1979, Bryant has been a puppeteer on Sesame Street, more notably as the back-end of Mr. Snuffleupagus! In addition to assisting Snuffy, Bryant occasionally performed the role of Barkley and also choreographed for the show, including the Baby Tooth and the Fuzzy Funk segments and dance routines for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Outside of Sesame Street, Bryant puppeteered on the Disney series The Book of Pooh.
