Caroll Spinney: Being Big Bird | TODAY
Rest easy, Carroll Spinney.
Thank you for bringing Big Bird and Oscar to all of us and making our childhood memorable.
I just realized remember him being Bob McGrath diad same thing to
gives me chills knowing that 30 years ago we would have lost big bird, but still he is one amazing bird
Princess Strickland ikr
Princess Strickland 5 @
So sad he died. One of the best things he did was introduce Steve Whitmire to Jim Henson.
This man made my childhood awesome
ID watched sesame street when id was a kid long time ago! :)
Shiny Skies same

Shiny Skies yep
Shiny Skies You said it😆
Early big bird looked like he was addicted to "birdseed"
Nah he just got a haircut
@@golfballsnowyinactive7878 agreed
im sorry but who would give big bird a thumbs down. lucifer thats who
Creativity Unbound or Little Duck?
Maybe it’s for the Bush who was giving journalism as a gift
Someone who lost their childlike spirit
Me thinks about Lucifer Netflix show
Lucifer is actually nicer than Jesus
RIP Caroll Spinney. The world is better off that you lived, and your legacy will live forever.
😭
Thank God this man didn't go into outer space. That would have ruined my childhood.
RIP Caroll Spinney. Part of my childhood. I’m 35.
I'll never forget the episode when Mr. Hooper's death (when Will Lee had really died) had to be explained to Big Bird. It tore me up.
That was major! I'm so thankful they faced that head on.
How will we continue in this Universe without Caroll Spinney? My heart is shattered.
They'll have to find a way dude, Big Bird can't die.
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)
So Caroll Spinney just died today....a tragic loss. My childhood was complete.
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.
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!
Big Bird almost died 😭
I can't believe they almost sent him on that. I actually wonder what went wrong with that flight attempt. Can anyone tell me because I'm too lazy to search it up 😅
I would imagine when they "invited" him, they didn't know that was going to happen.
Golden Wither his suit was too big for the entrance
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.
Ian Michalski jesus christ how horrifying
tyler christ IKR
It's over.
We are officially screwed.
We lost Mr. Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Big Bird. The world is doomed. I've given up on this generation. All hope is lost. Doomsday, here we come.
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 ❤️
R.I.P. Caroll! I heard you died a couple hours ago. Thanks for brightening my childhood!
when you imagine that he actually cheated death by not going on that trip to orbit.
RIP Caroll Spinney
Thank you for the pure childhood memories and the joy you bring us
🙏
I can't believe he was supposed to be on the Challenger instead, I never knew that. he's awesome at being big-bird🐥
RIP Carrol Spinney. The OG Big Bird is finally going to the big nest up in the sky.😭
bad news everybody, Caroll Spinney has just died at the age of 85
@rj zander shut up
Also his name is Matt Vogel
Amazing how long he's been doing Big Bird. He's always been one of my favorite Sesame Street characters.
DreamDancer82 I like him as Oscar the Grouch.
It told you
Samart one
naw son cookie monster
Who came here after hearing that he died?
How many kids would've been scarred for life, if Big Bird had been on the Challenger? O_o
None
Me 🙋♂️😐😢
Me
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.
He Died This Morning RIP Big Bird
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
Weird thing about me, as a kid I was terrified of Sesame Street yet I loved the muppet show, weird because they're the same thing
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!
Nicoletta Bates qwertyuiopasdffhnklxxxxxx
Pedro Mojica Pardon?
Rest In Peace, Caroll
its kinda sad cuz he still does this for all our kids to make them happy he could die doing that in a suit and people at disney dress up like him and others laugh like thats the real him
Recently Caroll was diagnosed with Dystonia. HIs body is going rigid. He can no longer physically puppeteer his characters. His voice is starting to go too. Matt Vogel is his understudy for BB and Eric JAcobson his his understudy for Oscar.
RIP Caroll Spinney
I wished I was a 8 foot yellow bird like bigbird
Me too
THE THREE BROTHERS Believe in yourself, you can do it.
#relateable
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
R.I.P Big Bird 1933-2019
That story about him almost being on The Challenger gave me chills
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.
RIP Carroll Spinney!
Roses are red
bow down to your master
the children are fast
*but big bird is faster*
I absolutely love big bird!
Rest In Peace mr spinney
Thank you Mr. Spinney for all you do!
RIP Caroll, we will miss you! Thanks for being part of our childhood! 😔🐥💛🗑💚
RIP Carroll Spinney
We lost another legend today :'( R.I.P Carroll
Whoever gave Big Bird a thumbs down has NO SOUL!
I cant blind you are him big bird was stolen this year 2021 not cool
Carol spinney is dead now 😢😢 may he rest in peace 🙏🙏🕊🕊
r.i.p....caroll spinney..aka big bird...sad
As well Oscar
Such a great loss. Though seeing Matt joking about kissing the bird without asking was really ... gross.
Who's watching this after his death 😭
RIP
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!
0:31 "La la!"
Sesame street was the place to live. sigh...
anyone imagine big bird as a black kid?
Aidan Palkin what's the difference between him being blackbor white he'd still be a great friend to all chidren
I MAY be wrong here, but I think what Aidan was getting at is people see fictitious as one of them (African, Asian, etc.) I have also read that people see God the same way. I know God isn't fictitious.
miss_midge_6515 thank you
The great thing about Big Bird is he still has the innocence of a child. He sees no skin color, ability, disability, just the happiness of a child.
Roses Are Red
Violets Are Blue
You Came For Because Big Bird
I Did Too
She looks just like her mother 👀
I used to be scared of big bird because of how creepy and big he was (I was a little toddler) . I was born in 2004 if you were wondering
same here (born in 2001)
Rest in peace Carroll spinney
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
The explosion looks like Big Bird
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!
We all know why your here
4:05 her eyes
Big bird was and still is my favorite. And cookie monster too.
Jaiden animations sent me
He will be missed
😭
My sister got a chance to buy any 15 toy in Kmart. She chose a big bird to that was about 15 cm tall
I'm a grown man who loves bird bird to the point that I only get teary eyed when he gets serious.
Spinney Family Cemetery

RIP :(
Rip
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..
Rest in peace big bird i hope you can give Mr hooper your drawing now.
Voice of my childhood. The days before RUclips or Coco Melon. Good times 🤔. RIP Gone but never forgotten.
I'm glad that Jim Henson had picked Caroll to help with the muppets.
Rip Caroll spinney 🥺🙏😭🥀🕊️💔
Big Bird? Cool. Bush family evil smile? Scary. Isnt Aleister Crowley her great grandfather?
Met him on the elevator at a convention about a decade ago, though we were complete strangers and didn't realize who he was at first he was so friendly and struck up conversation immediately.
1:40-1:55 is my favorite part of the video I love Sesame Street ‼️💯
Good thing that plan to send Big Bird into space never came into fruition. Otherwise Caroll would've been killed on that shuttle.
I wish Caroll Spinney Would make Big bird dropped the clumbsy quality in his balance by using the eye contact make him go back to day care center by not jump up and down and not throw a fit by moving to kindergarten so he can work and study learning growing playing read the words
Give this guy some Respect! WOW!!!
I Wish someone would call Caroll Spinney Would make Big bird go visit a kindergarten school and speech in schools learning growing working studying lessons reading playing children
I Wish Caroll Spinney Would start learning growing working studying lessons reading playing with other kids rather playing with his dolls he would do that sometimes he would stop playing with his dolls for a while longer he would stop playing with his dolls for a while longer he would say hey quite teasing me with my big ears that hurts my feelings he needs to ignored these stupid kids just walk away like you never ever saw them again sometimes father's get bad temperd he needs to learn more about stop bullying speak up he needs to get an adult or teacher principle to stopped these bullies call their parents picking them up bring them home to teach them a lesson please don't tease anymore mary kate and ashley olsen would spend some quality time day together with Caroll Spinney and the little boy so they won't be alone anymore windzike the flower of Oz would give Caroll Spinney and the little boy so they won't be alone anymore spinney would make big bird 7 years old make him go 5 in a half years old make him feel perfect giving him eye contract was increased even more make him ask questions at 4 times make him not a too big kid just a big kid make him dropped the clumbsy quality in his balance by make him perfect and helpful information serious smart and clever and sensibility and not so brainless within a brain energized stright alright okay fine perfect movements look too keen feathers less haphazard the toes become not so cute make him 4 years old make him feel perfect and make him learning growing working studying lessons reading talk and discuss this situation for now on
Jesus they almost blew up Big Bird, that would have been considered a national tragedy.
I Wish Caroll Spinney Would say hey stop teasing me with my big ears that hurts my feelings stop bullying speak up he needs to get an adult or teacher principle to stopped these bullies call their parents picking them up bring them home to teach them a lesson spinney would make big bird go back to day care center by not jump up and down and not throw a fit he would just sit down and listen to the teacher and tells you what to do by moving to kindergarten and speech in schools learning growing working studying lessons reading before playing big bird just happened to be a big kid big bird was easy he's six years old later turns 7 years old make him go 5 in a half years old make him ask questions at 4 times
Honestly I loved grouch land movie was amazing
I Wish Caroll Spinney Would find out why big bird wouldn't go to daycare center by not jump up and down and not throw a fit he would just sit down and listen to the teacher and tells you what to do by moving to kindergarten and speech in schools learning growing working studying lessons reading playing with other kids rather staying at sesamestreet
