'Sesame Street' introduces TJ, the show's very first Filipino muppet

Just in time for Heritage Month, ‘Sesame Street’ introduced TJ, the show’s very first Filipino muppet. TJ joins Ji-Young, a Korean American girl introduced in 2021 who became the show’s first-ever Asian American muppet. The two are seen here together in a video called, ‘Showing Confidence with Kal Penn.’
