I can be an adding machine , subtracting machine , gumball machine , soda pop dispensing machine , jukebox . . . " His birthday is May 23 . Sam first appeared in the Season 4 premiere , Episode 0406 , where he met Gordon and Susan . He informed them that he was on Mulberry Street , not Sesame Street , because his programming told him to go to Mulberry Street , and machines don ' t make mistakes . Sam was always ready to assist his friends on the street with their problems , but he invariably bungled his attempts . Despite his assertion that " machines are perfect , " Sam frequently got stuck repeating the same few words over and over , until another character temporarily fixed the glitch by whacking him .

Jerry Nelson , who performed Sam in his debut appearance in season 4 , alternated the role with Caroll Spinney , who played Sam in a scene where he falls in love with a toaster that Luis is fixing . According to a 2009 interview , Spinney " invented " Sam the Robot and was his original puppeteer . Sam left the show in the mid - 70s , but a computer animated version — Sam the Super Automated Ghost of Christmas Future — appeared in the 2006 direct - to - video special " A Sesame Street Christmas Carol " .
