Hooper ran Hooper ' s Store , the corner candy store on Sesame Street . CTW advisor Gerald S . Lesser , when discussing the " Sesame " characters and including the first season cast , originally described him as " slightly mean and abrasive but with a poorly hidden nice streak , " Mr . Hooper mellowed over the years . He developed a particularly close relationship with Big Bird , who bought his birdseed milkshakes from him . Their friendship was occasionally frustrated by Big Bird ' s frequent inability to correctly say the shopkeeper ' s name , often calling him Mr . Looper or similar rhyming variations . Still , Mr . Hooper had a great affection for Big Bird , even trusting him to open the store in episode 0198 . According to Oscar , the two were also quite fond of one another . Said Oscar in a Life magazine article : The character ' s full name was not revealed on the show until an episode in which he received his GED certificate for attending night school .

Producers toyed with the idea of telling viewers that the character had gone away . Big Bird ' s performer , Caroll Spinney , said that " we didn ' t know what to do . [ We ] thought perhaps he could just retire , move to Florida or something , but then the producers thought that the best thing to do would be to actually deal with death . " After much discussion and research , the producers decided to have the character of Mr . Hooper pass away as well , and use the episode to teach its young viewers about death as a natural part of life and that it is okay to grieve and feel sad when a loved one passes away . Mr . Hooper ' s farewell episode , episode 1839 , aired on Thanksgiving Day , 1983 . This landmark episode was a turning point for the show ; it was selected by the Daytime Emmys as being one of the 10 most influential moments in daytime television .
