Jay Tucker

Jay Tucker played one of the kids on Sesame Street beginning in the show's first season when he was nine years old.The Times Standard, Nov 9, 1973
Unlike most child talent on the show who appeared fleetingly throughout the years, Jay would return many times during his tenure on the show, effectively growing up among the Muppets and human cast members on the show. He stayed on the show long enough to graduate high school in Episode 1025 alongside Mr. Hooper who had just finished night school. In Episode 0028, he mentioned that he has a two-year-old brother.
Some of his notable episodes include Episode 0022 in which the kids come over to Gordon and Susan's apartment to attend his birthday party, Episode 0415 where he helped Mr. Snuffleupagus throw garbage away in an oversized trash can, and Episode 0598 where he inadvertently helps Sherlock Hemlock find Luis's pencil. Although most of his involvement could be found in street scenes, he also featured in a "Three of These Kids" segment as one of three kids in contrast to a fourth who is pictured upside-down. 
As Tucker grew older, and stuck around on the show, he eventually served as something of a bigger kid among the younger children who were more commonly woven into the goings-on of a typical street story. One such example can be found in a repeated segment in which Luis plays some of Big Bird's home movies projected on the wall for the kids to interact with.
