Uncle Tommy

Telly Monster's Uncle Tommy appears in the 1997 Sesame Street home video Telling the Truth.
While at Gina's Day Care Center, all of Telly's friends are fixated on talking about a circus in town. Desperate to relate to the conversation, Telly creates a lie that his Uncle Tommy is a ringmaster in a circus. His problem becomes worse when he's told Uncle Tommy will be picking him up from day care later, and everyone will want to meet him with a false impression of who he is.
When Uncle Tommy does arrive, Telly privately confesses to him what he's done. Tommy convinces him to tell his friends the truth. Telly then reveals his uncle is really just an astronaut, a career he doesn't find as interesting. Tommy suddenly receives a call from NASA for an urgent space mission and blasts off into the cosmos.
