George Washington (Anything Muppet)

George Washington appeared in multiple Sesame Street sketches reworking American history. In particular, in Season 18, he appeared twice as a distinguished, slightly pompous figure. In a "People in Your Neighborhood" variation , Bob imagines meeting Washington when he was the first President of the United States in 1789. While he enjoys taking Bob on a tour, President Washington has to depart to run the country.
Washington returned, this time when still a general in the Continental Army, in an installment of the miniseries "The American Revolution." He takes time from historical momentum to clarify enlisted monster Grover's confusion over the nature of their planned surprise for the British.
==As a child== 
Years earlier, as part of the periodic bicentennial focus in Season 7, Washington appeared in a Sesame Street News Flash sketch, based on the apocryphal story of Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree and honestly admitting the fact rather than tell a lie. This version of Washington, despite his truthfulness, repeatedly takes an axe to his parent's cherry orchard. Young George is made from the typical Hot Pink Anything Muppet used for children and performed by Jerry Nelson.
