Sesame Street's Gordon - Roscoe Orman Interview

Yes! It's Gordon, one of Sesame Street's favorite neighbors! Did you know that Gordon (a/k/a Roscoe Orman) is also a published author? We bumped into Gordon on the streets of New York at the Harlem Book Festival, and snagged an interview with him.

Watch the video and find out about the children's book he wrote based on his own childhood, "Ricky & Mobo."

Roscoe seems like a guy filled with such a genuine sense of humility. He's fantastic and I've admired him since I was a small child when I was watching Sesame Street (I'm now 30)

gordon is the only person I remember on sesame street. I am glad Mr orman shared his talents on that show. I grew up with it.

I had such a big crush on him as a little kid!

When I was a little girl, I loved everytime I got to see him on Sesame Street!
