Jerry Nelson, who was the voice and puppeteer of the Count Von Count character on "Sesame Street" for virtually four decades since the show's inception, has died. Sources say he died of natural causes; he was 78.

78! Seventy...eight...candles? Ah ah ah!

Seriously, has Frank Oz been with the show since it started? He's got to be getting up there now, too.

Reminds me of the scene from "Family Guy"

Peter: Hey, is the Count a Vampire?
Brian: What's that?
Peter: Well he's got these big fangs. Have they ever shown him doin' somebody in and then feedin' on em?
Brian: You're, you're asking me if they've ever done a Seseme Street in which the Count kills somebody and then sucks their blood for sustenance
Peter: Yeah
Brian: No, they've never done that

He's ten years younger. Born in 1944, if Wikipedia is true and accurate:

The Internet Movie Database has the same year. I usually rely on that site for information about folks who were involved in theatrical movies and TV programs since any piece of information provided by a visitor of the site is usually checked by a person managing the site.
