In 1969, James Earl Jones recited the alphabet for the second episode of Sesame Street. His slow, steady delivery had such an impact on children that it was dubbed "the James Earl Jones effect," showing that repetition and anticipation could promote interactive learning, and shaping the way we've reached children ever since. We love you, Mr. Jones.

We remember and honor the incredible life of James Earl Jones. As the first celebrity guest to appear on Sesame Street, he forever shaped how we reach both children and their caregivers. His timeless contributions to education, entertainment, and the arts have left an indelible mark on generations. Thank you for being part of our street, Mr. Jones. 💛💚

When Nowar left Syria in 2016, the war had been going on for five years. Hoping to create a better life for his wife and young daughter, he made the painful choice to leave his home and family and go to Jordan. He never dreamed he would be able to connect with his own child back in Damascus – and millions of others – through his role puppeteering a Sesame Workshop Muppet named Jad. Since 2020, Nowar has brought the furry saffron-colored monster to life on Ahlan Simsim, the local version of Sesame Street in the Middle East, which is part of a program from Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee to bring early learning to children and caregivers affected by conflict and crisis.
