He came to the set one final time this week to record his last performance as Big Bird.

As reported earlier this week, Caroll Spinney — the man who has played both Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street since the show’s inception almost 50 years ago — is finally retiring from his two signature roles.
