“As you know, ‘Sesame Street’ is produced by Sesame Workshop, an independent production company. There will soon be three fewer familiar faces in the “Sesame Street” neighborhood. “Sesame Street” is in the midst of its 46th season, now on HBO. During a panel at Florida Supercon on July 2, 84-year-old original “Sesame Street” cast member Bob McGrath, said that he, along with longtime costars Emilio Delgado (Luis) and Roscoe Orman (Gordon) had been let go by the long-running series. With McGrath’s departure, only two original cast members remain on the series.
