Trivia[]
- In July 2011, the same day same-sex marriage was legalized in New York City, Rod and Ricky (handled by Howie Michael Smith and Jed Resnick, respectively) made history as the first same-sex puppet couple to wed. The ceremony was done at City Hall beneath a rainbow chuppah. Kate Monster (handled by Jennifer Barnhart) served as a flower girl. The couple had a brief honeymoon and made it back to the theater in time for their 3 pm matinee.
- He is somewhat a parody of Bert from Sesame Street.
