Sesame Street: A Tribute to Emilio Delgado!

Sesame Workshop posted the tribute below to the late Emilio Delgado. 

Remembering Emilio Delgado

Emilio Delgado, best known to generations of children, parents and grandparents as Sesame Street’s beloved Fix-It-Shop owner Luis, and for his appearances on many television series aimed at grown-up audiences, passed away on March 10, 2022 after a long illness.

A beloved member of the Sesame family for over 50 years, his warmth and humor invited children to share a friendship that has echoed through generations. ​​​​​At the forefront of representation, Emilio proudly laid claim to the “record for the longest-running role for a Mexican-American in a TV series.” We are so grateful he shared his talents with us and with the world.
They also posted a video montage of Emilio's 42 years on Sesame Street
