'Sesame Street' recently introduced TJ, its first Filipino muppet, on a segment with Kal Penn. TJ and his friend Ji-Young, a Korean American muppet who debuted in 2021, talk to the actor about the word of the day: confidence.
There's a new kid on the block.
"I'm learning Tagalog. It's a language my Filipino family speaks and I have confidence because I can always ask my lola for help when I don't know a word," TJ says. Rosemary Espina Palacios, Sesame Workshop's director of talent outreach, inclusion and content development, also celebrated TJ's arrival on Sesame Street.
