Mr. MacIntosh and Willy

I just thought I'd share this old SS skit from when I was a kid.

Mr. MacIntosh the fruit salesman and Willy the hot dog vendor met on Sesame Street. And they ended up having to sell their stuff on the same spot. A customer came and bought an apple from Mr. MacIntosh and asked if he could cut it in two. But Mr. MacIntosh said he didn't have a knife. But Willy said he had one and ended up slicing up the customer's apple.

Then another customer came and bought a hot dog from Willy and asked how much it weighed. But Willy said he didn't have a scale, but Mr. MacIntosh said he had a scale and he weighed the hot dog for him.

Yep, it was one of those neat cooperation skits.

anyone know when was the last time the 2 of them appeared on the show?

I wonder why they never got more lines or bigger roles on the show.

The Last time Mr. Macintosh was on the show was 1992. The Last time Willy was there was 1985 I think.

I know that Willy appears (without lines) in Follow That Bird...

These two characters, like David, were ones who were obviously around during my viewing days, but without the internet and SS Unpaved, I never would have remembered them or even known who they were.
