Martin Robinson and Annie Evans


Welcome to our Sesame Family Robinson Blog.

My name is Annie Evans, and I’m a writer for the Sesame Street show, and a story editor for Sesame Street co-productions around the world. I also happen to be married to Martin Robinson, who plays Mr. Snuffleupagus, Telly Monster, Slimey, Irvine, a Martian, and other a sundry chickens, sheep, etc. Marty and I were married on the Sesame Street set, and announced at the end of the ceremony that we were expecting twins. As you can see, we truly are a Sesame Street family. It is in this spirit we’ve created this blog to share our journey as parents trying to raise our daughters with love and playfulness, while also being deeply committed to a television show that seeks to educate and empower children all over the world.

I hope you enjoy the posts, pictures, and videos from our ever amazing journey. Welcome to our community of Sesame Street friends!

All the best,
Annie Evans and Martin P. Robinson
