The character is performed by [[Carroll Spinney]], and has been performed by him since the show's first episode. Through Oscar, children actually learn about respect and tolerance instead of disrespect and intolerance, and they discover that people with different views and lifestyles can still be great friends. | '''Oscar the Grouch''' is a [[Muppet]] character on the television program ''[[Sesame Street]]''.
