After four years in the service, Spinney made his way to Bozo's Big Top, where he portrayed a number of characters and drew animation for the TV show as well. Spinney collected five Daytime Emmy Awards for his contributions to Sesame Street and received a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 2006, entrancing hundreds of millions of kids along the way. Spinney, who also operated and voiced Oscar, Big Bird's grumpy trash can-dwelling neighbor, before retiring from the iconic kids program in October 2018, died at his home in Connecticut after "living with dystonia for some time," according to the show's statement.
