Ernie is a Muppet character known for his playful and often disruptive antics on the long-running children's television show, Sesame Street. He is best known as the roommate and best friend of Bert, with whom he shares an apartment at 123 Sesame Street.

Ernie is typically portrayed as a lovable and innocent character. He is known for his signature rubber duckie, which he affectionately calls "Rubber Duckie." His playful interactions with Bert often involve Ernie's obliviousness to Bert's desire for peace and quiet, resulting in humorous situations.

The character was developed by Jim Henson, with various performers taking on the role over the years. Jim Henson originally performed Ernie until his death in 1990. Since then, others have voiced the character, ensuring Ernie's continued presence on Sesame Street and in the hearts of generations of children.
