Professor Hastings is an early Muppet professor performed by Frank Oz from the first three seasons of Sesame Street. His character was best known for boring himself to sleep with his own lectures.
Of the ten known skits to include him, the following is listed below:
Sketch Title | Summary | Status |
---|---|---|
Spinning Wheel | A trio of Professor Goldfinch, Hastings and a wild-haired Green Anything Muppet drummer perform the song. Hastings plays the horn section. | Found |
Letter Y | Professor Hastings talks about the letter Y. As usual, he drifts off and Kermit has to remind him what he's teaching. | Found |
Emotions | Professor Hastings conducts a lecture about the ways people feel but keeps drifting off. Meanwhile, two groups of Muppets behind him pass by; one cheering for their winning team, and the others crying for the losing team. | Found |
Big and Little | Professor Hastings talks about big and little using piles of blocks. | Found |
Exercise | Kermit and Professor Hastings on the importance of exercise. | Found |
Body Parts | Kermit helps the professor discuss parts of the body. | Found |
Two Trucks | Professor Hastings talks and shows how two dump trucks can be alike and also different. | Found |
What's My Part? | Guy Smiley hosts "What's My Part?" The contestants are Bennett Snerf, Arlene Frantic and Professor Hastings, and the mystery part is a foot. | Found |
Letter U | Professor Hastings discusses the letter U, but in his confusion, he first thinks he's talking about "you" (meaning himself), then his announcer. | Found |
Pogo Stick | The professor uses a pogo stick to demonstrate "up" and "down", and ends up jumping into a pond. | Found |
Availability
Despite the 10 skits known to include him, the original drafted script for Episode 0138 actually contains a 3-part skit involving the ET word family, with Professor Hastings doing a lecture and Grover carrying the letters. Because of Hastings' appearance in the script, it was rumoured for a little while that Hastings was in the filmed skit, but when Scarecroe recently started uploading screenshots of many long-unseen Classic Sesame Street episodes (especially for this skit) on Muppet Wiki during May of 2019, the rumour about Hastings' appearance in the final was debunked as it turns out he was replaced with Herbert Birdsfoot doing the lecture, while Grover remained intact.
