5 Great Videos with Count Von Count

This week's episode of "Five for Friday" pays tribute to Muppeteer Jerry Nelson (1934-2012), who passed away last week. Nelson voiced and/or worked several notable characters for Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Fragglerock. One of Nelson's great characters was Count Von Count—so I'm also including five memorable appearances of the Count below. Enjoy!
