Jerry Nelson, best known as the voice and pupeteer of Sesame Street's numerically-obsessed vampire, The Count, has died:

He did a great deal of work with Jim Henson and company, so, anyone who A) was a child, and/or B) ever watched TV, will most likely have seen or heard him at some point.

Due to the fact I suck at math, The Count obviously failed me on that front, but damn did I get some good tips on maniacal laughter.

Ah, Count Von Count...founder of Old Clan Sesame. Once split off from Clan Tremiere, he used his knowledge of Thaumaturgy to invent the clan discipline of Enumeration. He can mathematically derive any magical ability.

Here's hoping they can find someone to fill the cape. Jerry Nelson, you will be missed.
