Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Ernie is a muppet character on PBS' long-running children's television show, Sesame Street. He and Bert form a comic duo that is one of the program's centerpieces, with Ernie acting the role of the naive trouble-maker and Bert the world-weary foil. Because Ernie and Bert share a bedroom (in separate beds) they are sometimes accused of being representations of gay lovers. This article is from Wikipedia.
