He spends his time in the laundromat with Leela as Telly takes on his journey. In the story, Murray assists Texas Telly in his quest to find said Triangle of Destiny. One of the few and most prominent examples of Murray’s involvement in a Street Story was in Season 39’s “The Golden Triangle of Destiny” episode. Murray has not, and does not, appear in many Street Stories in the show. With Season 39, Murray acquired his own segment within the show with “Murray Has a Little Lamb” where he and his pet lamb, Ovejita, visit different types of schools and learn something new every day. It only took two more years for Murray to gain his name and gain a specific role on the show in Season 38, when he began introducing every episode with his “What’s the Word on the Street?” segment. In fact, around the set they referred to him as “FilFil” because Murray’s design was so similar to a character with the name FilFil on the Egyptian co-production Alam Simsim. It’s not widely known that during this time, Murray was just another unnamed monster performed by Joey Mazarrino. Usually, since the curriculum called for it, Murray would spend these talk-spots asking kids about exercise or other healthy life habits.

Murray’s first appearance was in Season 36, where he began appearing, with little fanfare, asking kids questions. Murray’s main gig on the show recently has been going out into “the real world” and finding people who can tell him what the Word on the Street (aka, the Word of the Day) means.

While his description may sound eerily similar to Elmo’s, he’s really quite different. Murray is a large, fuzzy, red, excitable young monster who has risen to fame on Sesame Street in recent years. “Hi! I’m Murray! And I wanna know… What’s the word on the Street?” “Word on the Street” presenter, haver of little lamb Ovejita, show host
