Were any of these people actually guests?

[zanimum]

Recently, a bunch of additions have been made to Wikipedia's list guest stars on Sesame Street.

I'm not terribly confident about the legitimacy of most of them, so I'll let this forum thread tear away at the list. Tell me who certainly wasn't on SS, who certainly was, and who might have, but you're not sure of.

Thanks, Nick Moreau

By the way, if anyone responding also can tell me just in a sentence or less what they did on the show, if you know off hand.

Sally Ride who was I think the 1st woman astronot, sorry if I spelled that wrong, I simply talked to Bob and the kids about her going up into space, Can't remember very much about it.

Anyone else care to confirm of deny and of these guests. Even a "I'm pretty darn sure ___________ never appeared is fine.

 

[mikebennidict]

I'm sure if someone here knows they'll say for sure.

Ron Howard appeared with 'The Fonz' in a few early "Sesame Street" episodes.
