PERFORMER	Jennifer Barnhart
DEBUT	2004

Ming is a Chinese peacock who appeared on Sesame Street in a Global Grover segment about China. Grover asks Ming to demonstrate a Chinese peacock dance. Ming prefers to tap dance instead. She initially only communicates through shrill squawks, but later delivers the punchline, "That's how this peacock dances, ha-cha-cha-cha!", in a Jimmy Durante-esque voice.

Ming, and the sketch, initially debuted in the Sesame Street special The Street We Live On, before entering regular rotation.

Notes

• Ming is a peacock, which is a male peafowl. In the script, the character is identified as female.
