Oobi Wiki

Oobi is a kids' TV show that stars a cast of bare hand puppets played by Muppet performers. It was made by Little Airplane Productions. It has gained something of a cult following, with fans including Muppet purists, amateur puppeteers, college-age stoners, and kids at heart.

The main character is the most literal form of a hand puppet, with no fur or feathers—only a pair of expressive glass eyes and accessories. Each story features Oobi exploring the world around him along with his younger sister Uma, his best friend Kako, and his grandpa Grampu. The show was made for the Noggin channel.

Story: Oobi illustrates a storybook about a group of dinosaurs who embark on a mission to find their way home. When he reads it aloud to his friends, they imagine it playing out in an Oobi-style world of prehistoric hand puppets.

Bio: Randy is a funny, good-natured teen with a mohawk-style haircut. He is very personable and gives nicknames to everyone he meets. He gives Oobi and Uma the names "Oobi-Dude" and "Uma-Zooma." When they first meet, Uma does not appreciate Randy's efforts to bond with her. She misses Grampu and insists that Randy isn't as good as him. However, Randy eventually wins her over by dancing with her doll to polka music. Uma can't help but laugh and nicknames him "Randy-Candy."

Appearance: Randy guest stars in the "Babysitter!" episode. This is Randy's only appearance, but Kevin Clash also plays a few background characters in other episodes.
