The Prince and the Pig are a pair of characters who first appeared on Sesame Street in episode 3344. They later re-appeared in episode 3633 and episode 3770. The duo's visits to the street are always for the purpose of finding a writer. They claim to be a part of the greatest story ever told, but are always lacking an actual story. The street residents provide them with stories to suit their needs. Often, the prince has trouble remembering names, constantly referring to his companion (simply named "Pig") as various other names.
