Alan (Sesame Street)
Since the premiere of the children's television program ''Sesame Street'' on November 10, 1969, it has included what writer Malcolm Gladwell has called "the essence of ''Sesame Street''—the artful blend of fluffy monsters and earnest adults".Gladwell, p. 106 The original cast, chosen by original producer Jon Stone, consisted of four human actors—Matt Robinson (actor), Matt Robinson, who played The Robinson family (Sesame Street), Gordon; Loretta Long, who played Gordon's wife, Susan; Will Lee, who played Mr. Hooper; and Bob McGrath, who played Bob. Unlike most children's television programs at the time, the producers of ''Sesame Street'' decided against using a single host and cast a group of ethnically diverse, primarily African American actors/presenters, with, as ''Sesame Street'' researcher Gerald S.

Daveed Diggs, White House, March 2016
David (; , "beloved one") was a king of ancient Israel and Judah and the third king of the United Monarchy, according to the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament. The Tel Dan stele, an Aramaic-inscribed stone erected by a king of Aram-Damascus in the late 9th/early 8th centuries BCE to commemorate a victory over two enemy kings, contains the phrase (), which is translated as "House of David" by most scholars. The Mesha Stele, erected by King Mesha of Moab in the 9th century BCE, may also refer to the "House of David", although this is disputed. According to Jewish works such as the ''Seder Olam Rabbah'', ''Seder Olam Zutta'', and ''Sefer ha-Qabbalah'' (all written over a thousand years later), David ascended the throne as the king of Judah in 885 BCE. Apart from this, all that is known of David comes from biblical literature, the historicity of which has been extensively challenged,Writing and Rewriting the Story of Solomon in Ancient Israel; by Isaac Kalimi; page 32; Cambr ...
