Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!

This week, we're joined by actress Nitya Vidyasagar! From 2008 to 2015, Nitya was beloved by generations as Leela, one of the human characters on Sesame Street. She shares memories of her time on the iconic series, including performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, appearing alongside the Muppets on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and performing in the Jim Henson's Musical World concert at Carnegie Hall. She also discusses getting to return to her role for Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration special. Nitya also chats about her acting work beyond the Street, including roles on Suits, NCIS: Los Angeles, Troopers, All Rise, and her continued passion for stage work. A heartwarming and insightful conversation you won't want to miss!
