Current Hosts

• Kelly (Kelly Vrooman), Sean (Sean Roach), Dennisha (Dennisha Pratt) and Carly (Carly Ciarrocchi) are the four human hosts of The Sunny Side Up Show, which premiered on September 26, 2007. On a rotating schedule (one of them hosts each week), they introduce programs and lead themed activities, along with co-host puppet Chica and an occasional guest co-host such as Elmo, Barney, or Big Bird. Regular features include "The Good Egg Awards", celebrating the accomplishments of "Sproutlets" (viewers); "Manners With Molly", a weekly etiquette question appropriate for the preschool set; and a several-times-daily celebration of viewer birthdays, with a crawl of names and ages traveling across the bottom of the screen.

• Chica is a chicken puppet who co-hosts The Sunny Side Up Show with Kelly, Sean, Dennisha and Carly. She lives in a place called The Sunshine Barn, and cannot speak but can cluck like a chicken. Her character was introduced on the aforementioned premiere of The Sunny Side Up Show. She also makes occasional appearances on the "Sprout Sharing Show".

• Mr. Mailman is a cartoon character who delivers birthday cards and mail. Originally a part of The Birthday Show, the character was then featured in The Many Adventures of Mr. Mailman. Mr. Mailman and his daily duties were absorbed into The Sunny Side Up Show on September 26, 2007.
