PHSesame Street's Guy Smiley's real name is Bernie Liederkrantz
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak was actually born as Patrick Leonard Sajdak and Jeopardy's main man Alex Trebek was originally George Alexander Trebek, which means that they only slightly altered their names for their on-screen careers.
But Sesame Street's resident game show host Guy Smiley reportedly went for something totally different when he opted for a stage name instead of his own. Turns out, his given name is Bernie Liederkrantz, which may also be spelled Bernie Liederkranz.
