False - He first appeared on Sam and Friends in 1955
True
He's not THE first, apparently Big Bird was the first character to appear, then Oscar the Grouch, then Bert & Ernie, then a group of random Muppets, and then Kermit appears w/ his 'W' lecture so yes he was in the original roster of Muppet characters when Sesame Street premiered but he was not the first.
According to Muppet Wiki (http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Kermit_the_Frog), the earliest version of Kermit first appeared in 1955 on a TV short program, Sam and Friends, that aired two times a day on WRC-TV.
The very first episode of Sesame Street was aired on November 10th, 1969.In the first episode of Sesame Street, Gordon takes a girl named Sally on a tour of Sesame Street, introducing her (and the viewers) to the various characters on the show. On the street, Sally meets the human cast -- Gordon, Susan, Bob and Mr. Hooper -- as well as two Muppet characters, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.Ernie and Bert appear for the first time, and Kermit the Frog gives a lecture on the letter W, interrupted by an early version of Cookie Monster.Also featured in this episode are the first installments of the "Number Song Series" and "Jazz" cartoons, the first appearance of a group of Anything Muppets, and the first performance of "One of These Things". Carol Burnett is the first celebrity guest to appear on the show.In this episode, many sketches are introduced by the characters, even within the inserts. This reflects the fact that the show was initially conceived as a children's version of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. For example, Gordon asks Kermit to give his W lecture, and when the sketch begins, Kermit says that Gordon asked him to talk about the letter W.
Cookie Monster has been on Sesame Street since it started, which I believe was 1969. I remember watching the premier episode. It was broadcast in prime time on PBS, but then moved to daytime for children to watch.
I think that it is a nice name so they made that name into sesame street!
