The Wiggles’ Lachy Gillespie, Anthony Field & Emma Watkins

The Wiggles have been encouraging youngsters to get up and get moving for nearly 30 years. The children’s music group was co-founded by Anthony Field, also known as the Blue Wiggle, in Australia. When three of the original members retired in 2012, Emma Watkins donned Yellow as the first-ever female Wiggle, while Lachy Gillespie took over as the Purple Wiggle and Simon Pryce became the Red Wiggle.

The Wiggles have sold more than 30 million DVDs and CDs, and 8 million books. As the way children consume entertainment has evolved, the group has made a point of ensuring that they are accessible wherever kids are. They are on air daily in 58 million homes across the U.S. on Universal Kids, and their YouTube channel has reached over 350 million views. Plus, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, the group’s latest TV series, gave life to a live show of the same name, for which The Wiggles have toured Australia and North America.

Field, Watkins and Gillespie recently sat down with TV Kids to talk about the brand’s enduring success and the new feel of the group.

I loved the original Wiggles. The new Wiggles took some getting used to but they're doing really well. I love them too.

Growing up on The Wiggles in the early 2000s was such a great part of my childhood! And now being able to share that love for The Wiggles with both my kids, is amazing. My 5 year old started out loving them as a baby, and now we share that love with his 6 month old sister ❤️

First started watching the wiggles about 1 year ago with my youngest daughter. The songs are great i catch myself singing them throughout the day. They are so good in fact.. i have the house to myself right now for the first time in YEARS... and here i am watching something about the wiggles lol. Whats wrong with me

I remember watching the wiggles in the middle 2000’s in 2011, 2012 and 2013!

Crazy how these 2 grew up on Greg, Murray, and Jeff, just as I did. You'd never imagine listening to a band only to become a member of the band 20 odd years later

I love these guys. I watch along with my kids and there's a joy they bring to my home. Emma is so beautiful and Lachy is so handsome and so easy on the eyes ❤

I’m 16 and grew up watching the original wiggles. The other day I listened to the new ones and I honestly agree that the older songs are better

I feel awkward for him to be in the middle while two people stare at you the whole time lol

I love Emma's smile. I just want to be best friends with her smile. 💛❤💙💜💚

I am 13 and I still watch the wiggles. Am I weird? I always wanted to be a wiggle but I live in Britain so never got to see them when I was little but I love them.

Honestly I really miss the original guys but the new 3 are really doing well.

[riley.g.tierney]

In my option the originals have the better songs
And the new are better for the kids/ entertainment for younger kids

Lachy is the boi he's cool, funny, and looks like he's a model bro.

Why is Anthony so silent in the recent episodes ? Mostly musical roles only

Little boys should just wear dresses if they want to be like Emma but the parents probably think stereotypical . I mean like if girls could wear shirts and pants and dresses why can't boys wear dresses they already wear shirt and pants everyday so I don't really see a problem but their parents grew up in a very different time and I'm also a kid and I'm 10 is it okay if I like Wiggles when I'm the same age and thank you for reading this long long comment I appreciate it (๑・v・๑)

Emma sings a lot nice than Lachy and Simon
