Meet the REAL Elmo...

External Image
Elmo is Sesame Street's most recognizable character ever! Since his debut in 1985, this cuddly creature has tickled kids red with his sweet voice. Elmo's unprecedented fame makes his Muppeteer a multimillionaire and seven-time Emmy winner!

This is the first time Muppeteer Kevin Clash has appeared with Elmo!

Kevin says he became the voice of Elmo after another Muppeteer turned down the opportunity. "He didn't like it," Kevin says. "It was too cutesy for him."

If you're surprised by the big guy behind the little voice, you're not alone. "It's wild," Kevin says. "[People] expect me to be a little, short bald-headed guy with glasses."

aww. Kevin's a really nice guy. I have met him a few times, and he was the one responsible for making my proposal such an awesome story. My FH used to do all the recording for sesame street and Kevin offered to help him with the proposal. I will always have him to thank for such a wonderful memory!
