Everybody knows Elmo, the fire-engine red dynamo with the positive attitude and infectious giggle. The outgoing, curious little monster is a perennial optimist who’s full of wonder as he discovers the world. With his childlike innocence, Elmo can turn almost anything into a game and invite his friends to join him in the imaginative fun.
Elmo first appeared on Sesame Street in 1979, though he was known simply as Little Monster until 1980-81. His personality wasn’t fully formed until Kevin Clash began performing the character in 1985. Clash developed the monster’s trademark giggle and positive outlook on life, and Elmo began to resonate with kids and parents alike. Now he’s a superstar!
Along with his beloved pet goldfish Dorothy, Elmo hosts Sesame Street’s “Elmo’s World” segments.
