Answer : ELMO
Elmo is a red Muppet character on the long-running PBS/HBO children’s television show Sesame Street. A furry red monster with a falsetto voice, he also hosts the last full fifteen-minute segment (five minutes since 2017) on Sesame Street, “Elmo’s World”, which is aimed at toddlers. He was most often puppeteered by Kevin Clash, but since his resignation in late 2012, he has been puppeteered by Ryan Dillon.
Elmo is self-described as three-and-a-half years old and his birthday is on February 3. Elmo characteristically avoids pronouns in reference to himself, instead referring to himself in the third person (e.g. saying “Elmo wants this” instead of “I want this”).
The character of Elmo was originally conceived as a supporting character and background character in the late 1970s. It first appeared in the 1980 Sesame Street song, “We Are Monsters”. Elmo then eventually became a recurring character on Sesame Street, and later appeared as a supporting character appearing in segments in later episodes of the show. In 1985 puppeteer Kevin Clash started performeing Elmo. Clash said that Elmo should be a character who is kind and loving. Sesame Street staff writer Nancy Sans says that “one day in 1985, Kevin Clash, a talented puppeteer, raised him up and brought energy and life into Elmo and from that day forward we would all write for Elmo. Kevin’s performance inspired the writers to develop Elmo’s character”. John Tartaglia, Matt Vogel, and Jim Martin have all been secondary performers for the character, providing movement for Elmo’s arms and legs, particularly in green-screen shots.
