A bunch of money-hungry attention whores managed to singlehandedly destroy Kevin Clash's life's work, without giving two fucks about it. I hope those assholes suffer in every way possible.
I Love Elmo and I'm 20 years old Kevin Clash make a great Elmo you are bless to have awesome & a fun job continue to make children's smile that's all that matters :)
Elmo's very first appearance (a song about monsters, I can't remember what it was called) also had him with a gruff voice, and a thick New York accent. Funnily enough, the only version of that song that Sesame Workshop will circulate has Kevin's voice dubbed over it!
I truly feel sorry for Kevin, a man with so much love in his heart, and so much talent, who endured a childhood of bullying and scorn for who he was. He finally achieves his life's ambition of becoming a core Henson puppeteer, and in many ways becomes the biggest reason Sesame Street is still a phenomenon, and out come a few pathetic, shameless vultures looking to make a buck by attempting to ruin him. Fwiw I support Kevin 100%, and would jump at the chance to have him childmind for my daughter
Reporter: "Does it surprise people when they find out Elmo is a middle age black man?".........that's what's wrong with America, everything has to be about race. She couldn't say "middle-aged man"?
There will always be a preconception that black men can't play characters with high voices, it just what happens. I'm black and I'm guilty of this sometimes.
Dear Young Black Man, So she also can’t say “man” that’s SEXIST nor “middle-aged” that’s AGEIST! She was simply describing him. So what CAN she say? 🤔 Sincerely, A middle-aged white-hispanic woman 😂
Kevin really has "it". He is the heart and soul of Elmo. I respect him for walking away when it became clear that the allegations against him would become a distraction if he stayed. Still, Elmo isn't really Elmo anymore. Ryan Dillon has the voice down for sure but Elmo's heart is and always will be with Kevin. Hopefully, he's doing well wherever he is and maybe someday, he can find his way back to doing what he clearly loves.
I am 29 years old and I have been a fan of Sesame Street, especially Elmo, since I was 3 years old. Elmo is so adorable! Even though I am an adult, I will be a Sesame Street fan for the rest of my life!
One little red puppet that changes lives more than our own politicians. Saw this documentary in the Spring...didn't expect to get a perfect mix of laughs and tears. An emotional journey about following your dreams. Definitely a movie that anybody with or without a heart should see.
Since there's been so little "old evidence" re-released up to now, it hasn't been entirely clear if Richard Hunt actually performed a character called "Elmo" or if it was just a recurring but nameless red monster who didn't assume the "Elmo" identity until Clash took him over. This certainly clears that up. But yeesh---it's probably a long shot that we'll ever see much more of Hunt's Elmo. Releasing it would cause a lot of confusion among the kids. They'd freak out! XD
sadly that is a reoccurring incident in the life of Muppeteers. I think their partners forget to remember that hey were puppeteers before they were married and will be forever. This kind of passion just doesn't go away.
nahhh that's 00:53 🐻🤢🤦♀💀 keys of emojis I mean 🐻= Tight__(If you listen closely, you hear something like *grm...!*) 🤢= Cringe__(Pass me the bleach. I now have just one brain cell left...) 🤦♀= Questionable__(Just why? *That's all I have to ask.*) 💀= That episode is old__(*This was Episode 2215.* It aired on 2 May 1986.)
My favourite Muppet is actually Cookie Monster, but Elmo is DEFINITELY second! Then it's Kermit and Miss Piggy :P It is true why people love Elmo. Elmo loves everybody and that is a quality that so many of us take for granted!
I don't blame Kevin Clash about his daughter. Things like that happen. Just ask the children of the founders of Barbie. Same thing happened. It happens. You get caught up in it. But it's okay once you change.
Why Kevin why, you are one of my heroes and yet you only performed the Little Red Menace, but look at it this way, no Elmo no new episodes, so Long Live Kevin Clash and I guess Long Live Elmo
I just knew that the allegation was wrong! You never know what's going on behind closed doors but to let down parents and children I can't see it. I pray this has not damaged Elmo... I don't think someone with so much to lose would put it at risk or I hope not.
