Why Does Kevin Clash ave so little regualr muppet charcters?

[Misan]

Why only Clifford? Why not bring back mulch let him have Sam and Animal agian and possibly Rowlf instead of giving all the charaters to the very talent Bill.

From what I've heard, Kevin is really busy performing on Sesame Street these days. In the Muppet Wizard of Oz, Clifford was performed by another Muppeteer while Kevin only dubbed Clifford's voice.

Think about it Elmo is everywhere, he does regular TV appearences, all the merchandising, all the voice over work, and filming the show and all of the DVDs that come out. and kevin has a daughter too so he prob spends time with her as well.

Only way I see it that he can do more muppets if Disney gives him more money than sesame so he he can lay off Elmo.

Elmo is a major worldwide success. I'm not sure he needs to do any other characters. Not for a few years at least.

I wish he'd come back to the muppets world and bring Leon back with him yes I said LEON!

This also shows how busy he'll continue to be...

SESAME WORKSHOP PROMOTES EMMY WINNER KEVIN CLASH TO SENIOR CREATIVE ADVISOR
Kevin Clash, the Muppeteer behind the world’s most high-spirited and beloved three-and-a-half-year old character, has agreed to expand his role, accepting an appointment to Senior Creative Advisor for Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street. In this capacity, Clash will provide his expertise and broad range of creative talent to many of the Workshop’s projects, including domestic and international productions of Sesame Street and outreach projects on multiple media platforms. In addition, he will work to nurture ideas for new properties and foster broader distribution for all projects, while continuing his responsibilities as Muppet Captain for the Sesame Street production team and performing as Elmo. Clash will report to Gary E. Knell, Sesame Workshop’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Over 20 years ago, Kevin single-handedly created a phenomenon: a wonderful, enthusiastic, furry red Monster named Elmo who would later travel anywhere and everywhere to bring joy and important life lessons to children and their caregivers,” said Knell. “The Workshop is indeed privileged to have Kevin’s ongoing commitment to our programs, and most importantly our cause, creating media to help children the world over smile, blossom and grow.”

Single-handedly...well yes he did create the character, which is great. But he wouldn't have gotten it in the first place without Richard Hunt. Just wanted to point that out (as Kevin always does).

I was thinking about this last night. Kevin Clash is an amazing performer. I was watching him on Youtube during an interview and his improve was hilarious. I was actually laughing big time while watching Elmo. Sadly, Kevin is more than just Elmo. He's highly involved in Sesame Street and teaches workshops and such as well. I'd love to see him come back to the Muppet Show Muppets, but not to take over Sam and Animal. I love the idea of Eric taking all of Frank's characters, especially since he's good at it. I want Kevin to bring back the original Clifford and Leon and more. Heck, I'd even like to see Elmo more. Elmo can be a very funny character for adults when not restricted to Sesame Street.

I would love to see Leon again! I also wish to see more of Clifford (with his shades).
