Correction: Now it's ONCE a day! Sesame Too only comes on 9:00 AM now, and PWMS is currently off the air due to a Tiny Planets thing. Just thing, Elmo would've never become popular if Kevin Clash never took on the role, after Brian Muehl (sp?) leaving the show, and Richard Hunt hating Elmo, Kevin got lasoed into the role.

Correction again: Sesame Too is on once a day from Saturday thru Monday at 9:00 AM, and from Tuesday thru Friday, it's on twice a day, at 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM.

Yeah, I don't recall Richard's Elmo in anything, well except for "Follow that Bird" and that was only a breif non-speaking appearance. I do remember watching the show around the time Kevin started playing Elmo. He would appear on the street on occassion and in songs and skits, but not as much as now. Of course I knew who he was, (It's hard to forget the name of someone who refers to himself in third person) but I was much more familiar with Big Bird, Oscar, the Count, Bert and Ernie, etc.

According to A&E, Richard Hunt did Elmo in the "Me Cladius" Monsterpiece Theatre sketch.
