Modern Muppet Character Question

[Koozbanian Foob]

What was the name of the JHH character who was kind of pink/purple with bulging eyes.

Did he also appear on Muppets Tonight? I kind of thought he looked cool, but I don't know much about him.

Nope...Sorry

Clifford I know. This is a much stranger looking creature. At the time i thought he was going to be a new "Gonzo". He/it has no hair or fur, bulging yellow eyes (or maybe white- -I forget) and appeared to be a maintenance type guy on the Jim henson Hour.
I'm looking but I can't even find a good image!

Help!

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Maybe it was Leon? Both he and Clifford were voiced by Kevin Clash.

-Kim

 

[Fozzie Bear]

He was performed by Kevin Clash, I know who you're talking about, but can't recall the name. He appears (I think) in the bottom right corner of the JHH photo with the TV and Jim and Digit and Kermit and Waldo.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Yeah, Leon! He had a tail, too. did you know that? It was shown in "Secrets of the Muppets."

 

[Koozbanian Foob]

Got an image!



He's the guy in the background of this image:

Thanks to the new site Muppet Album for the picture!

What else has he been in? Anyone know anything else about him?

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Yup, that is Leon.

Leon

He was seen on "The Jim Henosn Hour" and on "The Cosby Show"
Epidode entiled "Cliff's Nightmare"



"CLIFF'S NIGHTMARE"

SYNOPSIS:
Cliff's late-night eating habits finally bite back, with a vengeance! His nightmare is filled with such Muppet characters as overstuffed talking sandwiches, back-talking refrigerator denizens and a bloodthirsty mob of creatures in the operating theater of Cliff's hospital . It seems that Cliff is scheduled to perform a delicate operation for their viewing pleasure, but he somehow winds up on the table as the patient, before waking up safe and sound in his own bed

Yes!

Cool!

I like Leon and I don't know why. There's something about him that's just so kooky.

I remember the Cosby episode too.

While I have the first 4 or 5 episodes of the JHH on tape, I missed "The Secrets of the Muppets". Must get a copy...must find...
