Elmo interviews Kevin Clash: My Life as a Furry Red Monster

[mapeter2389]

elmo turn three and a half AGAIN!!!! haha

[stigler30]

You wouldn't think a black guy would be able to talk in such a high voice.

[TheCarlitosbug]

How come Elmo is interviewing his puppeteer Kevin Clash?

[ToyStoryNBarneyFan]

Wow

[SPARTANL795]

Why is it when Kevin says contact with the children Elmo looks at his "crotch"?

[MegaMichaelMan]

@danthecat21 he's "working elmo so hard"

[MetFanMac]

2:42 OMG LAUGHING SO HARD AT ELMO'S EXPRESSION

[SEHANO]

Who would've thought that Elmo was really some big Black dude? haha

[Krazyful20]

'Elmo turns 3 1/2.....again!' Lmao

[Crazee108]

Okay dumb question -- but how did they do that? O_O did they just shoot it twice?

[VxTKillerTom]

Fuck Elmo is older than me!

[777MasterMind777]

There are plenty of ways they could have done this...everyone has correct suggestions but I have not seen anyone say "masking". All you film editors will know what I'm talking about. That's what I would've done if I made this video.

[lisst17]

"elmo's feeling a little disconnected........... hahahahha cold hands mr kevin!!" omg. IM DYING.

[ariedlin]

i think they filmed elmo's voice and then someone else is doing keven, or he is talking through lips

[ccorr777]

cold hands:P

[Hippoman141]

HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwww

[jonnycool123]

Dear, god !!!

[doureuh]

Hihihi, how he says 'mister Kevin', so funny

[awarren92]

Or maybe they filmed Elmo doing the interview, then filmed Kevin answering the question...then somehow put the two together digitally. Or like somebody else said they probably got someone else to do the voice

[Superstarseven]

@awarren92 I'm pretty sure they got someone else to do the puppeteering rather than those other theories.

[idalisrocroyalyoung]

if both his hands on the table who playinq elmo?? 0.o

[SanDiegoSouth]

Kevin Clash is a cool name!

[Oluwatoyin09]

"Elmo is feeling very disconnected." ahahahahaha "Cold hands" ..ahahahahahaha ... too cute.

[Zaikry]

1.15 aaaawwwwwww!!!

[mcbridsr]

Kevin's voice is so deep

[Geniune1]

these captions are really fucked up to read

[icecreamcakes]

I woulda punched elmo in the face if he said mhmm one more time while im talkin lmaoo

[VaR336]

Juihgjjoojijhgyuqhahmnkljjpu kq

[RedXSkii]

ROFLMAO turn captions on at 1:18 it says "im glad we found each other homo"

[RedXSkii]

i wish if i got high with this guy he would talk like elmo uncontrolably DO YOU REALIZE HOW FUNNY A BIG AFRICAN AMERICAN TALKING LIKE ELMO WOULD BE IN REAL LIFE??

[SergeantSkateboard]

2:14 "it's non smokers here"

[philliedit]

LOL! At 1:19, turn on audio transcription and it reads "um... i'm glad we found each other homo" aha

[xxiluvallthePOISONxx]

I love this video, but watching this with the captions on is hilarious! <3 Elmo

[mutantbutterfly87]

It was kind weird at the end when Elmo was giggling and saying "cold hands Mr. Kevin" just sayin

[LEGOSHALEpielol]

1:14 + Captions = LOL

[sfrewerd]

How is elmo talking without kevin controlling him?

[psxdever]

@sfrewerd pre-recorded.

[oldedrick]

@psxdever oh

[bluey12qi565]

@sfrewerd that's exactly what I thought!

[collgoff]

@sfrewerd Maybe some other performed Elmo while Kevin is at the table after he record Elmo's voice.

[takaylaalicia]

@sfrewerd LOL its a split screen

[sjonessonejs]

@sfrewerd What are you talking about? Elmo's alive. They just use a puppet that looks like him.

[treyweeeee]

At 1:25 does elmo say "...tell the random ass people..."?

[kingoffongpei]

@treyweeeee loool I think he said "Random House", the name of a big publishing company.

[treyweeeee]

@kingoffongpei makes sense seeing that the user is @randomhouseinc lol Thank you for the clarification!

[Bingo1059]

"Cold hands mr kevin!!!"""

Um... Nasty. 

[katiethesingerr123]

When Elmo said people are surprised when they meet Kevin, I though he was going to say they're surprised he's black

[jovemako]

good grief- Elmo's old enough to have a beer! and the cold hands comment.....lol

[MissCatsRoar]

Elmo turns 3 and a half, AGAIN.

[tariqseif]

[edensinyourpants]

at Elmo's next Birthday, Elmo turns 3 1/2... again!

[yramog]

Elmo: You can come up now Mr Kevin,

Guy rises up from underneath Elmo

Kevin: "getting too old for this"

LOL

[hstrzina]

[ThaRemixer130]

[RERDZ]

[Hermione4]

[Kookenoo]

[Dylanishable]

[XxFlamexHeadxX]

@Dylanishable he said "luck"

[TreystaFiran]

@Dylanishable BOOK LOL,

[tab570]

[letzteversion]

[alissasedai25]

[pennybug12]

I ♥ Elmo. :)

[GamerFreak909]

book time with elmo!? it clearly says book talk with elmo. Clearly a fail.

[isawesomelike]

so elmo is actually 23 and a half + wow!!!

[danthecat21]

Uhh..What was mr kevin doing under the table?

[dtmtung]

@danthecat21 "You can come up now Mr. Kevin"

"I'm getting too old for this..."

O_O

[InvaderPark]

lmao if you turn on subtitles and go to 2:13 it says non-smokers here rolf. it says other weird things too. :D

[Raxer21]

Good lord can you imagine how amazing it would be to talk to your own creation?

[texjan8]

@Raxer21 god does it everyday!

[tracemaster100]

@Raxer21 that would be awesome, especially if your creation was hot. (weird sience)

[DaThings1]

My life as a Furry?

[kajack100]

he looks like a really nice i guy i wish i can meet him :)

[TheAvenueQfan]

This is so CUTE!!!!

[tincan4444]

1:57-2:05

weird that he can do that O_O

[collgoff]

Well Elmo is 3 in a half in puppet years but he is late 20's in people years.

[collgoff]

Well last week I red some news theres going to be movie about Kevin Clash.

Can you beleive it! first he worte a book and now this.

[Valeriexoxoxo]

if Kevin Clash is doing the voice of elmo, and elmo is interviewing Kevin, who's doing the voice of elmo?

[SuperBlackChic]

@Valeriexoxoxo There's five people who voice Elmo, but Kevin is the main guy.

[Valeriexoxoxo]

@SuperBlackChic ffffffive???? OMG

[Cinemastique]

@SuperBlackChic Exactly. Almost all the Muppets (Sesame Street and Mainline) have several "understudies" for use in group scenes and situations like this, in addition to situations where an actor gets laryngitis or calls in sick. Those understudies are usually trained personally by the main actor.

[msdesoto05]

@Valeriexoxoxo I was thinkin the same thing, Maybe they just did the motions and movements of elmo's part during the interview and then went back and did a voice over. Somebody else probably was feeding the questiobs to Kevin Clash for the time being.

[xIegionx]

Who's voicing elmo if Kevin Clash is being interviewed by him? Either someone who can impersonate it, or they dubbed Kevin's voice on later onto the final product

[lovebaby488]

@xIegionx thats what I was wondering! lol

[korkiwi]

It's understandable but it still is funny how when Elmo takes a drink of the milk, the amount of milk in the glass remains the same. XD

[cheerleaderskick]

ADORABLE I tell you!

[EliteBusJr]

i wonder how much this man makes...

[ogechi321]

@EliteBusJr $5 Million USD

[TherealRNO]

Kevin Clash = Elmo, Hoots the Owl, Baby Sinclair (Dinosaurs), Splinter (TMNT 1 and TMNT2: Secret of the Ooze), et al. Just like Frank Oz is still Grover and Bert, was Miss Piggy, Cookie Monster, part of the Swedish Chef, and of course Yoda (Star Wars).

[breadandbutterr]

@carlosjulio20, i meant what did the producers mean for it to mean 

[popsita]

haha oups elmo, you are 23 years old.

[breadandbutterr]

What is the ending meant to mean... LOL

[CarlosJulio20]

@breadandbutterr you know... ;)

[animgirl22]

omg....that ending! SOOOO WRONG

[getoharmony23]

Kevin Clash you rock!! Thanks for making Elmo a universally loved figure :)

[ronniepage]

aw man it was pre-recorded

[anthonymeyza]

2:42 is epic lols xD

[blogheads]

If he is the voice of elmo, then who is talking when he isn't talking?

[RichMaxwell]

@blogheads uhm...ever heard of a Recording?

[MsTreysongz1]

omg i love this guy,

[MsTreysongz1]

omg , is he the voice of elmo??????

[mboromboroone]

5:03 - 5:20 a fine line between innocent stupidity and down right perverted pedophilia

[mastachiefs49]

Mr kevin just got done blowing elmo I see

[TherealRNO]

@mastachiefs49: Umm...Kevin Clash IS Elmo. Without Kevin's voice and performance, Elmo would be lifeless.

[ellieandbuster]

My daughters and I met Kevin today at an USO/Sesame Street event. He was the nicest guy and so awesome with all the kids. 

[ClaynationDude2013]

3 and a half...but yet he's known elmo for 20 years?! midlife crisis maybe?

[ILYMusic911]

omfg the ending was the best hilarious crap lol

[Zdk15]

Holy Shit, That Ending.....That was so fucking dirty. I feel like I just watched Elmo porn.

[kmistiii]

WHATS WITH THE SICK ENDING?!?

[Wierdgirl5834]

umm the ending

[januslee114]

like the way Elmo drinks!He's cute and the amount of the liquid remained unchanged.

[drunkenmunkytootiedo]

Love how Elmo refers to himself in the 3rd person.

[spikerdude111]

lool at 5:12 elmo said "cold hands mr kevin!!" err awkward?

[WH2012]

@spikerdude111 HILARIOUS!

[muppetfan33]

@spikerdude111 I see what you mean.

[jkeil11]

goddamn... awkward ending

[redmustang03]

Ha that's so funny and weird he's interviewing himself.

[soildman595]

hahah

[jusosa]

I dont know y everyone is soo negative he is the phenominal of elmo he made him he deserves the credit how would u feel if everyone liked u for ur puppet?? this guy deserves credit

[mmadeathmachine]

i never knew elmo was black

[tjv323]

[Hellyazmaster200]

[tjv323]

@Hellyazmaster200 you're not the only one. but this is a kids show :D

[floooble3]

How can you NOT like this? xD

[vamtire]

[cijackson1]

Elmo does NOT laugh too much. :D

[azboi911]

"u have cold hands"

[ana17usa]

[m1k3y0011]

[KierstenAstronaut]

@m1k3y0011 they record it then add it in later (:

[TherealRNO]

@m1k3y0011: It is pre-recorded w/ green green.

[nellie2581]

I love Kevin and Elmo!

[Joker10487]

no better finish than oral at the end

[abcdefghijklmnop6407]

these are 2 different shots right, cause there talking at the same time,

and his hands are on the table :/

[cijackson1]

@abcdefghijklmnop6407  Correct. :D

[nzkiwiwhiteboy]

No matter who you are,you cant hate elmo.

[nellie2581]

@nzkiwiwhiteboy That's right! he's so adorable. I even have a T-shirt and sweater with Elmo on them...

[HitmanAssassin11]

haha elmo turns 3 and a half, again

[kaleelee2309]

@HitmanAssassin11 i caught that too. lmao

[TheDaniPep]

The very end was akward...

[JailOuchI]

LOL @ 4:39 - 4:42

[ghiking]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO "Mr kevin you must have been nervous"

[Fupper16]

Son of a bitch! I didnt know Elmo is gay!

[geminirock19]

elmo could not be any cuter!!

[brandaddy0]

@B1random

aaaah, thanks for the insight! i didn't even bother to read the production company name. thanks again!

[cgurl1012]

how does he control elmo with his hands up on the table?!?!?

[BakaToushirou]

@cgurl1012 camera tricks ~ the kelvin next to elmo is a fake in the 1st take with elmo ~ its kinda like a 2 take move ~

[onealhart54]

@BakaToushirou they recorded kevin first

[BakaToushirou]

@onealhart54 oh ... thanks bro =)

[AdobeExcel]

@cgurl1012 Elmo has other puppeteers, though Kevin is the main puppeteer. What I wonder is how he does the voice as elmo talks. Is it prerecorded?

[TherealRNO]

@AdobeExcel: It is pre-recorded. Kevin Clash IS Elmo, since Kevin fleshed out the character out a random monster puppet.

[jewishdad]

5:14 elmo gets fondled

[brandaddy0]

@B1random

haha that's cool:], but still doesn't answer my question!

[brandaddy0]

does emlo say, " tell the random ass people how we got together?" at 1:26

[Supersupernatify]

Why do you work elmo so hard mr kevin??!

[yes24680]

it's mr. kevin's brother mr. kevin

[someguynamedelan]

I wonder whose puppeteering Elmo.

[jewishdad]

@someguynamedelan

he is... he pre-recorded elmos lines

[goo83]

funny he was also the voice of Splinter (TMNT 1 & 2) as well.

[mrgamingdork]

I love to see Elmo and Kevin connect,Elmo is like an completly diffrent person.Well Kevin is Elmo and Elmo is Kevin.They both meet and connect,both charaters and prosonas meet perfectly.I love elmo and hope when i have kids elmo still be around.
