Rove interviews Kevin Clash - Elmo

[deathishuman555]

@UFP23 - he created elmo, he only came out in the '90s

[AngeloFerrior]

hehe lol

[supperstoner1]

trdub53 is better at the voice

[UFP23]

so who was elmo wen he was watching it?

[teamobabyguate]

awwww(:



[MexiBlaster]

You guys should check out his documentary it is very hear warming

[jojoce12]

elmo doesnt understand who this man is XD

[MrJRodSplooge]

Australian TV :D

[s0eViL]

Wow Elmo is black lol

[HippieEhMey]

That's awesome :)

[VIsupIV]

i still pretended like the dude wasnt there

[promodo]

Rove's first wife died about 6 months after this video was shot.

[Emocliae]

Did he say "it's because your wife isn't here?"

Didn't Rove's wife die? :S

[fwed1]

@Emocliae She died in November 2006, this video is from July. She was probably very sick but not dead.

[lionelchu]

That guy seems like a cool dude.

[Donrage9]

omg he looks like he's in his 20s :o

[ChubbyPenguin33]

he lived in my friends neighborhood

[rilestin14]

wow he's like 50 yrs old. fucking incredible

[xXMissFoxyXx]

Elmo and Kevin are adorable.

[JJitlpride]

Aw love it! What a nice man! Obviously what team muppets needed, somebody who is dedicated to keeping muppet magic alive, ahh!

[NickiGaGa1]

I never knew Elmo was played by a man until now. He seems like a really nice guy, though(:

[zegerdon]

Thats freaking cool!

[SuperTreysongzwife1]

I luv Elmo

[dannyferrary666]

never expected a black Guy (no racist )

[nellie2581]

@dannyferrary666 because the first person who did Elmo's voice was white (Richard Hunt), that's not a problem, there are not many black puppeteers

[RawrRawrAnAnDDe]

elmo is blackkk!!!?

[123Cory321]

my mom went to high school with him. he asked her if she wanted to play as a voice because its unique lol and she said no cuz shes too shy

[LuigiKat11]

I always thought the voice actor was some old asian woman

[McNuggetsPie]

@LuigiKat11 wtf

[pusssssyyyyyy]

kids are amazing ... sometimes.

[MrsWLeach]

Got a great idea..... Coronation Street is as BIG in Britain as Sesame Street is in North America....have some fun and do a bit of a Cross over. Have some of the Corrie cast on Sesame Street and the Sesame Street cast on Corrie!

[NStarStudiosLTD]

what you talking about, there are allready enough muppets on Corrie lol

[X3n0nFr33k]

this guy is so funny lol i love him and elmo!

[Evert1984]

128 people didnt got a tickle me Elmo from there parents

[xCF26]

Aww so cool and cute :D

[XmelloXnearX]

Wow, for a video about every kid's favorite puppet, there're a LOT of unpleasant comments. Jeeze, people, lighten up. I know it's funny and all that Elmo is voiced and operated by a black man, but I think he does a wonderful job, so what does it matter? :)

[TheSteveHands]

What happened at 5:42-5:44?

[EccentricSoulfly1]

fuck u uys elmo's red dumbass. Hes a monster he's not black or white, or hispanic. get over it.

[Taquee19]

@EccentricSoulfly1 NIGGA FUCK U OK THAT IS MY FAVRIOTE MEMORY U HEARTLESS BITCH I WOULD FUCK U UP PUSSY ASS HATER

[NiceCraft]

@Taquee19 Suicide please.

[EccentricSoulfly1]

@Taquee19 wow what a troll!!!!!!!

That really pissed me off I'm going to waste my time arguing with you.

pussy.

[EccentricSoulfly1]

@Taquee19 that's y he's red because he's supposed to teach kids about acceptance, not race or the color he is, idiot.

[KillaXIcex]

Yes ELMO!!! is black on the inside wop wop :P <3



[kiaina2004]

I luv elmo

[mikejada1]

THUMBS DOWN BOBBraDCraZy EVERYBODY!

[mikreab221]

I NEVER EVERT thought that elmo was black!

[Taquee19]

@mikreab221 LOL I THOUGHT HE WAS WHITE LMFAO

[KidsWithGuns1992]

I would have thought he'd be older, that's why I'm surprised. Elmo has been around for fucking ages, when I was young - when my brother was young (whose almost 30). I mean shieeet.

[TaylorSwiftIzKool13]

Just because the guy who talks as elmo is black dosent mean u have to be mean to him or elmo i mean we r all the same on the inside

[PREZILLA2009]

Any body noticed that Kevin clash is also the voice of splinter in the first and second live action ninja turtles?

[mikejada1]

@PREZILLA2009 You've got to be crapping me!!! Now I want to look some turtles up and see and hear for myself. ;-D

[phantastic013]

Shut up with the N word, fags, elmos gonna rob u bitch

[323fire]

Wtf... They told me elmo was real...:( smh

[Aliun625]

Why can't we all be like kids and not care what color people are?

[iAmAnonymousTom]

@Aliun625 Your comment reminds me, me being black: I worked for my local school district, as a bus driver in Colorado for 3 years (after moving from California). Loved the job, loved the kids. It was my first day picking up kids from a route w/ 2nd graders. One of the kids gets on and looks at me. His eye light up like a christmas tree, and he says: "You're brown!" I wasn't offended, just taken aback. Just thought I'd share that.^_^

[octoNinja]

@Aliun625 I disagree, I don;t think Elmo would be nearly as fun if he was the color of buggers.

[Aliun625]

@octoNinja What are buggers? :/

[lawlshane]

@Aliun625 Because that would make too much sense :(

[Dercommandingofficer]

@Aliun625 Thats programmed into our brains, nothing you can do about that Mr. Liberal.

[BOBBraDCraZy]

Cacker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker Cracker

[numba1zero]

Elmo's black... Soo what?... Every child likes Elmo... Bet your white kids like him too

[fate241]

[FATAL5150GOODIES]

MACELO?

Is That You, Mr. Nigger Lover?

[Trixen01]

Did anyone else notice that elmo says at the end "Whats wrong with you, well you're wifes not here.." - Roves wife died on Novemeber 11 2006.... That is a creepy foreshadowing.. ELMO IS PSYCHIC!

[TheBrydy123]

[kevinstoner420]

@kingstinky69 dude you a ignorant ass pussy, why dont you open your eyes and see the world around you. kingstinky69 needs to be murdered, i got the knives to do it. oh and just for the record, im white, and i am so ASHAMED that there are dumbass people like you that share my skin color. fuck you dude, this "nigger" as you call him, has done more good for humanity that you ever could with your rasist ways. so really, i think that you are the nigger. he is a decent human being.

[littlewolf223]

@kevinstoner420 um i don't think i have commented on this and i don't hate blacks my best friend is black so i'm a bit confused, I love kevin clash and elmo Kevin is my idol i want to be a puppeter so i'm sorry

You truly are a gutless, useless cowardly troll.

[kingstinky69]

[cr87129]

black people even dominate at muppeting ?

[vividflower9]

@cr87129 ik we amazing like that:)

[Hectorferjr2]

Kevin Clash did the voice of Master Spilnter in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II and the Secret of the Ooze.

[animelover12297]

OMG ELMO!!!! i love Elmo<3

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

Woooow, scrolling down the comments, you people are fucked up.

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

My sister told me I took away her innocence when I told her Elmo was black.

[vividflower9]

@xXxTwiggyzLovexXx  wow that rude

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

@vividflower9 I know! The stupid thing is, is that we have blacks in our family. A lot of blacks. But I love black people, they're bad ass! :D

[ccorr777]

ahhhhhh a black man is really elmo?!?!?

[vividflower9]

@ccorr777  what wrong with that

[jz1308]

@ccorr777 Its a colour of someones skin, does it honestly matter, will you not sleep at night now?

[fi7rf7irt7irt]

my grandbaby loves elmo

[nellie2581]

That's great

[Novur]

I forgot that this was done years ago, not recently, and the "It' because your wife's not here" comment hit the wrong cord. :\

[08JWR]

5:23 Elmo loves Wasabi

[Mrpicklebeak]

did anyone notice it skipped 6:31

[43Copenhagen]

I see raceism... Elmo's a beast!~!

[StaticAirsoft1]

elmo is RED... duh.! not black! I wonder where you got BLACK from...(cough)

[dexterKong]

ELMO LOVES WASABI

[arouska]

I always love seeing the muppet performers with their muppets, just because they intuitively emote the puppets, even as the puppeteers are the ones talking. Check out Carroll Spiney who does the voice of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.

[rutange02]

Know

[zZZzzzSnooze2nd]

he is also Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.

[Jobichi]

Kevin Clash is now my hero <3

[CheshireAndAliceee]

"ELMO LOVES WASABI. THAT'S WHY ELMO DOESN'T HAVE ANY EYELIDS."

ahahahahaha

[ca1cifer]

It's funny that Elmo's laugh is pretty much Kevin's laugh except higher.

[yungdutchy]

Elmo ino u bored af.. lol

[shelbycan]

This ruined the illusion :(

[yungdutchy]

@shelbycan racist much?.

[shelbycan]

@yungdutchy Are you jokes guy? My comment had nothing to do with race. The illusion that Elmo was his own person, not someone with his hand in a puppet. Get your shit straight

[tahshin1601]

@Gam3playa22 omg ur so cool

[jareds1007]

how smart is kevin clash? elmo is right there in the coversation...kevin is two people at once...very impressive

[bfly1]

Omg I hate that people make a big deal over the fact that the person who speaks for Elmo is black. It is not that serious what does his race have to do with anything. Kevin is a very talented and funny man judge him by that and not his skin color.

[HelterSkelet0r]

@bfly1 No-one is *judging* him by his color, I can honestly say that I was surprised because I just wasn't expecting Elmo to be voiced by a black man, I mean lets be honest, the Elmo voice and Kevin Clash's actual voice are vastly different. It doesn't mean I think less of him in any way.

[vividflower9]

@HelterSkelet0r ya ik im black and even i was suprised i though of him as a skiny white dude

[sortofanimationmaker]

Kevin's probably saying to his classmates "look who's teasing now bitch

[jonas72296Fan]

i believe hes real i luv him

[joshua9312]

@jonas72296Fan Me too. :D

[panzerjag]

Everybody Loves Elmo. Nuff' said

[TheSharnyaYoshihara]

Not what I excepted. I was thinking someone skinny and nerdy, not Jack and the bean stock. lol

[vividflower9]

@TheSharnyaYoshihara no funny

[vividflower9]

@vividflower9 not funny!

[superthunderpikachu]

Elmo doesn't know who this man is. LOL

[gopconservative78]

Elmo must be set of fire.........

[vividflower9]

@gopconservative78 ? rude

[bharte96]

Elmo's favourite cereal is wasabi :P

[jareds1007]

@bharte96 lol...that's why elmo doesn't have eyelids!! lol...do u know what wasabe is?! horseradish mustard coating...it goes on nuts and peas and all kinds of stuff. it really clears your airwaves! lol

[bharte96]

@jareds1007 lol! no eyelids! i have never been game to try wasabi, saw it in Japan almost everywhere. >.< i bet it does clear you airways!

[jareds1007]

@bharte96 it's not so bad! lol...try it! it's almost sweet at first....it tastes pretty good...if you like onions on your burgers, you'll like wasabi...but heck yeah...that's funny...elmo's favorite cereal! lol.

[GhostKitten92]

OMG THIS IS AWESOME 

[tghetto5]

[k5lta]

DAWWW WITTOL ELMO!!!!

[NicoleApparatusss]

[RomoFanatic24]

Wait......ELMO'S BLACK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[bfly1]

@RomoFanatic24 Yes the man who talks for Elmo is black damn its not that serious!

[nellie2581]

@RomoFanatic24 Yes since 1984, before that they were voiced by Carroll Spinney and another puppeteer who are white

[vividflower9]

@nellie2581 thats amazing?
