    Here's a phone interview with Elmo: and . It may be harsh, but it's the real Elmo that they're talking to.

    Why in the world would Kevin Clash put up with that stupid stuff?

    What was 'harsh' about it? Kevin handled that like a true professional; go, Kevin!

    I don't see what is so funny about the interviewer's loud, aggressive and rude ranting. It's not comedy - it's lazy and panders to an audience that thinks trying too hard to appear uneducated and being disrespectful is cool. I hope this is not what the future holds for entertainment. Elmo handled it nicely. Kevin Clash never dropped a beat. I think Frank Oz (probably the best Muppet performer of all time) would have bitten back and then hung up on this foolish radio hack. :mad:

    Ok I'm sorry but how on earth did someone who speaks like that get on the radio? I cringe when I hear someone speak like that. It just reeks of stupidity. Whats sad is it is not being done in an ironic way.

    Well i think that Muppets and radio don't mix, and DJ's don't really know how to deal with the Muppets. Witch come to think of it a lot of TV talk show personalitys don't ethier. I can think of only a hand full that do good with the Muppets on there show.

    Hasn't this been hip hop "talk radio" for years now? Seems like typical fare to me...

    The person (donshay?) who interviewed him sounds sort of ignorant or like a rapper. Who is this Donshay guy anyway? He sounds like the sort of person you want to punch! :mad: :wisdom: Anyway mainly his slang is so annoying. Pappet? Skreet? Where has he been? Koozebane? Its weird. Elmo seemed happy though. (remembering he's a muppet/puppet.):)
  11. antsamthompson9 Active Member

    What was harsh is that, they called Elmo a puppet.
  12. Fluffets New Member

    Well to be truly correct he called Elmo a "Pappet".
  13. antsamthompson9 Active Member

    Yeah, you're right.
  14. dwayne1115 Well-Known Member

    Well when he was recently on the Today show, Elmo said he had no idea what puppets where. On this however he did a great job in saying he is not a pappet or whatever but said he was a monster.
  15. Fluffets New Member

    Yes he did do a great job, anyone think he deserves an honourary Elmo smilie?:)
  16. antsamthompson9 Active Member

    That is ture.
  17. antsamthompson9 Active Member

    He certainly does deserve one.
  18. goldengonzo Member

    Part three is up!
  19. Fluffets New Member

    I would'nt say I'm one of those elmo-haters but he's just not my fave character, anyway i wish it were possible to make an elmo smiley.:D

    Here is part 3:.
