The Significance of Elmo’s Character in Pop Culture According to the show, this legendary muppet is three and a half years of age, and his birthday is on February 3rd. What is really curious and interesting about Elmo is that he generally avoids pronouns about himself, and he chooses to refer to himself in the third person. Although Elmo was a beloved character worldwide, some fans were not happy about his prominent status. The main complaint that they had was about dramatically reduced roles of some older characters such as Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Prairie Dawn, Count von Count, Cookie Monster, and Grover. Elmo’s character was portrayed by Jerry Nelson between 1980 to 1981, and later on, Richard Hunt took that job over from 1984 to 1985. During the last year that Richard Hunt portrayed Elmo, he got very frustrated, and he squeezed and threw the puppet at Kevin Clash, who afterward got the job and voiced Elmo for the longest period to this day.
