Elmo hand-and-rod puppet, 1969
Elmo made his first appearance as Baby Monster on the public television children's series Sesame Street around 1972. Following the huge success of the Tickle Me Elmo dolls, in 1998 Elmo became the host of "Elmo's World." The final segment of Sesame Street episodes, "Elmo's World" was specifically targeted to preschoolers. |
