Party Monster

[purplegrover]

I'm trying to help someone out with a Sesame-Street related question.

Does anybody know who the monster was on the 1986-1987 season of Sesame Street who always wanted to party?

I am stumped.

Thanks for your help.

I think this same topic was brought up EONS ago in the old forum...now, like I said -- don't quote me, but I think the monster's name was Leo.
I'm sure someone will come along soon enough to either affirm or correct me on that!

Hope that helps!

Why do you think the charachter only lasted a brief time?

Well, think about Don Music banging his head on the piano or Roosevelt Franklin -- a minority in a very rowdy classroom.

In an increasingly PC world, we can't offend and don't want to encourage bad behavior.
Maybe Leo was too much a "crazy party guy"....I don't agree with that, but I'm just saying what might have ran through some PC mind. Kind of sad I think!

I'm sure that Leo's parties wouldn't have gotten as out of hand as most of the house parties I've gone to in college! :p

Yep, it's Leo - and he was performed by Richard Hunt.

Does anyone have any episodes on tape with this charachter in them?
