"Hey there, frog!"

Fuzzyface was the name used for Grover in the early episodes of Sesame Street. He had a more abrasive voice and personality than Grover eventually would, and he had green fur instead of blue.

In Episode 0083, Fuzzyface appeared in one of Kermit's Lectures, helping Kermit explain the word "In".

On The Ed Sullivan Show on Christmas Eve, 1967, he appeared as Gleep. His voice was a cross between Bert and Fozzie Bear. He later made a cameo appearance on Muppets On Puppets in 1968 with the Rock and Roll Monster. The puppet would be used again as Grover's mother in a sketch in which Grover is afraid of the dark and has trouble sleeping.

Trivia

When Jim Henson painted his infamous dressing room pipes on The Jack Paar Show, he used a piece of the original Grover's fur as hair for one of the faces on the pipes.
