The Evolution of Grover (1967-present)
| Image | As seen in | Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| | The Ed Sullivan Show | 1967 | A character called "Gleep" makes an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. He has a small red nose and greenish-brown fur. |
| | Sesame Street Season 1 | 1969 | In the first season of Sesame Street, a nameless character appears who would later evolve into Grover. Kermit refers to him as both "Fuzzy-face" and "The Hairy One," but neither are used for his actual name (see "Fuzzyface"). His voice is slightly more abrasive than the Grover known today, but he tries to be helpful. He has dark green fur and an orange nose. |
| | Sesame Street Season 2 | 1970-1997 | The character is introduced as Grover in the first episode of Season 2. Grover is blue, and his nose is pink. His lower jaw is rounder. |
| | Sesame Street | 1980s-2003 | The design is basically the same, with some minor alterations in the eye placement and the head shape. Grover's fur is often groomed, combed and matted down more. |
| Jimmy Kimmel Live | 2004-on | Grover becomes slightly shaggier, and his eyes are slanted more than before (similar to the 1970s Grover). |
