Baby Monster or pre-Elmo

I recall reading in Caroll Spinney's memoir that he performed Elmo for a while, back when he was still called Baby Monster. Do we know if he also performed the purple Baby Monster? Or is there confusion on that matter? -- Peter (talk) 17:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

We know he performed the purple Baby Monster at least once, in the First and Last sketch, because of the photo included in Sesame Street and the Reform of Children's Television. No confusion, though this is another instance where a performer box is probably misleading. Andrew Leal (talk) 17:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
