GroverGrover is a friendly, childlike Muppet in the children's television show Sesame Street. His character is multi-talented, taking on many different roles and professions throughout the series run. Grover described himself on the show as a "cute furry, little monster." He is fuzzy and blue, and much like other Muppets on the show in appearance. Grover does not use contractions when speaking, giving him a distinctive vocal pattern in comparison to most television characters. Grover was originally performed by puppeteer (now film director) Frank Oz. Since Oz has left the series, newcomer Eric Jacobson has taken over the role. Grover may have been named after former US president Grover Cleveland. It is also speculated, however, that the Muppet Workshop and Sesame Workshop chose this name because it was out of vogue and unlikely to unintentionally offend many viewers. Appearances The Grover character appeared in the following memorable skits: He is perhaps most remembered for the now famous "Near, Far" sketch, in which he demonstrated the positional concepts until he fainted from exhaustion, and also for his role as Super Grover.
