Clifford

 Performer: Kevin Clash

Clifford is a hip humanoid Muppet. He is purple, with long, pink and purple dreadlocks. He is often seen wearing sunglasses.

Clifford first appeared on The Jim Henson Hour, where he was the bass player for the band Solid Foam. His next major appearance was in The Muppets at Walt Disney World, where he joined the Electric Mayhem as an auxiliary percussionist.

Clifford's most prominent role to date was his job as host of Muppets Tonight. In his previous appearances, he had been depicted as a laid-back character, but the pressures of hosting the show often caused him to lose his cool.

Clifford appeared in two of the Muppet movies. He had a fairly large role in Muppets From Space where he earned his title as the Muppet Boarding House's expert on all things cool. He appeared in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz as the bouncer for the Poppy Seeds nightclub.

Clifford was made into an Clifford Action Figure in Series 6 of the Palisades Toys line of Muppet action figures.

Clifford was designed by Kirk Thatcher and built by Tim Miller.
