Bobo the Bear

Bobo the Bear appeared on Muppets Tonight as the jovial but bumbling security guard at the KMUP TV studio.

Bobo was featured prominently in the episode featuring guest star Cindy Crawford, in which Bobo fell in love with Crawford and made a number of clumsy attempts to woo her.

Ernst Stavros Grouper insisted that Bobo change his name to "Whitley Nibbles the Television Elf." On another episode, Bobo claimed his name was "Bizzo the Bat," in order to scam Rizzo out of food.

In Muppets From Space, Bobo played a character named Rentro, an assistant to Jeffrey Tambor's government agent character at the Top Secret Facility C.O.V.N.E.T. (which Bobo says is "cleverly disguised as a cement factory").

Bobo's most recent appearance was in Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony at movies.com, in which he was seen auditioning for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Bobo put on parodies of Star Wars characters such as Yoda: "'Careful you must be when sensing the future!' Geez, what is this guy, dyslexic or something?"

The Bobo puppet originally debuted as one of the bears that hibernated with Fozzie Bear in Muppets Take Manhattan (where he was performed by Jerry Nelson). The puppet was slightly altered when it was used as Bobo.
