Big Jeffy



Big Jeffy is a member of Little Jerry and the Monotones on Sesame Street. Big Jeffy was the bass singer and was considered to be the fourth member of the band, as mentioned in "Four". Though part of the group, him and the other Monotones appeared absent in a 1970 sketch demonstrating "Forward" and "Backward" with Little Jerry, other Hippie Muppets, the proto Grover, and a Hot Pink Anything Muppet leading the lecture.

He also appeared as a member of Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats in the songs "I Go to School", "Kindergarten", and "Gonna Rock You to Sleep", in which he replaced the Lavender Alphabeat in those songs.

He has also appeared without Little Jerry or Little Chrissy in the 1987 special A Muppet Family Christmas, as a background character.

For the song "Mountain of Love", Big Jeffy's character was replaced with the puppet for the Pumpkin Monotone.

Big Jeffy was named after and usually performed by Jeff Moss, though Jerry Nelson performed him in a sketch where the Monotones assist Grover in demonstrating the word "walk".

During his gigs with Little Chrissy, his hippie garb was replaced with a red Alphabeat shirt. For Little Jerry and the Monotones' comeback appeareance in a 2000 episode, he got a new revised look with a white shirt, a fringed leather vest, and medallion.
