Grover's Mommy plays an integral but often unrecognized role on Sesame Street. For many years, she was seen almost exclusively in print, including a number of illustrated books starring her son Grover, in many different incarnations. She was also occasionally seen in photographs, as a photo puppet, such as on the cover of The Sesame Street Treasury Volume 4. Over the course of time, her appearance has fluctuated greatly.

In her first appearance in puppet form, she was gray-green in color (similar to the first Grover puppet). In later appearances, she has blue fur like her son.

Performances[]

  • Her earliest known appearance as a Muppet is a 1972 sketch in which Grover speaks to the viewer about being afraid of the dark. At the end of the sketch, his mom (voiced by Frank Oz and puppeteered by Jerry Nelson[1]) enters his room to kiss him good night.
  • The Alphabet: The Great Alphabet Play depicts her presenting her son with some noodles while earning the Mommy of the Month award. In the read-along audio tape, she is voiced by Fran Brill.
  • In Elmo's World, she appeared (performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo) in the "Families" episode with Super Grover as her own alter-ego, "Super-Mommy." Grover crash lands, screaming "Moooommy!" and his mom follows yelling "Soooonny!" crashing on top of him. They recover, acknowledge each other, and both faint. (Super Grover also refers to his mother — "Her name is Super Mommy!" — in a sketch with two boys fighting over an apple.)
  • She appears in the cold open of Episode 4618 (again performed by D'Abruzzo).
