Marshal Grover is one of Grover's recurring characters on Sesame Street. Assisted by his trusty steed, Fred the Wonder Horse, Grover takes on the role of a marshal in the Old West.
He has made several appearances in a number of themed sketches with Fred, who is ever the voice of reason in Grover's perpetual inability to solve problems without a little help. An announcer (Jerry Nelson), using a Lone Ranger-style spiel about how Marshal Grover and Fred are "riding out of the pages of history," introduces four of the eight stand-alone sketches.
In addition to his various sketches, Marshal Grover has made various other appearances. Fred also made a cameo appearance in A Celebration of Me, Grover, attending Grover's benefit dinner.
Marshal Grover has also been made into assorted pieces of merchandise. He was featured in Grover's Monster Album and makes several other appearances in books.
