This bug-eyed muppet’s little-known fact is that he was on season 2 of America’s Next Top Model, but was cut early on in the show. Not because his blep wasn’t perfect, or because he didn’t have the perfect, vacant, model gaze, but because he wasn’t stirring up enough drama for the producers to think he would make good TV. Don’t worry, Elmo, we’ll give you all the congeniality awards!
Here’s some notes from his foster:
It’s Elmo’s world! This little muppet is a puddle of love. He prances around, excited to greet everyone he meets. Elmo loves going for walks in the city (though will happily spend much of it in his human’s arms if it’s too long!) and is as comfortable in a loud, urban environment as he is tooling around a quiet, cozy backyard. He is a lover … sometimes maybe a little too enthusiastically! He is comfortable around dogs and cats and wants to play and explore, but he needs a little help letting him know when they no longer want him to. Elmo spends much of his day snoozing and cuddling, unless his human leaves the room – then he prances along after. While he might not have the energy of his adorable red namesake, Elmo certainly has his charm. This little velcro muppet is ready to dance his way into your heart.
