Kevin Clash Upstages as Elmo

You must watch this recent Associated Press video interview with British comedian Ricky Gervais and Elmo (as performed by Kevin Clash) and see how deftly Kevin’s quick wit and improv skills catch both Gervais and the interviewer off-guard.

Kevin published his autobiography, My Life as a Furry Red Monster, in 2006. The book received praise from both Muppets/Sesame Street fans and media critics alike, and more information is available on the RandomHouse.com official site. Also, check out these two YouTube videos with Rove McManus and Elmo both interviewing Kevin about his book.
