Gonzo

Gonzo, formally known as "The Great Gonzo" or "Gonzo the Great", is the resident daredevil performance artiste on The Muppet Show. He is an odd looking, unclassifiable alien creature with blue fur, bug eyes and a long crooked nose. He takes pride in his uniqueness and enjoys everything that he does -- no matter how painful or ill-advised it may be. He was developed and performed by Dave Goelz, and made his first appearance in 1970 in a Christmas special, "The Great Santa Claus Switch".
