12. Ever seen the person who "handles" Elmo?

I can't recall his name, unfortunately, but he's a big, handsome, utterly charming black man who's made a lifetime of bringing the sweetness and childlike character of Elmo to life. As a lifelong Muppets fan, I think I could die happy after being on Sesame Street. I've got FLOTUS envy!
