Self-described as lovable, cute and furry, he is a monster who almost never uses contractions when speaking or singing.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrover first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in a Christmas Eve appearance in 1967. He was referred to as \"Gleep\", a monster in Santa's workshop. He later made a cameo appearance in The Muppets On Puppets in 1968 with the Rock and Roll Monster. In 1969, clad in a necktie, he appeared in the Sesame Street Pitch Reel in the board room sequences. During the first season of Sesame Street, the character was nicknamed \"Fuzzyface\" or \"The Hairy One\", though neither would be used for his actual name. By the second season of Sesame Street, he had acquired his present name and his appearance was changed to the more familiar puppet with blue fur and a pink nose, however the original puppet was subsequently used for the initial appearance of Grover's mother[citation needed]. Grover's birthday is October 14[citation needed].\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Grover","playStationPath":"/stations/269935575/play","stationId":269935575,"bioPath":"/music/Grover/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Bob+McGrath","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ff0/ff000476a1c5f2767f8a1b8aec2de3fe_md.jpg","artistName":"Bob McGrath","artistId":89324,"station_id":272990351},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Backyardigans","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/636/6369c9574803f3a568c1e6ac549e9f49_md.jpg","artistName":"The Backyardigans","artistId":11073,"station_id":113534563},{"musicPath":"/music/Frances+England","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d5c/d5c8858e62455c1a9ebce8f34ef2db0e_md.jpg","artistName":"Frances England","artistId":86514,"station_id":269935572},{"musicPath":"/music/Charlotte+Diamond","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/304/304e01ccbde47af7865b4ac877d99a2a_md.jpg","artistName":"Charlotte Diamond","artistId":86405,"station_id":269935544},{"musicPath":"/music/Oscar+the+Grouch","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/df6/df67171f34aafcd22cfa7d91e9cc8fc3_md.jpg","artistName":"Oscar the Grouch","artistId":455857,"station_id":401250118},{"musicPath":"/music/Choo+Choo+Soul","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/959/95917dc1bd1b7b680604f5c24ee6684a_md.jpg","artistName":"Choo Choo Soul","artistId":102783,"station_id":280469089},{"musicPath":"/music/Lisa+Loeb+Elizabeth+Mitchell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a0c/a0cd73197946913e0367cd9a47650b02_md.jpg","artistName":"Lisa Loeb \u0026 Elizabeth Mitchell","artistId":86558,"station_id":270025587},{"musicPath":"/music/Tom+Chapin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/660/660fbcedd39714ded8a9caa552a52f21_md.jpg","artistName":"Tom Chapin","artistId":86679,"station_id":270025655},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Terrible+Twos","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/790/79012a204a8d78e0cae9d92a316ccfa4_md.jpg","artistName":"The Terrible Twos","artistId":86676,"station_id":270025652},{"musicPath":"/music/Trout+Fishing+in+America","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fd2/fd207dc35219b28769a835ae3e86c25d_md.jpg","artistName":"Trout Fishing in America","artistId":86680,"station_id":270025656},{"musicPath":"/music/Renee+Jeremy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/94e/94e3d0a2f85392fbe01d65941a24dcd1_md.jpg","artistName":"Renee \u0026 Jeremy","artistId":86650,"station_id":270025610},{"musicPath":"/music/Baby+Genius","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0df/0df9b27016b08ff1984682db7a9f1c0b_md.jpg","artistName":"Baby Genius","artistId":86381,"station_id":269935528},{"musicPath":"/music/Imagination+Movers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b3d/b3d57bd97689a56ea13204881ad1eb04_md.jpg","artistName":"Imagination Movers","artistId":86520,"station_id":269935585},{"musicPath":"/music/Elmo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4d3/4d36ba40345fdb8e692c52e853077b07_md.jpg","artistName":"Elmo","artistId":456059,"station_id":401254312},{"musicPath":"/music/Laurie+Berkner","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e96/e969aa3608f53dff1074a3756c8420ef_md.jpg","artistName":"Laurie Berkner","artistId":12580,"station_id":113932958},{"musicPath":"/music/Sharon+Lois+Bram","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3c8/3c8c3cb5df3743f7f2d63569696ba187_md.jpg","artistName":"Sharon, Lois \u0026 Bram","artistId":86658,"station_id":270025615},{"musicPath":"/music/Milkshake","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a14/a14d402e09ef61eb3830764ab1ab10cd_md.jpg","artistName":"Milkshake","artistId":86567,"station_id":270025595},{"musicPath":"/music/Ralph+Covert","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2a4/2a406ed6b01e4558ebf949e68cb4ae78_md.jpg","artistName":"Ralph Covert","artistId":86648,"station_id":270025609}]}
