My Take

Kevin Clash is my kind of legend, the invisible kind. For 27 years he was the soul behind Elmo, and millions of children grew up loving a voice without ever knowing the man from Baltimore who gave it life. That quiet, anonymous artistry moves me more than most celebrity. Puppetry is a craft that hides the artist by design, yet his Emmy shelf proves how much skill it demands. I think the people who shape childhood memories from behind a curtain deserve far more recognition than they get, and Clash sits at the very top of that underappreciated profession.
