During the early 1970's to 1984, the Sesame Street cast just used an extra red puppet without really any personality. It wasn't until 1985 when Kevin Clash made Elmo and gave Elmo energy and personality.

The puppet that eventually became Elmo was around since the early 1970's however, he made his debut officially named Elmo in November 1985.

Elmo first appeared on Sesame street in 1979 but didn't become a main character until 1984 when Kevin Clash became his muppeteer.
