He gets emotional. But also he tries very hard to help people, and do things right, to the extent that he doesn't use contractions in his words.

If there's apostrophes in the script I get, I make the separation, because he doesn't say 'can't'. He says 'can not' Grover came about organically. I worked on Cookie Monster , I worked on Bert. Grover just kind of happened. I guess that's why I like him. Although Grover typically speaks without using contractions, there are some exceptions, such as in certain song lyrics " Accidents Happen " from the Elmo's Potty Time home video and on Twitter.

Oz has also stated that certain aspects of Grover were inspired by his dog, Fred. One such trait is tilting his head to the side at certain times. Grover has left his mark in Sesame Street history as an enduring character by way of his multi-faceted talents, and his self-professed "cute and lovable personality".

His sweeter and sillier sides can often be seen in any number of improvised moments with kids. Grover has also proven to be one of the most persistent characters over the years. No other resident of Sesame Street can lay claim to being or at least trying to be more helpful than Grover -- a feat he has achieved not only as an everyday character, but via a series of alternate personae.

Clearly, his most heroic persona is none other than his superhero alter-ego, Super Grover. But even a superhero has his limits, and Grover has taken on more positions of employment than most people would dare to in their lifetime.

His various jobs were highlighted in A Celebration of Me, Grover! In Families Stand Together , Grover forgets about all his various jobs. After being reminded of them by Chris , he realizes that he should be exhausted. Muppet Wiki Explore.
