"I shall now eat a rubber tire to the music of 'The Flight of the Bumblebee'...music, maestro!"
- Gonzo, The Muppet Show

Since his first appearance in 1970, Gonzo has been a Muppet known for his risky daredevil stunts and strange theatrical arts.

Gonzo personality involves low self-esteem, but also for a zest for life. He enjoys whatever he is doing, no matter how dangerous.

It is also noted that he is unlike any recognizable animal, and his large nose is often called a beak. In various stories, he is compared to a bird, an alien, or a Frackle - a type of Muppet monster. Gonzo's girlfriend is Camilla the chicken.

Gonzo has appeared in every Muppets movie, on the television show, and in cartoons, books, toys, and more.

From where did Gonzo get his name? The term gonzo is an Americanism first used in the 1970s phrase "gonzo journalism." It has come to mean bizarre, subjective, crazy, or eccentric - all of which aptly describe the Muppet by the same name.
