what was Gonzo on the Muppet Babies?

Question

I think he was a bird....me and my boyfriend are arguing about this.

this is funny...so he is either a bird or alien...ha ha...he is my favorite

Answer 1

A running gag related to Gonzo is that it is not clear what species he is supposed to be, though some say he resembles a buzzard. John Cleese, in his appearance on the show, referred to him as "the ugly, disgusting little blue creature who catches cannonballs." In the film The Great Muppet Caper, he is shipped to England in a crate labeled "Whatever" (while Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear are respectively labeled "Frog" and "Bear"). In Muppet Babies Gonzo (voice of Russi Taylor) was simply referred to as a "weirdo" or "blue weirdo." He has referred to himself as a "whatever," resigned to ignorance of his actual species. In Muppets from Space it is revealed that Gonzo is an alien. It is not clear whether this is to be considered a canonical statement of Gonzo's origins.

Answer 2

Gonzo, on the Muppet babies was an infant version of Adult Gonzo on the Muppet Show ;-P

Answer 3

That was the long running joke in the muppet tv show.
They would usually pause and say "whatever" when they were going to say what he was.
One episode of the muppet babies showed him to be an alien.
