...want to ask how you joined the show and how you came up with what you do with Elmo. The character existed before you joined? They had a bunch of monsters and they thought, Wouldn't it be nice to make a red one? So they did. David Korr, who was a writer at the time, really took a liking to the character, and started writing him into the scripts. And of course, then they had to find somebody to puppeteer him. Brian Muehl did it for a couple of shows, and then Richard Hunt. Richard hated it. Richard originated...
...what point did you realize that Elmo was going to turn into such a big deal? I came back in the next season, and the first bit I did the crew actually laughed.

Moon made it to the heads-up finale with a string of improbable TKOs, including one of highly touted pro Phil Ivey, who went out in seventh place, and then Begleiter. Those two knockouts came in rapid succession, and both times Moon held ace-queen, was behind at the start and then got just the card he needed. In Ivey's case, Moon faced an ace-king but won when he paired his queen. In Begleiter's case, Moon faced a pair of queens and won when he paired his ace. Says Little: "He was getting better-than-average distribution...
