Pepe the Prawn is one of the Muppets. He was first introduced in the 1996 show Muppets Tonight. At the time, he would sing along with his partner, Seymour the Elephant, although neither of the two had any real musical talent.
Pepe ditched his partner (Seymour has not been seen since Muppets Tonight went off the air) and began a "solo act" starring in the movie Muppets from Space, and continuing today. He is often used in Rizzo the Rat's old position of light comedic relief and the butt of jokes or victim of accidents.
Pepe is very proud of being a king prawn, and takes great offense if anyone refers to him as "shrimp." He speaks with a heavy Spanish accent, often punctuating his sentences with "Okay?" He is also something of a humorous lothario, and frequently spews sexual innuendo.
He is an occasional correspondent on movies.go.com's Statler & Waldorf From the Balcony, interviewing actors on the red carpet of Flightplan. Pepe also hosts documentary-styled featurettes (titled Pepe's Profiles) on the recent DVDs of the movies (put out by The Walt Disney Company), despite the fact that he isn't in any of the films featured on the DVDs.
He was also a former "spokesprawn" for Long John Silver's in 2002.
He stars as Toto is the Muppet's Wizard of Oz.
