His first work on television was for a show entitled Caboose. In 1979, Clash became a puppeteer for Captain Kangaroo, a role he would perform until 1985. Clash joined the cast of The Great Space Coaster in 1981. In 1984, Clash began working full time for Sesame Street, and in that same year Clash created the popular Elmo character. He became a puppeteer for a variety of Jim Henson projects in the late 1980s, including The Jim Henson Hour, Muppet Time and Dog City. The following year, Clash portrayed the character Splinter in the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In 1990, Clash won the first of nine Daytime Emmy Awards for his work on Sesame Street.
