Theodore "Ted" Shackleford (known to the public as The Man with the Yellow Hat) is the deuteragonist of the Curious George franchise. He is first voiced by Will Ferrell in the 2006 animated film and then later Jeff Bennett in the TV series and sequels. In Curious George (2006), Ted gets his trademark yellow suit when he's tricked by the shop owners into purchasing it (claiming yellow's "the new khaki"). He then meets George, a playful but curious monkey who changes his life forever.

History[]

Personality[]

Ted is shown to be very loving. He likes his monkey George, though at times, he could get George in trouble. He frequently asks George to "Be a good little monkey" (usually when they go separate ways). In Curious George 3: Back to the Jungle, he is shown to be stern, bossy, and non-adventurous. He got really mad at George, but soon learns his lesson and apologizes.
