Bob the Tomato is the host of the VeggieTales show. He hosts the show along with Larry the Cucumber. They tell Biblical stories together on a stage-like kitchen counter, along with a computer, Qwerty, who gives them a quote said by one of Jesus's disciples at the end of an episode. Bob sometimes is a little annoyed about Larry when he's goofing off, but soon later ignores it.
He is also annoyed by a song Qwerty plays, What we have learned," but on the other hand, Larry likes it. Bob is a rare character in the episodes because he is almost the only tomato. He appears much less than Larry, probably because he is only the co-host but is most shows he is the second main character. Usually Bob is always trying to set Larry in the right direction, but he doesn't listen until the end. Bob has rarely been seen in Silly Songs, due to the fact he is serious and mature, unlike Larry. He only made about one appearance in "Ukulele Karaoke."
Appearance
Bob the Tomato is a red tomato. He is short and has small green leaves growing out of his head. He also grows a stem. In his acting he usually only wears a hat, grows facial hair, and sometimes have a small shirt on. He is often confused to have a fever because of his red skin.

First Bob design | 1992-1998 | From VeggieTales Promo: Take 38 to The End of Silliness? | Sometime after Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!, the shine effect on Bob disappeared afterwards. His voice is slightly lower until 1998. when both his voice and Larry's were up to date
Tim Hodge often jokes that he calls him "Strawberry Bob". | |
Second Bob design | 2000-2014 | From King George and the Ducky to Beauty and the Beet | Bob gained a slightly bigger nose, and his body is slightly less wide. He doesn't extend his body, due to the switch of software at the time. Also, his voice is slightly higher.
Originally, his eyes were smaller, but later were enlarged after the Jonah film. | |
Third Bob design | 2014 | From VeggieTales in the House to present | Like most of the cast, his eyes are slightly apart and gained blue iris. He also gained some eyebrows, just like his cartoon counterpart.
He also gained permanent visible teeth, which his previous two models only used a pair of teeth in some shots. |
