Cast Changes

[Daffyfan4ever]

Okay, I understand now. Actually, the one I saw was the one with Garth Brooks. Still I see what you mean. That's kind of surprising though, because Herry sounded nothing like I remember. Maybe he is due for a replacement. The Count sounded okay though.

The Count still sounds ok but I loved him back when in the 70's and 80's epsiodes just on how he used to sound. But I still love the Count and Herry for all its worth. Thanks Daffyfan for understanding hope I didn't come off as a butthole. I wasn't trying to be right I just knew. Thanks tho'

 

[Daffyfan4ever]

That's alright. I understand.

Just another comment here. (Sorry. If I'm being annoying) I did catch Herry on today's episode in the street segment and he sounded fine there. Maybe Jerry had a cold when he was perfroming Herry on the Garth Brooks segment or something like that. Food for thought.

the person who plays the elephant does he also ply seymore the elephant that is used on the muppets because seymore is *in song* the elephant elevator operator

I don't think so. Seymour was played by Brian Henson and I don't think he does much on "Sesame Street" these days. After all, Seymour seems to have vanished since Pepe stole the spotlight, but that's a different story.

Also, Rick Lyon (now in the cast of Avenue Q) performed Big Bird in the opening from 33 on.

Caroll still does perform Oscar, but from what I've heard, John is performing Oscar to the same extent that Matt Vogel is doing Big Bird.

Don't know if it's the Seymour mentioned in this discussion, but there is an elephant that always shows up in street scenes, doing ballet or what-not. Think it's the Joey and Davey Monkey voice that doesn't do Baby Bear.

I believe you would be refering to Joey Mazzarino, who does do the elephant. There are two reasons why I didn't list the elephant:
1. I forgot.
B. I was assuming they were supposed to be different characters, only used with the same puppet.

Brief question: Why exactly did Johnny T do Ernie in S2 of Play With Me Sesame?
