Jerry was one of the most talented entertainers ever. He will be missed so much. Greatest singer of the muppeteers. He was amazing

Yea God was saying to himself "when will i ever get my own Muppet Show to watch?" He's told everyone whos up there everytime they arrived "Finally! I get to watch the Muppet Show/Sesame Street without being a creepy old guy staring through a window." Thanks for all the memories Jerry, Richard, Juhl, Jim and Jane!!

Jerry Nelson impacted me right from the start when I was less than four years old when he performed my favorite character on Sesame Street, The Count. Later on I loved watching him as the hip Sgt. Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand and Crazy Harry and many others on The Muppet Show and the muppet films from the original TMM and even when he was ill in TM'11 as the announcer. After hearing about his death two years ago, it was quite sad, and he is still missed. RIP . Now here is my all time favorite Sgt. Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand moments.

My favorite Lew Zealand moment is in the TMS episode of his first appearance at the end of "The Wedding Sketch".

I watched MMW again(!!!) last night and heard Jerry's voiceover which was an absolutely lovely gesture on Disney's part.

Whilst I still mourn, and argue that no-one will ever match the original talents that created our beloved characters, we are very lucky to have a bunch of guys carry on the legacy of them with the love and passion they share with the fans.

Rest in peace Jerry Nelson, you will not be forgotten.

I still miss Jerry Nelson after two years.
He will be missed by all of us.

On another note, please check out my YouTube channel (classicssmfan) for a few goodies that I'll be honoring Jerry Nelson with.

I just wanted to show credits or something like that. The show certainly doesn't do that.
