I found this:
.
I still can't believe how good Jen's Zoe is. D'Snowth, you said Zoe's laugh would not be easy to capture. I guess she proved you wrong.
I suppose the laugh and the mannerisms are good, but it still bothers me that she sounds like someone's mom instead of a little kid.

Look at what they filmed last week:



Give her time. She'll improve. Besides, in these two clips she sounds almost exactly like Fran.
Judging by that video and also the mannequin challenge one and a couple of set pictures, it looks like Grundgetta's going to be making a comeback!

And speaking of comebacks. It looks like Peter Linz has performed Herry on at least three different occasions. So, at this point, we can cautiously speculate that Peter is indeed Herry's official new performer:

Is that a trap door in the side of the stoop to hide puppeteers?

Funnily enough, I can't help but think about what Drtooth has said many times before about in a real world situation, the building housing Hooper's and the laundromat would have been long gone years ago and replaced with luxury condos.
And there would be only people and real animals instead of 8 foot birds, monsters, and blue and green people.

Someone on Facebook took pictures of Tyler Bunch and Herry and put them side by side to show how similar they look and Tyler said Peter is officially Herry's performer now. Of course, we can't add that information to Muppet Wiki until we see enough of his Herry.

That's great to hear. But that does bring up a question: Why are they suddenly deciding to use Herry again after all these years?

Maybe it's kind of similar to how Dr. Teeth and Rowlf were sort of semi-retired following Jim's death, but have recently rose back to prominence among the Classic Muppets. Maybe Herry was put into semi-retirement as Jerry's health was declining, but that he's got a new regular performer, that may be why they're bringing him back.

I guess it would make sense if that were the case as several of Jerry's long running characters disappeared around the same time like Frazzle, Biff, Mumford and Herry.
