I'm curious as to when this one was filmed, because I feel like the interview we saw the other day was a bit better than this video. The voice seems so monotone in this.

Also, I've noticed Matt has given Kermit a new quirk. Matt's Kermit is always doing a quick "look down, look up" when someone is talking. I saw it both in this video and the Hollywood Bowl interview. Cute!

New Muppet Thought of the Week!

They're really pushing Matt as Kermit now either to get him more practice or to get us used to him. Not saying that either is a bad thing, I'm just glad to see more Kermit.
Keep up the excellent and consistent good work, Matt! Great job!

I'm still not hearing Jim's Kermit in Matt's performance. I also still think he needs a little more work. I'm still getting used to it, folks. Change is something I don't do well with.

Hey, take it easy. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and obviously, it will take some people longer to get used to Matt's Kermit than others. Don't take fair criticism as a personal attack.
Sorry, I'm not taking that as an attack. Guess, I shouldn't of said that.
