Kevin Clash: In terms of directing, let's talk about the legendary Jon Stone. (Panel claps) I remember he said "You're really directing yourselves. If you make me laugh, I'll keep the camera on you all the time." I remember doing a puppet named Wolfgang that he loved. It was this seal, (does barking), that's all it did, you know. So I'm doing this inhaling, (more barking), and I'm making him laugh in the control room and he's not cutting!
Joey Mazzarino: So you're hyperventilating!
Kevin: So I'm hyperventilating, (more barking). And finally I said, "Jon, will you cut, for crying out loud?"
