Today is Kermit's :smile: 65th birthday. 65 years ago today Jim Henson :jim: took his mom's green coat and a split ping pong ball and a star was born.

Not to be a party pooper, but it's his 64th.

Also he was built in MARCH of '55.

Per wikipedia, Kermit first appeared on May 9, 1955, in the premiere of WRC-TV's Sam and Friends.

It's all in the sources...

Muppet wiki guotes Jim Henson's Red book which quotes The Sunday Star on Kermit's creation in March, 1955.

Wikipedia links NY Daily News article where the date May 9, 1955 comes from, i think.

I guess that gives Kermit several birthdays to celebrate -- Creation in March, First public appearance in May.... not to mention September 24 :smile:
