I'm going to assume the combination of Barkley being operated more like a full body puppet and especially the long fur is the main thing for why he won't come back

Does Oscarfan work for Sesame Workshop as a secret agent or something, relaying info to Muppet Wiki/Central?

 

[D'Snowth]

I think he interned for them for a while, but otherwise, yeah, he's got some connections.

 

[Oscarfan]

No, I never interned there, nor do I currently work there. I just talk to people who know stuff going on on all facets of Muppet-related-things.

I thought you interned for them for a while; didn't you say they figured out you were MarshalGrover, or was that something else?

They found that out through the Ice Bucket video; they thought my channel was someone on the inside apparently. I met with some folks for a day, got some free swag and that was pretty much the extent of it.

I noticed for this special that Hoots the Owl is back!!! I wonder who is performing him now.

Are we sure the date for this is November 10? Because I looked on HBO's website, and it does not list the special as airing on that date. I thought it was going to air on both HBO and PBS.
