Peter Linz on The Mario Show.

Note that like Matt and, i think, every muppeteer, Peter dreams of bringing back The Muppet Show [4:01-4:05] =)

JHC people talking:

The Nerd Lys interview the special guest Mick Morgana Ignis.
She is one of the main puppeteers of Ned in the Henson production 'Earth to Ned' on Disney Plus.

Unimpressed as i am with 'Earth to Ned' per se, it does not reduce in any way the tremendous work of many talented people that went to the series production. The insights into the nature of puppeteering, advances in puppet technology, state of industry in 2020, Fraggle Rock On and JHC stories she shares here are simply brilliant!

In the first one, Kevin shares a hilarious story of a blooper when filming Elmo and Telly's Heavy and Light song. In the second one, Bill and Tyler share a hilarious exchange of Louie not understanding Ricardo.

It looks like Frank expanded on Animal a bit... it used to be "sex, sleep, food, drums and pain" but now it's "drums, sex and eats glass" lol.
