The Count on Dancing with the Stars

[maniacal muppet]

Last night, during a Jimmy Kimmel insert on DWTS on ABC, The Count was featured as the answer to the question "Where do the votes sent in by viewers get tallied?" Jimmy opened a door and there, at a desk, sat the Count crazily answering phones and writing down contestant scores. But there was a problem, he was counting the votes for Melaine Brown and Scary Spice as 2 different people, as to his astonishment, it's the same person.

It was a great bit and I hope to see it on Youtube soon All that night I felt tingily at the thought of a Muppet appearance.

I had just missed this. My mom watches it religiously and I found out after the fact. Was it Jerry Nelson performing him? I haven't caught too much of the recent Sesame seasons so I was wondering how frequently Jerry Nelson is involved these days...?

 

[The Count]

Well... Dunno about his appearance on Dancing with the Stars, missed it too myself, only found out about that this morning when the thread was started. But back on Sesame Street, yes, Jerry still voices/performs my namesake.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it was Jerry which is one of the reasons that I was so excited about this
