Your Thoughts: Muppet Whatnot Workshop on The Today Show

[Erine81981]

OH MY GOSH! This was one of the best appearances by the Muppet by far. I really enjoyed everything. I really enjoyed the Behind the Scenes with the Crew, Mean Carl and the rats. Loved seeing that Rizzo wasn't there but it made me feel like this is how the Muppet Show was almost like as even Muppet Tonight as well. Who was the one character in the Studio. I know i've seen him before or her but what's his or her name?

Man! I can't believe I got up early for this! Too bad I don't have TIVO!

Are you referring to the director? That was the Mr. Easy Peasy puppet from Mopatop Shop. Or the other creature? That was Big Mean Carl from Muppets Tonight.

That was good. At first I thought it would be a disappointment and we'd just see the Muppet likenesses of Al, Michelle & Matt rather than the familiar Muppets that we all know and love, but I should have known that the Muppets wouldn't let us down. Plus this gives me an idea for a new signature quote.

watched some of the clips on MSNBC...very funny from what I saw. Did anybody catch the cameos by Bill Baretta and Craig Shemin?

--Matt

I did!

I really enjoyed their appearance! I also noticed that Big Mean Carl was not preformed by Bill Barretta, I wonder who it was?

I taped it while I was at school and let me tell you that it was really good. It was so good that it was a lot better than I anticipated. It seems that Disney really is giving the Muppets a chance to shine again for a new generation of people. I give this appearance three Kermits.

I give it, from the parts I've seen, 5 Kermits.. (+2)

I knew about Carl but had only seen pictures of Mr. Easy Peasy character. Thanks for the info Zanumum.
