The first of our four part series of interviews with the one and only... JERRY NELSON!

http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2010/11/interview-with-legendary-muppeteer.html

Very good interview (so far). I noticed one question that seemed like it was worded wrong: "What was it like going from working on Saturday Night Live to almost turning full-circle and working on Sesame Street?" Shouldn't the question have been "What was it like going from working on Sesame Street to almost turning full-circle and working on Saturday Night Live?" Since Sesame Street came first.

And this answers something I had wondered about: Jerry Nelson performing both Robin and Sweetums in The Frog Prince, while not providing Sweetums' voice. Still weird that they had a character voiced by a puppeteer but performed by a different puppeteer.
