Anyone else pull their hair out when they hear people refer to the puppeteers as "the voice of?" We ALL know they do a lot more than just do a voice. Kinda sounds almost demeaning, if you ask me. Not that there aren't cases where someone just does the voice, but for the most part Puppeteering is more than just that.

Probably cause they think it's like "animation" where you just stand behind a mic and it's just your voice. Not that there isn't work that goes into animation but I think puppeteering is obviously more involved. It's just people who don't understand the art form of it I guess. I always say "they are performed by whoever."

Saying that Jim was forced by the network to include a laugh track on TMS when he didn't want to.
