This was a lot of fun! My favorite parts were Rizzo singing Blinding Lights and the whole gang singing Don't Stop Me Now.

Jarrod Fairclough: This is a conversation that some of us were having recently. I love seeing arm rods. I love seeing the sub sleeves. Whatever it might be. Um, and you know, that's something that gets removed a lot of the time in Muppet productions now. Your thoughts? Matt Vogel: Well, I think...

Mathew Gaydos: I feel like the elephant in the room is that not everyone in the world of Muppets is extremely excited about the new Muppet Show. Some people have gone on to proclaim very publicly that they will not be enjoying it and they are no longer a fan of the Muppets. And some of those...

I know Steve had no intent on insulting any of his former co-performers, but there are people out there who are gonna interpret it that way. Tyler Bunch sadly is one of those people, as I saw on Facebook. So is someone who interviewed Steve as you can see here:

Jarrod Fairclough: My expectations of the new Muppet Show lie only in that I know what this team is capable of. And I know that the love and the dedication that Leigh Slaughter, and Dani Iglesias, and Frank Reifsnyder, and I should say Ryan Dosier as well, that they have for these characters and...

JD Hansel: What I'll say is whatever Matt is doing is definitely working at in-person events as I've experienced myself and I've seen other people have this experience. If you can get people in a room with him, then the puppetry matters a lot more. Like when you're watching a good puppeteer do...

Mathew Soberman: As much as I don't want to keep relitigating Matt Vogel's Kermit, I think the disadvantage Matt has had is whereas with Steve, Kermit was still a very active character in the years following Jim's passing. Matt really hasn't gotten that chance to showcase himself. Jarrod...

I'll be putting more quotes from this podcast in the quote thread, so I hope you'll tune into there. JD Hansel: You have been tired of people not liking the Matt Vogel voice pretty much the whole time. Jarrod Fairclough: I don't care if they don't like it. Stop complaining about it. There's...

This was unexpected! Congrats to Bradley. I met him at the Center for Puppetry Arts a couple years ago, he's a really cool and nice guy. Plus he plays my favorite of the humanoid Muppets introduced to Sesame in the 2020s, Tamir. It's nice that they didn't pick one of the core 6 Muppet performers.

JD Hansel: I think the potential of it is the most exciting thing. Naturally, that's how it goes. But not just the potential of more Muppet Show stuff and more good Muppet stuff and more of the Muppets in their element, more of these characters in the environment that they're from where they...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm thrilled!
