In that case, #70 will go to someone else. Lately, I’ve been thinking they might introduce a brand new character. Not sure if that’s the case, though.

With Newsie in the mix, we now have all Jim Henson Muppets (not counting the likeness of Jim himself, of course). He’s had four performers so far, the other three being Brian Henson, Steve Whitmire, and Eric Jacobson. I’ve yet to hear how the latter performs him - it’s the second time he took...

I thought so! I did bring her up on this thread, like, four times before today. This makes her the third Julianne Buescher character to be showcased, the other two being Yolanda and La Cabra/the Screaming Goat. Can’t wait to see the fan art coming up on Instagram.

I forgot to mention that Yolanda and Bubba debuted in The Muppets Take Manhattan and Muppets From Space, respectively. Neither of the movies are under Disney’s ownership, but the rats would appear in later Muppet productions.

I have a feeling they’ll only showcase Muppets who have been featured in productions that are accessible on Disney+ and under Disney’s corporate umbrella (The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, MuppetVision 3D, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, The Muppets...

A mix of observation and intuition, really. Plus, we got a glimpse of Newsie somewhere on the 70 Years page on Muppet Wiki.

If I’m not mistaken, all Dave Goelz Muppets have been announced. Also, my prediction for #68 will go to some other Muppet. I know Beverly Plume, the Newsman, and Miss Piggy are 3 of the remaining 5. Time will tell who the other 2 will be.

If they can find roles for Uncle Deadly, Chip, and whomever was absent/uncommon prior to the 2010s, I’m sure they’ll think of something.

If that’s a poem of some sort, well done. Baskerville’s another character I wasn’t expecting - three weeks in a row. And also three dogs to be featured in the campaign. Maybe he’ll also be rebuilt for the reboot and Matt Vogel can tweak his Big Bird voice to perform him.

I have noticed an implication on The Muppets’ Instagram just now: George has been rebuilt for the Muppet Show reboot. Last week, Gaffer got the same treatment. If that’s any indication, they might reintroduce long retired Muppets. I wonder if Eric Jacobson could take on the role of the crotchety...

I can think of a couple of reasons they went with the 6th Frank Oz Muppet (the others being Animal, Sam, Fozzie, the Snowths, and Marvin). This Muppet week is only 1/7 October and 6/7 November. They already showcased a spooky Muppet (Uncle Deadly). Users might try to look up part of Dr. Phil...

You know how they showcased the Ghost of Christmas Present in the first full week of December last year? I’ve been thinking they could showcase Gonzo for the 68th week (starting December 5th), considering he played the famous author of that famous Christmas story of redemption.

Gaffer was one of your guesses for Week #43 (June 13th), but that was taken by Scooter. I honestly wasn’t expecting the eye-patched pussycat to be featured, yet here we are 19 weeks later. I suppose at least one of my predictions has been ruled out, and it’s not Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Newsie, or...

I guess that’s all the ‘Bilba-retta’ Muppets they have to showcase. Definitely looking forward to the Instagram users’ portrayal of BMC, even Dave Alvarez’s - I have to wait for his Muppet uploads, or Muploads, to appear on Mondays now.

Appropriately enough, October 10th happens to be National Trumpet Day! If we take into account what the remaining days are, we can figure out who will be featured next. I still have a feeling they plan on saving Miss Piggy for last.
