    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Wholeheartedly agree. Steve's Kermit simply lacked the punch of Jim's, because, quite frankly, Steve lacked the punch of Jim. The guy has never been in the same comedy league as the rest of the troupe.

    Wow. Rick Lyon does a pretty terrible Kermit.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Ironically, Rick Lyon is also rumored to have been fired from Sesame Street for being a bit of a loose canon and comes off similarly bitter. So there's that. Here is a question though? Why the blind support for Steve? Even with what we are reading, why not admit that we might know the guy...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Not necessarily. Literally, just that he was hired due to the contract issues with Steve for the live shows before he replaced him as the puppet performer. It just didn't work out from the looks of it.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Jim was his best friend. I can easily see him losing the spark for the characters without his comedy partner of 20+ years. Steve isn't necessarily the sharpest in terms of comedy, regularly telling jokes in interviews that are met with awkward silence. That must have been really hard for him...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    While Steve was still employed I believe Billy was already providing Ernie's voice for the Sesame Street Live shows because of money issues with Steve. I feel bad that he didn't last as the puppeteer, but I commend Sesame's willingness to recognize a lack of chemistry or something missing and...

    Muppet Most Wanted Plush

    Hey all, Wondering if anybody might have an extra Muppets Most Wanted Rowlf plush that they would get rid of for a reasonable price. I recently gave mine to a friend who was going through some life challenges, and was shocked to see how much they go for online. Given that the Disney Store was...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    How do you know they were "looking for trouble". They might just be looking for other young men to talk to about their confused sexuality. You are making a judgement on people in a situation that you know nothing about. It also bothers me because , again, it's no different than saying "Look...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Seriously? This is incredibly stupid. No, it's not the same as 3, but they are still minors. Once you say that the allegations are bad, your argument goes out the window. Do you realize that the "She said she was 18 line" is common amongst predators? It's really stomach churning to read it...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    I'm glad that someone has pointed this out. We don't know the truth. We just know that a hero did something that to us, is unthinkable. We can't let those feelings blind us to the fact that there may be some truth in it. Is it fishy, yes, but to throw your anger at possible victims is gross...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    Wonder what will happen with this now. We don't know how Elmocentric it was.
