I'm not surprised they arent making Segels script if it was leaked, if that is the case. There are loads of scenarios tho - this could be Segels script and not Jerry Juhls but they just thought to use Juhls title, or it could be a mixture of both scripts, or it could be Juhls and have nothing...

I don't know what the backstage gossip may be but i can't remember a single announced Kermit appearance in the last ten years where Kermit has no-showed.

Agree totally, definitely not a crime to be a beginner. Encourage it and wish i could do it. The point is maybe a beginner shouldn't be starting to learn their character on Americas Got Talent and the MTV Awards. I don't like pulling apart peoples performances, but i thought a few specific...

If that D23 was a looped track recorded in studio they could have altered and tuned the audio anyway, polished it up a lot. There were so many voices on it they would have needed to do it as a multi-layered studio thing. It did sound great, having them all together like that.

This is no offence to you, but surely Kermit is not meant to be hesitant to deliver a line, or constantly jerk about while he's not talking - and even completely miss at one point what his co-star (Gaga) is doing to him and look blindly ahead. I mean you may not see Steve as "Kermit" but you...

I know what you mean and it is great they are trying to move forward but if you look at the Youtubes people have noticed the Kermit switch. It's not even exactly the switch issue general public wise but that the performances are all completely unprepared - i mean Lady Gaga saved Kermit the Frog...

I'm getting a lot of squeaking and hissing over all songs playing on MC radio, i moved to a different station and it wasn't there. Is anyone else getting this?

Well on the positive side, sticking him next to Lady Gaga made him look like the less wooden performer of the two .. :o It is shocking how unprepared and unrehearsed they are doing things at the moment though and the puppetrys a bit rough. She doesn't seem to know what questions are coming...

We seem to have an abundance of new posters with inside knowledge of what went down at D23 ... strange. :confused: I agree the D23 performance was much better than any of the other recent Kermit performances, but that performance was looped not live - you can tell easily just looking at it...

Well Lylle Breier's email seems to imply its a business issue so it definitely doesn't sound like he's just away working on something else or ill. I guess she could have wrote business if its an availability problem but i think if it was that they would have just come out and said it and not...

The stuff Disney US is getting is the stuff that was already in the UK stores and has been for a year. It's a kind of "green" range based on the environment.

Henson closed the majority of the Muppet Workshop facilities, the people who were let go went and formed Puppet Heap. There isn't a major difference between companies, they are all mostly Henson taught. ;)

The Muppeteers are freelancers, so as far as i know, they can't get fired, just not used. From rumours here it sounds like a contract negotiations thing, but who knows. I don't think it is a case of Steve just having flu or something, having a different Kermit actually out there speaking live...

Disney may just not be commenting to the public, it may even be a standard policy not to. It doesn't mean they are avoiding it. I'm sure something will be said sooner rather than later. A few people saying they see potential in the new performer in time being a "great" Kermit ... i'd love...

I agree, but the same people built both puppets, lol. I think the changes have been more and more about the puppet makers skills improving than them wanting to make conscious changes to the Muppets. It is quite interesting though that the changes that have been made are more in line with the...

No offence to Artie, and its a great honour he has been chosen to do Kermit, but i really don't see any of Jims tone in the performances we have seen so far. Obviously some puppeteers, no matter how bad or good they are can "get" certain characters and others can't. When the Muppeteer...

Raising the publics awareness of this via the media is a great idea as has been suggested. I think that may be a great way of finding out whats going on.

Steve was last seen filming as Kermit in the Disneyland Muppet promo (this was also Rizzos last appearance to date), thats definitely him in the photos. Anything since then has been either Artie or possibly multiple puppeteers since Kermit appeared at D23 and MTV (which was Faux Kermit) both on...

Lady Gaga went out in a Kermit dress recently. The audience demo for MTV is about 16-30 so includes all the retro kids. The whole Gaga/Kermit thing was just about keeping the Muppets more and more visible in the tabloids. I thought it was ok, but as a stunt there was obviously going to be...

The performance would have been looped, and Steve was with them at the Disneyland promo not long ago so we know he was with the Muppet gang recently - and if the looping for D23 was done a while back then it would be Steve on the track. I don't know for sure but i think that would explain it...
