I realize this article has been up a long while, but this really bothers me. Could a moderator please edit "MuppetNewsHound's" original post so it doesn't violate Jim Hill's copyright? You can't just copy/paste an entire article verbatim from anywhere on the web. It's more than just illegal --...

Especially since Mr. Data didn't appear in Star Wars. ;) Sam The Eagle is my favorite Muppet character, and it's good to see him appearing on movies.com even if the actor voicing him doesn't quite nail the voice and has Sam using contractions.

"Muppety moment," indeed. Reusing old jokes is more like it. And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Sam never used contractions when Frank Oz voiced him. No, it's not your headphones -- their voices really are that bad. In fact, it's the worst I've ever heard Statler and Waldorf...

According to the Aspen Comedy website, they're doing two shows. I'd give my good puppeteering arm to be at this event (as long as I could get it back afterwards). Victor Yerrid displayed a solid knack for improv when he was at the San Diego Comic-Con with the crew promoting "Kermit's Swamp...

Not possible. It's not the same kind of "live" event. The kind Disney is apparently planning involves audience interaction.

The Center For Puppetry Arts is looking for a permanent part-time House Manager. See the link below for details: http://www.atlantaperforms.com/hotline/jobs.asp Unfortunately, the pay's really crappy: they're only offering $7 an hour. Doesn't involve a lot of hours, but I still don't know...

Unfortunately, my Sesame Street audition has been postponed, and my agent doesn't know yet when it will be rescheduled. I'll keep you guys posted. In the last week, I've had auditions for a couple video games, a "back-up soundalike" for a rather popular animated Disney character, and my agent...

Well, then I was wrong to have read into what I felt was the *tone* of your post. But when you direct a statement at someone like this: "It bothers me that passing yourself off as Kermit could count as positive prior experience for this job" -- anyone else reading that tell me that doesn't sound...

I got two different copies of MT&R's newsletter with the following details on this event -- the latter appears to be updated w/ schedule info: Family Event Fifty Years of Fabulous: Celebrating The Jim Henson Company's 50th Anniversary Saturday, September 24, 2005 12:00 to 4:00 p.m...

Oh, please. That's just rediculous. I didn't make any money from any of the events where I've performed Kermit. In fact, I usually don't even use a Kermit puppet. I wear a ping-pong ball cut in half as Kermit eyes. It's a comedy bit I've used many times that always goes over great with...

Since there is no possible way I can attend any of the 3 auditions, I called to inquire if they were considering auditioning in other major cities like Atlanta (where I live currently). No one was available so I left a message. Took a day but "Todd" called me back to tell me that...

I usually just browse the forums here, but I got a phone call yesterday from my agent that has me so excited I must break my silence and share this. My agent got me an audition next Tuesday for a new Sesame Street character. (No, I'm not referring to the upcoming Muppet Holding Auditions.)...

Then maybe they should stop airing that live-action "Power Rangers: SPD" crap. It's nothing like a cartoon, and yet they air it on TD.

I did do a search, actually. But none of the threads mentioned whether or not the puppets would work for an adult-sized hand, and that's what I really needed to know. I have smallish hands also, for a guy anyway (my fiance and I nearly have the same ring size), but the Kermit puppets I tried out...

21 views and no replies? Wow, did I say something to tick everyone off, or is it even more difficult than I thought to find a adult-sized Kermit hand puppet?

I need a Kermit hand puppet for a June event -- I've done several live performances imitating Kermit, and for comedic effect I wear a Kermit-colored polo shirt and custom Kermit eyes made from a two halves of a ping-pong ball. But for this particular event, I only want the puppet to be seen...

I was reading comics/animation writer Mark Evanier's blog (newsfromme.com) and he says while he was attending an event at The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honoring animation legends Joe Barbera and the late William Hanna with a wall sculpture, he discovered the following: Although Mark...

It's not in a print issue -- note that I had "(online)" for the link in my first post. But I should have been more specific -- it's not so much a "preview" as it is a review/spotlight of the playset that Toyfare has on their site.

I've never posted news here before -- I usually send e-mails to Phillip and let him get the word out, but I lurk here on the forums all the time so I may as well contribute: Toyfare Magazine (online) has a preview and photo of Palisades' Muppet Show Backstage playset.

> Please forgive me. No biggie. It's understandable. I'm sure you get lots of mail. > So HOW did you get that large scooter on the plane? It's a pretty compact thing - the handlebar folds down. But the motor makes it really heavy to try carrying it. I tried checking it in as another...
