Not the real shrimp Pepe was not on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Last night Jimmy took a clip from a recent interview Pepe did on the Weekend edition of Good Morning America (see it here) and dubbed over Bill Barretta's voice with fake (and raunchy) Pepe dialog. The clip of Jimmy's (in my opinion)...

The initial push of "marketing" that came in late-2005/early-2006 was really to produce more of an industry buzz and attract financing, investors, distributors, etc. They got their business deals and now the "behind the scenes" work takes over and the marking takes a back seat. We'll have to...

My thoughts and views... On the lack of Kermit... I checked on this issue and the lack of Kermit is not Henson's fault. It's Disney's! Back when Henson produced the giant Emmet Otter "Collector's Edition" DVD back in 2005 they tried and tried to get Kermit. Craig Shemin (who produced the set...

Nothing New Here. The "new" DVD coming out on November 4th is simply a re-issue of the "Collector's Edition" DVD from 2005 (just in a new box with the "Jim Henson's Christmas Classics" logo and under Lionsgate's distrubition). According to HIT, the disc features will be the same as the 2005...

This interview is from 2005 -- it was originally posted on the Optimal Breathing website in the early weeks of 2006. So it's about 3-years old now. Jerry did post a personal message here on Muppet Central back in August 2006 with an update as to how he was doing. I too wish Jerry the best...
