I know, but he has been trained to perform most of Jerry Nelson's characters and did perform the puppet in Jerry's last years (The Count is the only one of his Sesame Street characters Matt has provided the voice of). David Rudman did perform Mr. Johnson in EIG. I feel he sounded too much...

Suddenly I've been thinking, Disney has more-or-less officially considered May 9 to be Kermit's birthday, and many of the Sesame Street Muppets have official birth dates, but I wonder if any of the other Muppets have official birth dates. Are there official birthdays for Miss Piggy, Fozzie...

Although I haven't seen this episode, I feel like it would be a great street story to include if they ever come out with another Grover spotlight video. "Grover Does It All" could even be the theme of the video, with the street story either at the beginning or end, or perhaps with it cut up into...

I've seen something like a Fraggle Hole at work before. I often joked that it is one.

Today, Caroll Spinney answered fan question on Reddit's "Ask me Anything". Here is the top ten topics I wish I had thought to ask about: 10. Did Bruno have a full head of hair, or was he bald underneath his cap? 9. Anything about Shivers the Penguin. 8. Wish I'd asked about one of the specials...

Well, it was great. I was wondering how big a number of people participating would be, since I hadn't seen much announcements at the right places (I heard about this via the Tough Pigs forum, and posted about it here, and neither thread had many replies). It was good to see a lot of people...

And it's happening right now: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/356sal/hi_reddit_im_caroll_spinney_the_puppeteer_who_has/

Here's an episode that I haven't seen since 1994: Wow, that Genie is performed by Brian Meehl. I was thinking it was Marty Robinson.

Well, it starts in a little over an hour. Hopefully I'll know what to do and be able to send my question. There's been a few times I participated in similar chats but wasn't able to get my questions sent (or at least not seen by the important ones). I'm guessing I'll only be able to ask one...

What "Matching Game" drawing? Though now I'm remembering that, when I was a young kid, I thought Bert and Guy Smiley looked too similar (their only real similarity being their skin and hair colors) and for some reason at the time thought that characters who looked too similar shouldn't appear...

So they said that there's plans this year for one character who wasn;t made into a figure by Palisades, and that it was an important character, yet they seemed to state that it won't be Walter, and I think I saw something that said that only characters from The Muppet Show are planned for this...

I was looking at the Peanuts animation website, which lists what's included in the upcoming "Emmy specials" collection, as well as whether something was nominated or won, and only one of the included specials actually won. I mentioned that this seems like an honorary "1980s collection", as...

I think the second volume of Elmo the Musical recently got a wide release. I saw a trailer for it on YouTube recently (meant to bring it up then but forgot), and today I saw that The Muppet Mindset has a review of the video (which doesn't necessarily mean it was just recently given a wide release).

Aside from the fact that they are now performed by the same person, why wouldn't anybody expect to see them together? I don't think it'd be a stretch for Bert to appear on a game show, especially if the prize is something he likes (like bottle caps or paper clips). If anything Guy could put Bert...

I read on the Tough Pigs forum that Caroll Spinney will be participating in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on May 7, 2015. Looking at the Reddit site, it'll start at 12PM (I assume Eastern time). So if you're a member, you can ask Spinney anything, and if you're not but want to ask him...

Does anybody know what the first film or TV program (or maybe even radio program) to have something cut from later releases/broadcasts was to have said cut scenes restored later on?

Wow, I didn't know Marcia Wallace was in that special. I'm sure it won't be the current edited-for-television version. Most video releases of the specials are uncut, with some exceptions (Coca-Cola plugs in A Charlie Brown Christmas, some of Peppermint Patty's original lines in It's Your...

I was expecting all of these to appear on the Muppets Studio YouTube channel, but it looks like they'll all debut on different channels (I wonder if they'll eventually go to the Muppets channel). Kind of reminds me of when Weird Al's music videos from last year all debuted on different websites...

So I was reading that a Donkey Kong Country game was in development for the Nintendo Game Cube, but the game was never completed due to Rare, the company that made the previous Donkey Kong games, was bought by Microsoft, and after that it was a number of years before another game in the series...

I was watching the song clip "We'll Watch Out for You" with Gordon, Maria, and Bob, and when they all sing together, it sounds like Maria's voice is at a higher pitch. Her voice sounds like her normal voice when she sings on her own, and the other voices sound normal when all three sing...
