    Who's Little Lenny?

    There's no such character as "Little Lenny". It was an ad-lib Marty threw in during a take, as the camera panned over the extra's face. It cracked everyone up so much that they left it in the show. And everybody called the extra Little Lenny for the rest of the day. secret squirrel

    Lefty the Salesman

    Beaker. "Aw yes, good ol Lefty...teaching kids all about the fun of seeling illegal contraband like vowels and other banned merchandise." You may have been joking, but you've hit the nail on the head. Lefty was phased out - rightly, I think - because the image of a suspicious stranger selling...

    Sesame Street censorship

    I think it's important to clarify that Sesame Workshop adapting old material to changing standards is not "censorship". The Workshop has free range to create material within its own curriculum, and the curriculum is constantly changing to meet the needs of viewers. Don Music might perhaps be...

    "Little Shop" returning to Broadway after all!

    Tony. Marty, Anthony Asbury, Bill Remington and Matt Vogel are returning as the plant performers for the new season. You may be interested to know that Kerry Butler is married to Muppet performer and writer Joey Mazzarino. secret squirrel

    So whats up with Blue House, Animal Jam, that Australian Muppet Show, and Hoobs?

    Animal Jam, although panned by most Muppet fans, was well-received by critics and audiences. Producers are currently waiting on a second series order. Bear in the Big Blue House, like Book of Pooh, will not be renewed. A Bear feature script, apparently a prequel, has been around for years...

    Miss Noodle?

    Muehl or Meehl

    Brian Muehl changed his name to Brian Meehl, which is how it was always pronounced. I believe he did it to avoid conversations like this! So Muehl was correct, but now Meehl is correct. Nuel is way off. secret squirrel

    Muppet Workshop in NY

    Actually, it was scaled back and relocated. A lot of people were laid off, but the Workshop stayed in operation to build, among other things, Audrey II for the Broadway debut of Little Shop of Horrors. secret squirrel

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street on Oprah

    Matt played Big Bird for this appearance. Eric played Grover and David performed Cookie Monster. Daffyfan. In the second series of JTE, Matt's Big Bird is much closer to Caroll's. And you'll find in Matt's Street appearances, he's even closer again, especially with the Bird's singing voice...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 34

    Billy/Travelling Matt. "There was a picture of the Sesame set in Newsweek last November. Was Matt Vogel the one doing the right hand of Baby Bear in that pic? He looks like the same one who was playing the drums during the song Ernie and Telly were singing on the A&E SS Biography." That's Mr...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 34

    Jennifer/Count. Baby Bear is performed and voiced by David Rudman. Matt Vogel usually right-hands for David. Beauregard. The Henson deal is great news. The mood within the company is extremely optimistic. (And thanks for the thought, but I don't think we need that thread.) secret squirrel

    Scooter: who's who

    Adam's voice was a close approximation, but he's not a puppeteer and hence isn't in the running. Matt Vogel also did Scooter and Janice for a Playstation game a few years ago, but he wasn't able to audition for the Christmas movie. (He was shooting Sesame while the movie taped in Vancouver.)...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 34

    Count. Oinker Sisters/Androoze Sisters. Perhaps an entry for Oinker Sisters that says "see also the Androoze Sisters" or "also known as the Androoze Sisters." And the same for the Androoze entry: "See also the Oinker Sisters." Mahna Mahna. I'd suggest the same arrangement. "Mahna Mahna...

    Count. If I were you I'd list the Oinker Sisters under both names, but both pointing to the same description. And sure, go ahead and put the Britney Spears Anything Muppet in your list. It can't hurt to include as many as you have information on. Hope this helps. secret squirrel

    Count. The Britney Spears AM was a one-off. You might see her in the background again, but she's not going to be a character. secret squirrel
