Yes, Clifford was his first (and only) lasting Muppet character to date. Kevin joined Henson in 1985, Clifford appeared in 1988. Clifford has appeared in: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Muppets From Space, Muppets Tonight, The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson...

Since the tribute has passed, I would recommend passing any stuff through the Henson Company. If someone works to collect all the condolences, emails, pictures, stories, poems, and whatnot (from the e-mail Kevin set up) – and compiles them nicely, prints them out, puts together a little “fan...

And the two of them also performed Animal, Dr. Teeth, and Sam Eagle already.

If they did that then they really would never get a job with the Muppets. And Kermit would never be in the hands of Steve again. Doing something like that is very unprofessional and is not generally excepted in Hollywood (or the business world), it’s the kind of thing that will get you fired...

Kevin Clash, the Muppeteer behind Elmo (and others), just recently signed a major deal with Broadway Books to write an inspirational book for adults that is set for release in "fall 2006". The book, titled What Elmo Taught Me, will draw upon the Baltimore native’s unique experience as a parent...

The campaign is not against changing performers – that is inevitable and required for the Muppets to survive. People like Steve (Kermit) and Eric (Fozzie/Piggy) have been excellent at keeping the Muppets alive and of high-quality. The campaign is against multiple simultaneous performers and...

The TV listings say it is "new" It is listed as "new" in all the TV listings I looked at (if it is a repeat they usually denote that, or at least don't list it with the "New" tag...but people do make mistakes). I don't watch Craig regally (basically only when Muppets are on) so I don't know...

Sorry for the short notice, but I was just notified today... Everyone’s favorite king prawn – Pepe - will be a guest on the late night talk show: “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” tonight (Tuesday, November 15)! That's right, tonight! Pepe the King Prawn will be a featured guest along...

If Jude Law, Jennifer Garner, Robert DeNerio, Orlando Bloom, Will Farrell, Julia Roberts and other actors can work on multiple projects in a year, in multiple cities all around the world, and with different production companies - why can't Steve Whitmire, Dave Goelz, Eric Jacobson, and the...

If a guy like Jude Law can make 6 movies just in the year 2004, I think Steve, Dave, and the others can work it out and handle 4-5 productions in the next 3 years. If you want quality productions, you need quality performers and characters - not just convenient ones. When Jennifer Garner did 2...

With what?

Time for me to ramble and rant a little... but to answer the question I choose #3 I am loyal to the characters, and I think we need the SaveTheMuppets campaign to do this. I do not want people who just do impersonations of the characters - I want people who are the characters. Dave is Gonzo...

The word Muppet is not owned by Disney. The word Muppet is also still usable by Henson and Sesame Workshop. Fraggle Rock, Emmet Otter, etc. can all say the word "Muppet" "Muppets", or "Muppeteer". Likewise Sesame Street still calls characters the "Sesame Street Muppets" and they still have...

Al Yankovic wrote a song where each line was a palindrome (let's see if I can remeber all the lyrics here)... Bob I, man, am regal: a German am I Never odd or even If I had a hi-fi Madam, I'm Adam Too hot to hoot No lemons, no melon Too bad I hid a boot Lisa Bonet ate no basil Warsaw was raw...

New Episode A new episode of "Statler and Waldorf: From the Balcony" was posted on Movies.com today. In the latest installment of the bi-weekly web-show, Statler and Waldorf talk about the films "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Get Rich or Die Tryin'", plus Sam the Eagle stops by to...

Ever since I started The Muppet Newsflash, people have been asking "when are you going to start a forum?", “why don’t you add a forum?”. For the past 9-months I’ve been hesitant to add one, as I felt there were already several strong fan forums on the web (like this one), and adding yet another...

Here is what I posted back on Tuesday night: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showpost.php?p=347246&postcount=281

That's ok, because Sesame Beginnings is not trying to be a Sesame equivalent to that type of show. A lot of people are making the comparison to Muppet Babies, but the only real common ground the two shows share are the show has baby-ized versions of Jim Henson characters. Other than that there...

The Fiery scene was done with black velvet. Blue screen technology was around (it was used on Fraggle Rock and tons of other productions Muppet & non-Muppet), but having the performer who had to be in frame be removed (having them wear a flat blue full body suit) was not as good back then (you...
