Kevin Clash: If you go on YouTube, there's this wonderful piece of Jim and Frank doing a test to see how the Muppets looked out in the real world, because this was the beginnings of talking about doing the Muppet Movie. And it's in London, and it's Fozzie Bear and Kermit, and Fozzie's telling...
Joey Mazzarino: Matt and I direct these things out on the street, Murray goes out on the street mostly, he's not on the set, and one time we were in Brooklyn in Park Slope, and this woman smoking a cigarette comes up, and she was angry going "What are you people shooting here now?" I said...
Since Pig's Laundry and Froggy Fool said they prefer David's Cookie to Frank's, I have something related to that: I prefer the way David's Cookie sounds now to how it was when he first started. The 1:41 mark of this video shows what I mean. It goes from a Cookie clip from 2005 immediately to a...
This is what I put on Facebook: Today is the birthday of 2 people who played Kermit the Frog and Ernie, Jim Henson and Steve Whitmire. To celebrate them, here's a pretty cool video that someone made taking two versions of Rainbow Connection, the original version from the Muppet Movie and the...
Joey Mazzarino: I think new media helps us a lot, YouTube is hitting people that it would never hit. I wrote this song called I Love My Hair for my daughter, and it wound up becoming a viral thing. (Audience claps) Thank you. The first time I knew it was something special was this woman called...
I'm really sorry Brian Henson gave you a bad impression. He probably didn't know you were one of the puppeteers just because, he wasn't the one who hired the puppeteers. He was kind enough to sign my copy of Jim Henson the Biography when I met him at DragonCon.
I forgot to say this, but when my dad mentioned to Roscoe that we ran into Steve that day, he said that he, Bob and Emilio had dinner with Steve the previous night and talked about possibly including them in his own projects. So that's cool! Anyway, here's more video of Steve at a convention:
Kevin Clash: I got to perform with Jim a bunch of times and I loved how respectful he was when he came into Sesame Street. You know, this guy has done everything, directing, producing, but he was always respectful to whoever was directing. He even said to me "Boy, this script is hooo!" But he...
Joey Mazzarino: This is an example of a character who went on, not to be a hit character but somebody who lasted. There was a little grouch plant that was in a bit, and the writers loved it so much they wanted to create a character for it. (He does the voice) "And then he became Stinky the...
I thought Grandpa Camp had a sweet premise. I also liked the fact that Gonzo's grandparents were live-action humans. I like when everyone decided to cross each other's kingdoms, Gonzo didn't want them to enter his kingdom until his crown flew off.
Kevin Clash: In terms of directing, let's talk about the legendary Jon Stone. (Panel claps) I remember he said "You're really directing yourselves. If you make me laugh, I'll keep the camera on you all the time." I remember doing a puppet named Wolfgang that he loved. It was this seal, (does...
Kevin Clash: For me, to make a long story short, go and see Being Elmo.
Joey Mazzarino: Being Elmo, whoo! (Audience cheers) Next!
Kevin: Yeah, next. (Laughs)
Matt Vogel: We don't need to hear more from you. I saw you on the Daily Show. Joey: Wait till Being Broccoli comes out, that's gonna be...
At a convention back in April 2017 with Caroll and Debi Spinney, Debi said one of the things they plan to do for the 50th anniversary is to bring all the puppets back, which possibly means they'll finally rebuild Bruno. I wonder if this means they'll bring back the Around the Corner characters...
Kevin Clash: Tell them about Big Bird.
Matt Vogel: Yes. Caroll Spinney is the performer of Big Bird, he's been doing it since day one. He's a wonderful man, and somewhere along the line, it was decided they needed someone to stand in for Caroll when he didn't wanna go to Iowa (Kevin cracks up at...
This might sound a little nit-picky, but I think it's kinda sad how Ryan doesn't wanna bring up Kevin when talking about how he became Elmo for fear of talking about the scandal. Hopefully, with Happytime Murders being out now, and it being pretty public knowledge that Kevin is with Henson now...
