    Zebadiah? Or... who is this Muppeteer?

    Well sometimes Louise Gold's voice is easily recogniseable. But there have also been occassions (her performance on 'I Could've Counted All Night' on the album 'The Count's Count Down' being one example) where if I didn't know from the sleeve notes it was her, even those fans who think they know...

    Who's your favorite Muppeteer?

    Well why not. Actually she was the first British Puppeteer to work for The Muppets, and sang on a lot of the musical numbrs on TMS. She went on to help set up Spitting Image. Seriously though, my original reason is that I really like her singing, especially her big brassey Mermanesque belt...

    Muppeteer duos

    Yes Jerry Nelson and Louise Gold make a wonderful singing duo. - For a start Jerry Nelson is one of the few people who can sing a duet with Louise Gold and not get overshadowed! In fact he can even overshadow Louise! Beisdes their Jugband characters, Cowboy Jerry and Lou-The-Jugband-Lady...

    Who's your favorite Muppeteer?

    My favourite's just got to be Louise Gold. - Oh yes Jerry Nelson comes a close second, and there's lots of others I like. But if I pick a favourite that's who it is.

    Funniest Muppet Moments

    And Steve Whitmire was the only one of the puppeteers who did try to help (but he was on the other side of the recording studio), he called out "Uh Oh She's drowning, help her" and someone else (not sure who) thumped her on the back. Incidentally, it should perhaps be noted that Louise Gold...

    Funniest Muppet Moments

    That was when they did ANY OLD IRON on the Elton John epsisode of TMS. The Whatnot was puppeteered by Louise Gold (see the interviews section on MC). I agree it is funny, what makes it especially so, is the way that Whatnot with only one eye kept moving around all over the place, almost as...

    Muppet Show DVD Nitpicks

    Well done Ryan, I'm surprised a few other people didn't remember, it was mentioned in the Tibby's Bowl / Muppet Central interview with Louise Gold a few years ago (she was asked for her most embarrassing moment on TMS). Actually, if you watch that skit carefully, its noticeable that that...

    The International Muppet Show

    Hello Twiddlebug That's very interesting. I had no idea you and your TMS colleagues had ever done any live Burleque/Cabaret type stuff together as a group. I think you might also have solved a little mystery for me too. A little while ago, from a memorabilia dealer, I bought a programme...

    Louise Gold IS A Leading Lady (or Annie Sue Gets Her Just Deserts)

    Yes I have seen it. As for what I think of it, well I throughly enjoyed the show, and it's a real thrill to see Ms Gold get the kind of role she really deserves. Also because this is a new musical, she gets the chance (and responsibility) of originating the part, and a jolly good part for her it...

    Louise Gold IS A Leading Lady (or Annie Sue Gets Her Just Deserts)

    This is a msg for anyone likely to be down in Sussex in England between now and the end of August. If so, try and catch Jason Carr's musical version of The Water Babies at The Chichester Festival Theatre, it's well worth seeing, not least because Louise Gold is very definitely the star of the...

    Left handedness.....

    Are you refering to the ones I listed? If so then indeed most of them are right-handed, but they are the people whose names tend to crop up in disucssion threads on lefthandedness. However, I would point out that three of them (Richard Coombes, Mike Quinn, and, Louise Gold) can truly be called...

    Left handedness.....

    Well while their craft certainly gives the puppeteers a lot of skill with both their hands. It does seem that most of them do have a distinct perference for using one hand or the other as their "primary hand" (ie the one that operates the puppets head), in many cases this tends to be whichever...

    Left handedness.....

    While we're on the subject, it might be worth summerising the instances of left-handedness amongst the Muppet puppeteers themselves. Here's a list of the ones whose names seem to "demand" to be mentioned: Terry Angus - Honory Leftie. Writes right-handed, but happens to puppeteer left-handed...

    7 Days O'Customs Day 5: Annie Sue Pig

    Annie Sue Hey Quinn That model looks really cool. Well done you. I see what you mean about the hair, though. - I think I can guess why that pig had such amazing hair on TMS (it's a tribute to the actress they based her on). Oh and about the eyes. My guess (and this is just a guess) is...
