I don't recall ever seeing him carry big pieces by himself, but muppets.com added a new video where Bo lifts Bobo doing exercises. He seemed to struggle a bit doing it. I wonder if he could lift Sweetums or Thog (now THAT would be a good "how'd they do that" moment if done in live action).
That sounds like a great idea. Maybe for one lever, in an idea borrowed from Bo Saves the Show, Beauregard has to find the key to the cellar so the monsters can perform.
The plot invovles Bobo hosting an exercise show, where he is in a park on location, talking about the buddy system. Beauregard apears as Bobo's buddy, and they decide to lift weights. However, they don't have any weights, so Bobo suggests that Beauregard lift him. Beauregard lifts Bobo a few...
I was reading DW Mckim's blog today, and he mentioned an appearane by the Sesame Street cast on Donahue, where they were promoting the 25th anniversary. I have never heard of this appearance before, and Muppet Wiki doens't appear to have a page for the show. So, has anybody else (besides DW)...
I've been wondering, has Michael Earl ever been credited by his full name? He has said that he first went by Mike Davis, and then had to change it, and changed it to Michael Earl. I know that fans have referred to him that way, and I believe that his article on Muppet Wiki was titled Michael...
Great answers. I didn't realize that there was a video with both Bobo and Beauregard on muppets.com (I didn't even know Bobo was on the site!).
Now for a new question...
Back in 1992, the Muppets made weekly appearances on Good Morning America. Did you write any of those sketches?
I wish I knew what Sesame Street vidoe that listener was referring to. I know a lot about Sesame Street videos, even ones I haven't seen. As far as I know there aren't any videos pairings Bert and Ernie with Irvine.
The closest I can think of to what was described is The Best of Ernie and...
John Henson has been Sweetums' main performer since Richard stopped being inside him, but others have performed him as well. Victor Yerrid has performed on occassion, and Rob Mills' name was on the monitor Sweetums appeared on in The Jim Henson Hour: Health and Fitness.
Special thanks to kathy26 for this suggestion.

A long time ago, there were two Austin Powers video games for Game Boy Color. They were Austin Powers: Groovy Baby and Dr. Evil: Welcome to my Secret Underground Lair. I only have the Austin Powers one, and haven't played it in awhile, but it seems they were game swith each main character...
In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he mentioned that during the break between the first two seasons of Sesame Street, Jim Henson didn't have any work for him. But as far as I know, The Great Santa Claus Switch was made before production on season two began. I wonder why Caroll wasn't asked to...
It has been sourced that Richard Hunt stopped performing the inside of Sweetums in the 1980s. I don't think it's known when, but there is a source that John Henson performed him sometime by 1987. However, I find it odd that there was a need to recast Sweetums. He was hardly used during the last...
There were two commercial breaks for the show during the original broadcast of Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, and watching the epsiodes on youtube, it seems that there was usually a promo for next weeks show before Jim Henson's closing.
Dog City and Song of the Clod Forest were both...
I was just rereading this, and man, I previously thought you were against such an idea.
The first issue begins with a short Muppet News Flash strip, but I think it might be interesting to see fake advertisements or comic strip "commerciasl" for ficticious products. Maybe ads for Doc Hopper's...
Man, it seems like the special features on these sets are a bit unredictable. Most of the seaosn 1 features had to do with the development of the series (well, I guess that was a bit predictable/expected..), then season 2's features were mostly thigns from the late 1990s/ early 2000s, and then...
Do networks usually have policies of how long the initial contracts for a show should last? Meaning that if a series is bought, would a network or production company normally order a certain number of episodes or seasons at first?
I never really noticed this about Rowlf, but I did notice it about other characters. Dr. Teeth, Sweetums, and even Crazy Harry were used quite a bit in the first two seasons, but then started appearing considerably less in subsequent seasons (and these characters had important enough parts in...
You know, for months since this project was announced (heck, evne before any such announcement, as I had been wishing for such a set... only a four-disc set focusing on different 10-year periods per disc), I had thought that the 1999 special Sesame Street Unpaved would make a good bonus feature...
