This part is really jarring to me "Brian Henson, the company’s chairman and Jim Henson’s son, said that while Mr. Whitmire’s Kermit was “sometimes excellent, and always pretty good,” things changed when he was off set. “He’d send emails and letters attacking everyone, attacking the writing and...

For some reason, I've never gotten used to Matt's count or Rudman's scooter, but I have gotten used to Steve's kermit (and now that's gone). Rudman and Vogel are great performers, but I guess it'll just take a little time to get used to.

Matt's count always sounds a little bit like Constantine as well.

Love this.

I can't really make out Peter Linz's voice. Are you sure? If so, poor Billy.

Shouldn't the muppet thought of the week been released by now?

Thank you! I was tempted to post something like that. What has she done for the characters? Why does her input matter?

This is seriously getting annoying. It's never going to be easy to fill in the role of Kermit the frog. Steve tried his best and did very well in my opinion. I'd like to see Frank oz or any of the henson family perform kermit.

Cheryl Henson, that is so uncalled for. I can't even believe someone would write that. Steve put his heart and soul into working with the muppets for so long and he did an amazing job as Kermit. I'm honestly so mad right now.

Dark times are already here. The Muppets failed in theaters and on the small screen. We won't be getting much (if anything) aside from 5 second youtube videos that aren't funny or entertaining.

Happy birthday Dave. Thank you for all you've done with the muppets!

Disney should make a live-action Zootopia next.

I hope he's talking about stuff like Muppets Wizard of Oz and VMX, because I really liked Muppets 2011 and MMW. So sad that he got kicked out doing something right.

Well they've done that and they never end up being great. That Gaga misfire was the worst.

One episode of The Good Place had Michael learn what Elmo was and then he was disappointed how they overused him.

You got your 426th signature :). Saw that you shared it on your fb page.

Man, this is just heartbreaking to hear. I don't know why Disney fired Steve and what's going on, but Steve's statement was just so touching.

I love how Dave Goelz is the sole Gonzo performer aside from 2 one-off performances.

Despite being sad about Steve leaving, I'm happy this means that Peter Linz gets more roles (most likely) he really deserves it. Also, Statler has got to be the most recast muppet Jerry Nelson 1975 Richard Hunt 1976-1991 Jerry Nelson 1992-2003 Steve Whitmire 2003-2016 (?) Peter Linz 2017-present

If I see one more article about how Kermit's "voice actor' has been replaced, I' going to flip. Thank god for AV Club. http://www.avclub.com/article/kermit-frogs-longtime-puppeteer-leaves-muppets-aft-257912
