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

can you link me to his most recent appearances?

Steve performed Kermit in The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson The Muppet Christmas Carol Muppet Classic Theater Muppet Treasure Island Muppets Tonight Muppets From Space It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie The Muppets' Wizard of Oz A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa The Muppets (2011)...

I get what you mean. At least they fixed that in MMW.

Watched all 13 and it's an amazing show. Can't wait for next season.

So 1984: Steve Whitmire plays Gill the Frog in MTM, a character that roughly sounds like Kermit. 1990: Gets the role of Kermit 2014: Matt Vogel plays Constantine in MMW, a character that's impersonating Kermit 2017: Gets the role of Kermit

The Gary & Mary stuff was tolerable and didn't last that long, so I'm perfectly fine with them.

I'm really sad about this :sympathy:. Steve has been with the muppets since the 70's! He's been Kermit in over 6 muppet movies. His Kermit was part of my childhood just as much as Jim's. I have no words right now. I'm glad he got to work with the muppets for so long, but this is a huge blow. I...

Oh my god! This is so sad. What the heck!
