A Muppeteer Quiz For You Guys

[Skekayuk]

I thought it being Christmas I'd concoct a little quiz for you guys. I would have posted in the "Games" section, but for some reason I know not, I am not allowed to post there. So I've put it here (on the basis that it is a quiz about "Henson People", but if the forum moderators feel it should be moved to another section, please move it as relevant.

So here's eight questions, see if you know the answers (I think the answers all count as 'Henson People'):

1. Who became a puppeteer as a means for getting to work in television?

2. Which Muppeteer was born in Hereford?

3. Who (effetively) sold his guitar to get to Sesame Street?

4. Who forecast the weather by looking out of the window?

5. Who named an MCC character after one of their assistant puppeteers?

6. Who turned up many hours too early for their Muppet audition?

7. Which Muppeteer is an honoury citizen of Memphis Tennessee?

8. Who originally built Rizzo The Rat?

and a Bonus question: What is the collective answer for all of the above?

I want to think it is Steve Whitmere but i know he wasn't a Puppet builder. I know Dave Gozle was, and I don't even think Richard did any building so I'm going to Gussse Steve but I don't know.

i dont get the bonus question.

 

[Skekayuk]

Steve did not build Rizzo.

I will leave the quiz a few more days before posting the answers.
