Don't forget:


Bert had a brother named Bart at one point too...

Did Richard Hunt play Bart AND Ernestine??

 

[Clean Gultch]

Bart was played by Frank Oz. Dont get Bart and Brad mixed up. Alot of people do. Brad is Bert's nephew. Brad i think it played by Richard Hunt/

How could Frank play Bert and Bart at the same time?

Performers often doubled up on voices in one sketch in the early years.

Bert and Bart werent seen together so they werent performed at the same time. Bert went into the other room to get ready and then Bart came. I actually think its just the same puppet but different clothes.

Well, they look the same, but they are very different.

We're discussing the issue of Ernestine's performer on Muppet Wiki. Currently, there is no consensus, though I personally believe David Rudman did Ernestine.
