What a fun video! It really showed the silliness of forced disagreement in "debate" shows there.

I loved this. I think Caroll rocked it. He told me Joey Mazzarino did primary puppetry for Oscar while he did Big Bird live. This whole segment was great. Hopefully they will have Big Bird and Oscar back!

This was awesome! Obviously, it was scripted because, Caroll couldn't do both characters at once.

Is it just me or did both Big Bird and Oscar's voices sound quieter than usual (I'd expect it on the one Caroll wasn't physically performing, but not both)?

I expected Oscar to want to debate, though he really doesn't, and comes off as more pleasent than usual. But then again, he's probably not debating as hard as he might because Stephen Colbert wanted them to debate.

This is why fans of the Muppets need there own TV show. So they can have them on there show.

Well, Stephen Cobert is probably a fan. Though I doubt he posts on this forum.
