He is beyond that. He is truly one of the most remarkable puppeteers on the planet. If I could spend an entire day talking with him, I would be happier than ever before, so to speak.:wisdom::wisdom::wisdom:

I've listened to this interview several times and I never get tired of it. I love listening to him talk about his life, his pre-Muppet work and of course his career as Big Bird and Oscar.

I love his distaste for "Friendly Village" (see part 3 at the 9:20 mark) and also in part 3, it gets dark and starts to rain outside. Caroll hears the rain and says "There's a storm brewin' outside." Later it pours and Caroll says "My lawn is rejoicing!" I loved that.
