Hi,

I've never started a new thread, but I found myself wondering about Eric Jacobson, who has taken over most of Frank Oz's puppeteering duties. First off, he seems quite talented, as I had no idea he was doing Piggy and Fozzie in AVMMM until I read about it on MuppetWikki! (guess I should listen more closely).

Anyway, I read that Eric started doing Bert in '97 and Grover in '02, but that Frank occasionally does a sketch here and there. I was wondering if there was a list of which bits Frank Oz has been involved in as Bert and Grover since he semi-retired from puppeteering.

Anyone who can help out, thank you kindly! :halo:

I haven't had the chance to read everyone's posts, but I LOVE Eric's Bert. The Bert today seems more nice and gentle in some ways. Frank's Bert always be No. 1, but sometimes wev'e got to move on(if that's making any sense). Steve's Ernie, well, that's pretty much self explanatory...:stick_out_tongue: :frown:
