Happy 55th Birthday, Steve Whitmire!

[Cookie Chris]

Happy Birthday, Steve! I applaud you and Dave Goelz for continuing to perform and voice your Muppets ever since The Muppet Show during the late 1970s and early 1980s to our technology-driven future even when seniority begins to kick in around your age; and continuing to perform Jim's characters (Kermit, Ernie, Muppet Newsman) when no one else could after he died. This goes without mentioning that ten (or I should say eleven) years from now, you will have performed Kermit just as long as Jim Henson did. So, keep up the good work!

Happy 55th Steve Whitmire, thanks for keeping Kermit alive, and thanks for performing with the muppets since the 3rd season of TMS. Oh, and thanks for bringing Rizzo and Lips to life, and to a lesser extent, one of the best one shot characters, Trevor the Gross, happy birthday Steve.

Let us not forget that we are also celebrating Jeff Moss today.

I'm so proud of what you've accomplished in the Muppet world, Steve! I hope you continue to perform Kermit as long as I can remember!!
