He was sick when the taped it. Lew was performed by Bill Baretta and they chose not to loop him afterwards. But Jerry did loop Robin in the postproduction

It has been reported that his charcters are being recast, so that he can retire.
See this thread for more about that http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=15452&highlight=recast
And here you can see who is doing his characters in the new Oz movie http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=16495&highlight=recast

Jerry is stepping back from this Muppet characters (he'll still be around sesame street for awhile), but his characters are in good hands (or should I say good hands are in them. In Very Merry Muppet Christmas movie Jerry was sick for most of production and what he missed was done by other muppeteers. He looped lines afterwards to go over the fill in puppeteers (but not for all his characters - like Lew Zealand). His presences will be missed, but his characters and spirit will live on through the work of all the other muppeteers filling in.

They jolly well better do!

It's sad but he is 70 I believe, or aroung there. He's done a lot with the muppets into his later years. He deserves a good rest. I am glad they are recasting now rather than after he has passed away. It's much more of a passing of the torch kind of thing as opposed to a scramble for new guys kind of thing.

 

[Uncle deadly]

yeh, he will be missed by many.

Why did you bump a six year old thread? Where did you even find this thread? Good grief...
