Jerry will continue to perform the Count on Sesame Street, but there were auditions this week for his other characters (with Jerry's blessing). No word yet on who will be doing what.

Glad to help!

Also glad also you got the "Princess Melora" reference. *The Frog Prince* is one of my favorite Muppet productions, especially Jerry's Robin.

Do you mean his Sesame characters or his Muppet Show characters? If so, which ones :smile:

Will you notify us of the changes once they take place, please?

If anybody has ever written Jerry and got a response, you'll kow he's absolutely one of the kindest, most cool people ever!! The kind of guy you just want to hang out with and talk for hours on end. Awesome guy, perfect performer!

Gotta love me some Jerry Nelson!!

Jerry was always one of my favorite muppeteers... though I never had a least favorite...I don't really know how to feel.

If it brings back characters like Sherlock Hemlock (I doubt it) and Herry Monster, it could be good news. I hope Jerry's doing alright, still....

edit... they did recast his Lew Zeland character, and they've re-recast Statler sometimes when Jerry's unable to perform him...
