One puppeteer I think is really talented is Jim Martin. He worked alongside Kevin Clash in the old Captain Kangaroo show. And in the Great Space Coaster, he did the funny Gary Gnu, the unique Baffle, and the villanous M.T. Promisses who had kind of a terrifying voice, but was still good.

Then he moved onto Sesame Street where he did short lived characters like Preston Rabbit and the grouch magician, the Great Blechini.

And he performed Ben and the Piece Police Captain in the Puzzle Place.

Jim rarely does a muppet on Sesame Street these days. I think he's directing Sesame Street shows now. But I can always seem to recognize whenever Jim does a guest muppet.
