Live Muppeteers in Traveling Matt segments

Miss Piggy and Beau?

How interesting, what is the story there? Does Beau have a crush on Piggy? She often has scenes with him. Or, does she have a secret crush on him?

Now that could get complicated. . I'll blame it on Beau. He's so quiet and sweet. Wait a minute he's to good for Miss Piggy! LoL.

Thanks for clearing up that it was Dave who was on the roller coaster. That way he could be close to Matt and operate him easily.

I also remember in Muppets Go To Disneyworld, it showed Miss Piggy and Beau riding around in a spinning teacup. And I thought I saw some tops of heads down in the cup. Can you imagine the Muppeteers going through that all crouched down in a spinning ride?

I thought it was Piggy and Floyd.

It's Dave performing Matt, and it is a puppet not a doll. The same shot was recreated for the UK production with Dave Barclay and a fake arm on a ghost train ride.

Dave was afraid of rollercoasters I think and he said the writers kept putting him into situations like the rollercoaster for a laugh.
