Magic Mirror Newsflash Question

[D'Snowth]

In the Sesame Street Newsflash sketch where Kermit was interviewing the wicked witch's magic mirror, was that Jerry Nelson inside the mirror as the mirror?

 

[Barry Lee]

Yes it is indeed Jerry Nelson.

That's one of the few News Flashes to feature a real human in the skit. Frank Oz performed the Witch, since Jerry Nelson. was the mirror (usually it's Jerry who does the witches). To tell you the truth, I think Frank Oz does a better witch than Jerry.

Another News Flash with Jerry Nelson making a cameo is the "Jack and the Beanstalk" one. Jerry plays the giant. He says at the end, "Oh, they often come to visit... but they never stay!"
