because bill is pushing rowlf back into the muppet group
True. Also, the writers were not such fans of Pepe -- I think he had just one line in the original script -- but his role has been expanded in the movie itself, so that's good. I have no doubt that he'll be hosting all the backstage stuff for this movie though!

Oh good, these are gems and sadly the original files posted were messed up.

I swear, rewatching Walter's interview...I don't know if Linz is using MC as material or actually making fun of when we harp and whine on a certain topic(myself included) Either way I loved it. First time I've seen a Muppet make references to us in a long time.

I have a feeling a lot of muppet fans are not aware of post Jim Henson productions or characters, hence a lack of knowledge regarding Pepe. Ive met people who say they love the muppets but arent even aware of anything theyve done in the last decade
