New John Lovelady Interview

[D'Snowth]

I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing, but I swear, his natural voice sounds very much like a Muppet voice!

Interesting tidbit that he and Jim Henson coincidently went to the same school in Leland.

Interesting. Didn't know that. And it's cool to hear from a performer who we rarely ever hear from.

EDIT: ok yeah, i'm definitely using that voice for a character now.

One thing I was interested to learn that the main reason he left so many shows during their productions (TMS, TGSC) was because one opportunity or another came along that he wanted to take advantage of - particularly if it involved him performing, since as he confirms, Jim felt he was more useful coordinating with the Muppet Workshop in New York, rather than actually performing on TMS in England.

First of all, I'm happy to see that you've taken interest in podcasts, Joseph. It is nice to hear an interview from a Muppet performer who doesn't get a lot of attention.

Now, all we need is an Erin Ozker interview. Though of course if she hadn't left TMS we like totally wouldn't have Janice's famous valley girl accent. Rully.

Oh, right. I checked Muppet Wiki and saw she's deceased now. So never mind.
