Yeah, did you think they just sit there holding puppets up for hours at a time or something?

""If you don't dig sore arms, don't work with puppets. I've got a solution. When my right arm gets sore, I go out to a court and shoot left-handed baskets. That gets my left arm sore."

This is really nothing new. Marty Robinson was doing work on Allegra's Window several years back on Nickelodeon, Kevin Clash, Alice Dinnean, etc. were working on The Puzzle Place on PBS, etc. They're freelance performers from what I understand. They get paychecks from Henson but I don't think any of them are sole employees of Sesame Workshop, and therefore are free to pursue other projects.
