Asking Jim part 2
Jim answers part 2
1. From Jimjudy: :If you ever wrote something for the Swedish Chef?
Yes, I write for the Chef. Words. Approximations of what I think he might sound like. It’s up to Bill Barretta to turn them into comedy genius…and he does, yoobetcha.
2. From Dwayne: You seem to have really been thinking a lot about Scooter due to the answer on him, Are you and others working towards bringing some of the older Muppet such as Scooter, Dr. Teeth Rowlf and others that have not been in the spotlight in some time back. With that are you going to have to change there make-up or personality to fit with todays audience?
I think we always look for a way to give all the characters their moment…and more if the situation and story warrant it. The Muppets are this incredible repertory company, and you want everyone to get their shot. That said, I don’t think their personalities will change; rather, they react as themselves to today’s situations, thereby making them contemporary and relevant to today’s audience.
3. From Togetheragain: I've seen this adorable little picture of Rowlf and Robin sitting at a piano looking at sheet music, and I was wondering if there's ever been any sort of initiative to explore that particular frog-dog relationship? ...And I think I'll stop my Robin-related questions there, at least for now, before I get too extraordinarily carried away. He's my favorite, see... Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer the crazy fans, Jim! It's very much appreciated.
Hey, I’m crazy, too…and don’t you forget it. Not that you could. Rowlf and Robin. That is an interesting combination. They’re both easy-going pure souls, watchin’ the river flow types. Thanks for the idea. I shall put that in big letters on the dry erase board of my mind.
4. From Ryan: Pertaining to Pepe's new book, "It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp," one, I can't believe he's getting to write one--especially before Piggy! How great for him (unless Miss Piggy gets to him...). He must have a GREAT publicist! How'd he pull it off? Second, is Pepe referring to himself as a shrimp in the book title? Or was that an executive decision by Kermit or the editors? It seems to me Pepe would not be very happy being called a shrimp, but I don't know him as well as you do! And this one is one that not only Ryan would like to know but I'm sure a lot of us would inculding myself.
Pepe has a very good publicist, okay. It is Pepe. He’s irresistible, as well as unbelievable! As for the title: good catch. Pepe explains the reason he went with that title in his introduction. It is, of course, in his own best interest.
And one more tiny little thing that's been bothering me... In the first "Studio DC: Almost Live," who performed Floyd and Janice? Do you know? Can you share? I heard a rumor that Jerry Nelson came back to dub Floyd's line. And also, if you can share, who performs Scooter in the next special? Thanks Jim
I’m not sure on Floyd (though I’m pretty sure you’re right)…and as for Janice. I know, but not sure I can say. Check the credits, figure it out and I bet you’ll guess right.
