I loved that bit! I got another one from the same film:From Muppet Guys Talking.
Bill Barretta: For Muppets Tonight, we started having workshops to find new characters. And I picked up this Viking pig, with big bushy eyebrows, a shield and a sword. And I forget what the question was but, he answered (in an effeminate voice) "This is fabulous being here!" (Everyone laughs) Just completely different. "I love this Viking idea! This shield and sword makes me look fantastic!" And that became Howard Tubman.
Frank Oz: To get into Grover, for a long time I went, (in Grover's voice) "Hmm?" Somehow, that always got me into it. But I did fashion Grover on my dog, Fred.
Jerry Nelson: One of the writers was writing a new character. He wasn't into blood at all, but he had a real jones for numbers. So I asked Jim, "Could I do it?" He said, "Let me hear it," and I said, (in thick Transylvanian accent) "Yes, I vant to count!"
