Two different times Frank Oz reflected on Steve taking over Kermit.
CNN People Profiles: The reason Steve had a hard time was it's not just doing another character, he had to get into the soul of Jim to be Kermit.
Best Ever Muppet Moments: For Steve it was emotionally difficult, because Steve loved Jim and Jim loved Steve, so becoming Kermit was not just difficult for him as a performer to mimic Jim, but it was hard for him to become that character emotionally. It was very hard for him.
