The way it was vs. The way it is

[Ilikemuppets]

Michael Jeter (the 2nd Noodle) died. If I am correct, Jeter replaced Bill Irwin. Then Kristen Chenoweth came on to be the 3rd Noodle (Miss Noodle), but I wouldn't expect her to take on that role as a full time thing. She has better things to do, plus she is now a regular on The West Wing.

Well, Bill Irwin was opn new Elmo's World Segments last sesson and this season, so would that mean that he was replaced by Michael Jeter and then came back?
