Anywho, a few years ago I went to my local library to check out some books on the Muppets/puppetry in general and I checked out a book on Carroll Spinney. Overall, it was a great book except for the fact that they kept on calling him Carroll Sweeney!

From the "Blarney Home Video" clip from Dinosaurs on YT...
"This is the voice of Ernie on Sesame Street"
"Steve Whitmore?"
Ugh, this has been discussed before. Steve Whitmire is a puppeteer, not just a voice actor.

I mean, just saying "this is the voice of" doesn't necessarily mean they're referencing him as a voice actor....

True. But the guy who replied to him misspelled Steve's name as you can see.

I was reading reviews for The Happytime Murders, and one of them erroneously stated that Jim Henson created Sesame Street.
Yes, he created the puppets for it, but not the show itself.

Why would somebody misname them AND the show like that??!?!Man, I really hate that they got rid of all the adult characters on Avenue Street. Mary, Louis, Suzette, Jordan, Bop, Jenny- those guys were my childhood.

That's a common misconception that, in a sense, you kind of have to give people the benefit of the doubt for . . . I mean, when you really stop and think about it, if it wasn't for Jim Henson and the Muppets, we may never have had SS - or, at the very least, the SS we've come to know and love for the past nearly five decades.
