Video: Matt Vogel premieres as Kermit in Muppet Thought of the Week

Meh, not a big fan of the voice so far.

I'm sure he'll get better but we'll see.

The way I look at it, it seems that when Steve first took over, he tried very hard to mimic Jim, and it just felt unnatural. Over time, Kermit's voice changed into a higher pitched voice (closer to Steve's speaking tone), and we got used to it. I feel like the same thing will happen with Matt's Kermit. He will soon begin to get more comfortable with the role, and give Kermit some new life. Best of luck to him

I know what you mean, after Steve's appeared in the recent interviews in the news, I hear a bit of in his real voice, so it seems like his Kermit was a combination of his own voice and Jim's Kermit.

It'sssssssss....

oKAYYYY.

I need more.

I wish Matt all the luck in the world.

The little sigh at the end of this had me like *insert heart eyes* That's Kermit, regardless of who is playing him; I think Matt did a wonderful job and yes, it's not quite Jim and not quite Steve but, it's certainly not bad. I've got mad love for the guy keeping my favorite frog alive.

Well I do think it is good but will improve over time

 

[Schfifty]

It's not too bad. It will take some getting used to for sure, but it's nice that we all finally get to hear Matt as Kermit, albeit for just a really quick video.

Still wish him the best of luck.

Honestly it really wasn't that bad, and I grew up on Steves Kermit first then slowly as I got older found Jims Kermit. That chuckle at the end defiently sounded like Kermit and so did the last line of the video. I'm glad they released it as we were gonna have to hear it eventually! Anyway best of luck to Matt and I'm sure he will improve!

 

[animalrescuer]

Not bad! It's not the best, but I think he'll get better with the voice as time goes on, just like all performers before him did, even Jim and Steve.

Props to Matt, he did a good job for his first time as Kermit!

 

[GuySmileyfan]

It's not too bad. Like everybody said, it takes time to get used too with Matt's role as Kermit. I hope he succeeds well, and hopefully we see some new projects for the muppets.

 

[ConsummateVs]

Finally, it's about time!! So, what's my opinion on Matt's Kermit voice?

Well... he actually sounds good, IMO. Not perfect, but not terrible, either. But like everyone else is saying, it is gonna take some time to get used to.
