Now that The Count is performed by Matt Vogel, I hope he appears in street scenes, sketches, and TV appearances more often than in the last few years.

i hope so too that would be awesome

Matt captured the Count's love of counting perfectly! I also caught the "bites from Charlie" reference as well as "ninja kitties" since cat videos are pretty popular on YouTube. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Matt and The Count in future episodes and keep the spirit of Jerry Nelson alive. I hope Jerry was watching from above, he'd be proud of Matt now.

Not necessary to count anymore, but it went up 3 million since the video went up. Heh. The page is just as hot as ever.

I did notice. Thanks for the info.

You're welcome. Oscarfan thinks it's there because of blue screen.

More TV appearances would be awesome! After Jerry stopped puppeteering, the Count stopped making TV appearances. The last TV appearance the Count made that wasn't scripted that I can think of was this:

Here are the lyrics:

Hope you don't mind, but I decided to fix some mistakes you made:
One day as i sat here on this YouTube site
I felt like counting cause that's my delight
But what could i count here? oh what should it be?
Should i count ninja kitties?
Or bites from charlie?
Then how it hit me
I knew what to choose
Forget bitten fingers
I'll count all the views
How many watched us
I'll tell you the news
cause I'm counting the yous in YouTube
There's one little viewer in a coffee shop
She sat and she watched us upon her laptop
And 2 3 4 5 6 and 7 and 8
Were watching from libraries
Isn't that great?
And 9 10 11 and 12 and 13
Were peering at us from computer screens
They watched Elmo's ducks
And they watched Telly's shoes
How many viewers were viewing these views?
I must keep on counting
There's no time to lose!
Cause I'm counting the yous in YouTube
I'm up to a hundred
No 200, 3
There's 400, 500 looking at me!
600 700 800 9
So many viewers oh this is divine!
I count to a thousand and add thousands more
I get to a million
There's viewers galore!
They watch Bert and Ernie and they stay amused
But how many viewers are viewing these views
There's no time to sleep and there's no time to snooze!
Cause I'm counting the yous in YouTube
10 million, 20 million
Oh I'm not done
Counting in millions is a million times fun!
100 million 2 million 300 4
We've counted this far now lets count some more
I count to a number so big and so fine
I get to nine-hundred-99-million-900-99-thousand-999
Am i done counting?
Oh can it be
Wait there's one more viewer there
Looking at me
I have some more counting that i must do
Before i can finish, I must count you
I counted to a number so big and so high
Because when i add you
That's a billion oh my!
1 billion, 1 billion oh I'm enthused!
But i want to keep counting
Yes that's what i choose
So i'll make you an offer that you cant refuse
You keep on viewing and i'll count the views
Cause I'm counting the yous, I'm counting the yous, I'm counting the yous in YouTube
Hey!
