Dave Goelz always did Traveling Matt except for a few "postcards" that he sent from a different country on Fraggle Rock. Another puppeteer would shoot the scene and then Dave would dub it over with his voice for those. Also, Dave redubbed a lot of the "postcards" to make them into commercials for the Kermit Channel that premiered internationally.

I do remember UTM hosting the Saturday morning NBC cartoon lineup when the animated version of "Fraggle Rock" was on the air. He pronounced "television" as if it were a French word, and he'd host from Doc's workshop (pre-desert move).

Luke,
I think Matt only done the show once, And it could have been Dave Barclay performing him (He performed Matt for the UK Scenes and Postcards and The Comic Relief.) I also think it was probably done in the mid to late 80's.

Travelling Matt
Do you have any of those parts on video? Mokey and Cotterpin also done a Promo Tour on CBC in the 80's and a few in the 90's (when those videos were released.)

see ya
