OK, so far they've found several understudies to carry the following Muppets into the millenium:

Big Bird: Matt Vogel
Ernie and Kermit: Steve Whitmire
Grover: Eric Jacobsen (VERY good job)
Cookie Monster: David Rudman
Bert: Eric Jacobsen

but these Muppets haven't been spoken for yet:

Oscar and The Count.

I don't think anyone yet has got the voice for Oscar, but I think

Martin Robinson (Telly and Snuffy) can take over the Count. He's got a good singing voice and a voice close enough to Jerry Nelson's.

Matt Vogel could prolly do Oscar. If he can do Big Bird, he can do Oscar. Hes basically Big Bird after hes gotten his vocal chords damaged. LOL. (id put a luaghing smile but there is none. :smirk: )
