Who's on your Hug Bucket list?

[D'Snowth]

Tell me about it. Even THEN, she was having minor work done almost on a seasonal basis - look at her from Season One, then look at her from the last season, she almost looks like a completely different person.

Got as far as to shake Caroll Spinney's hand, maybe get to hug him next time around.

One disappointment was actually meeting Sonia Manzano (Maria). Posed for a picture with her, but she was... for lack of a better word... ICY. Maybe she left her Pleasant Pills at home.

Muppet wise- Kermit, Walter, Gonzo, Pepe, Floyd, Lips, Abby Cadabby, Grover

Muppeteer wise- Steve, Peter, Bill, Eric, Matt, Leslie, Dave, Caroll, Johnny T!

Others- Constantine Maroulis, Audrey and Jeff Dunham, Jean-Luc Biladeou, Drew Carey, Idina Menzel, Jason Segel, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Arden, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Butler...

there's probably more, but I can' think of them right now!

I totally forgot about this thread, until it got bumped. About a year after I posted here, I did get to meet Caroll again, and hug him (also got to hand him a picture I drew for him).

Not too much on my Bucket List now, but being lucky enough to meet Caroll twice is tremendous.

It might sound cliche, but he is one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Basically, I think I would immediately start breaking down in tears and hug them if I were to meet any of the original Sesame Street cast members including Emilio, Sonia, Bob, Roscoe, Loretta, as well as Alison and Alan. Same with a lot of the Muppeteers.

One disappointment was actually meeting Sonia Manzano (Maria). Posed for a picture with her, but she was... for lack of a better word... ICY. Maybe she left her Pleasant Pills at home.

Aaww, i'm really sorry meeting Sonia wasn't the experience you were hoping for. Maybe she was just having a bad day.

For me, anybody from Celtic Thunder or Celtic Woman. Also voice artists, namely Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille, Andrea Libman, etc.

Of course, I can't leave out Muppet performers:
Steve Whitmire
Dave Goelz
Karen Prell
David Rudman
Caroll Spinney
Kathy Mullen
Louise Gold
Noel Macneal
and several others too many to name now.

And since today is the 10th anniversary of Steve Irwin's death, I would really love to hug Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin and thank them for keeping his dream alive

To add on, I would love to hug the Kratt brothers, Chris and Martin. Among my childhood idols those two.

I would love to hug any Muppet, but if there was ever a chance to hug any of the Fraggle Five, especially Wembley, I'd jump at the chance right away.
