We made it! Two years in the making, we celebrate this 2nd anniversary by doing what we do best: bringing the best Muppet content on the web to the fans! The podcast’s finest moments tend to come when special guests appear and talk about their life working with Jim Henson and the Muppets, so that’s just what we’re going to do this week.

This special episode features an interview with one of the most-requested Muppet performers among the fans, Jerry Nelson. Now retired, Mr. Nelson was one of the very early Muppeers, working closely with Jim Henson on projects like Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock; not to mention numerous Henson films like The Muppet Movie, The Dark Crystal, and The Muppet Christmas Carol. His career spans over 40 years, with much of that time spent as a principal Muppet performer.

Thanks to everyone who left voicemails and sent in special audio pieces for the show. It truly is the Muppets fans – from all over the world and from every walk of life – that keep The MuppetCast afloat. I sincerely appreciate your listening.
