I meant to say “beginning” and not begging.

So I was filling through channels and I saw Kermit the From on the VMA’S pre-show. SO I figure I’ll watch, it’s Kermit after all, right? What’s the worst that could happen. While the interview and Kermit was funny, he still sounded like the guy from AGT (America’s Got Talent). As a Muppet fan I am begging to wonder what’s happening?

Why is our beloved frog not sounding like himself?

Hey Steve! Great show this week!

One correction regarding Bruno the Trashman. Neither of Caroll’s arms are inside either of Bruno’s — rather, they both go into the trash can, so Caroll can perform both Oscar’s head and Oscar’s left hand. And Bruno does speak, on occasion — as far as I can tell, Caroll has a string inside the trash can that he can pull with Oscar’s left hand to make Bruno’s mouth open.

Here’s a great clip of the two of them from “Here Come the Puppets!”

Also, a question: where does that picture of Jim Henson with Piggy and Fozzie come from?

Thanks, Steve. Keep up the good work!
