Have you seen the blog “Muppet Musings“? If not, check it out, it’s a good Muppet fansite!

Listener Rafi Levavy sent a link to NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” featuring Geroge Stephanopoulos, discussing Mr. Snuffleupagus. And yes, both of those are spelled correctly. I checked.

Alma Baratta found a wonderful clip of John Denver and Kermit the Frog performing at the US Embassy in Moscow from the 1980s. She also found and sent the video montage from this year’s Oscar awards featuring the Dom DeLuise clip from the Muppet Movie.

Disney’s Muppets Studio released a new video to the web on April 1. Big Mean Carl dressed as a bunny, eating other bunnies, and singing Stand By Me. Brilliant!

The all-new Stuffed and Unstrung from the Jim Henson Company is now officially playing at the Union Square Theatre in NYC.

Brian Henson spoke with NY Magazine about a variety of topics, including the Dark Crystal Sequal.

Oddly enough, so did artist Brian Froud.

Congratulations to SesameStreet.org on winning a Peabody Award!

The free traveling USO show based on Sesame Workshop’s award winning “Talk, Listen, Connect” initiative and produced in partnership with the Vee corporation, is back in the United States after an around-the-world tour. Tour dates for 2010 can be found here, on the official USO website.

The Sesame Street Safari of Fun is now open at Busch Gardens Tampa. If you can’t make it to Florida anytime soon you can still see two new videos by the local Tampa channel 10 news station.

Northern Ireland’s version of Sesame Street, called “Sesame Tree” is coming back for a second season, with a new character, Archie the squirrel.

An all-new single DVD release of Dog City is coming on June 8, 2010.

Jim Henson’s Fantastic World is coming to the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, MA this April. The exhibit will remain there until June 27.

Not surprisingly, Jason Segel has signed on to be the first non-Muppet cast member of the new upcoming Muppet film…that he is currently writing. Interesting that his character in the movie is the one tasked with bringing the Muppets back together to perform again, which in real life is kind of what he’s doing.

The claymation Aventures of Bert & Ernie will be coming out on DVD on April 6, 2010. This is a collection of recently-created short pieces that show Bert & Ernie in a variety of adventurous settings, and are a lot of fun!
