Ooh

While it’s not likely to generate much in conversation, but here’s a few thoughts:

  • There have been hints that Leslie and Stephany will be getting characters, which is very exciting, since the Muppets really do need more actually good female characters performed by female puppeteers

"The Count Counts"

I had this audio tape as a kid. So cool to find it uploaded to Youtube.

Pretty sure most of these songs were actual segments on Sesame Street. I know the "Doll House" song was featured on there. Although here the song seems to have been truncated to remove the two cats who destroy the dollhouse.

[up][up]I am sorry if I sound pushy or rude, who are "Leslie and Stephanie"? I know you know all these people by heart but we dont. I assume they are female Mupeteers. I am not saying this unkindly, I know you love to introduce people to the world of The Muppets and hope you wouldnt mind explaining. I always get caught up in this sort of thing with my passions so dont worry but please explain.

[up] No you are totally right. Sorry about that.

Both Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Leslie Carrara-Rudolph are long time Muppet performers. Leslie does, among other characters, Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street, and Stephanie has taken over Prairie Dawn since 2016 as well as doing a lot of doubling when the main performers aren't available.

They are both amazing performers, and it would be really great to see them get to create new characters for this show!

They actually announced a list of cameos for the show, although we have been assured by the creators that this is not all of them.

  • Paula Abdul
  • Steve Aoki
  • David Bizarro (Puppeteer)
  • Rachel Bloom
  • Nicole Byer
  • Sofia Carson
  • Charlamagne Tha God
  • Tommy Chong
  • Billy Corgan
  • Stephanie D’Abruzzo (puppeteer)
  • deadmau5
  • Desiigner
  • Colton Dunn
  • Morgan Freeman
  • Susanna Hoffs
  • James Hong
  • Jennifer Irwin
  • Karamo
  • Kesha
  • Tommy Lee
  • Lil Nas X
  • Riki Lindhome
  • Cheech Marin
  • Ziggy Marley
  • Jack Mc Brayer
  • Arden Myrin
  • Nico Santos
  • Kristen Schaal

  • Ryan Seacrest
  • Kevin Smith
  • Chris Stapleton

While Leslie isn't listed here, she did talk about how she was very excited for us to see something she did in Muppets Mayhem that she couldn't actually talk about in a Tough Pigs (muppet fan-site) Podcast, so I'm not sure what else that could be other than a new character.

I saw on Facebook The Muppets were called to act for the coronation! Is that true or I made a mistake?

So I've been watching Muppets Mayhem, and it's really good! I love Animal's subplot in episode 3 about job-hunting with Ben Schwatz.

What got my jaw to drop is something that happens at the end of episode 7: Peter Jackson appears, and they end up revealing that Meet the Feebles is an actual part of Muppet canon, and the Feebles are all either currently in witness protection or rehab. I never in a million years expected them to officially acknowledge that movie, let alone under Disney.

[up] I'm so excited that Leslie Carrara-Rudolph actually gets credited as a lead Muppet performer! It's absolutely fantastic for her, and a really good step from the franchise as a whole, as something that was desperately overdue.

It's also great to see Stephanie D’Abruzzo get a chance to guest star as Dr. Teeth's Mom! She's a super fun and funny character, and really helps flesh this world out a bit!

Zoot’s little shoe friend (also known as Jimmy Shoe) Lore!

We explored that even further, to have him with his shoe. Dave Goelz (the puppeteer for Zoot) came to me one day and said, “I have this idea that Zoot has this little character with him.” I was like, “Dave, that might be hard to do, all the time. Is there something else that maybe he has on him?” And he came back with this idea of doing a shoe named Jimmy, and Jimmy is Jim Henson. Dave found photos of Jim’s teeth because he wanted the shoe to be able to smile. Those are Jim’s teeth and he carved them himself. He went home and made this character because he was so dedicated to the surreal aspect of what he wanted to do with Zoot.

[up] This was a weird time for the Muppets. There’s also a short from around the same time period, where Steve is performing Swedish Chef for some ungodly reason, that lives in my brain rent free.

I swear Frank is about ready to throw that puppet and walk off set.

On a different note, “We are One”, one of the original songs from the Muppets Mayhem album, actually features Ringo Starr on drums.
