Sesame Street News Flash - Holiday Mix-Up

[foxxyloxx]

Awesome twist ending. Oh, CTW, you've done it again! Sesame Workshop should be taking notes.

[AnimationDiana]

According to Muppet Wiki there was another sketch where Kermit interviewed Santa Claus. In the other sketch Santa was a lavender live hand Muppet instead of a pumpkin one. (And he also wore glasses.) MarshalGrover, can you please post that clip if you could find it?

Don't see what's wrong with getting pumpkins for Christmas. You can use those pumpkins to make, what else, pumpkin PIE.

I think Miss Piggy's given names are "This Little"

[brianklick]

Glad ya asked

im sorry i asked

[dudu4life]

"Hold on, will you get off my lap?!!"

Priceless!

[JGCooney]

Isn't one of the muppeteers in this clip also voicing Charlie in Charlie Looks For a Policeman?

[muppetfan33]

Yes. That would be Frank Oz who played Santa Claus.

[ap2152002]

So let's see the easter bunny thinks he's santa claus, the witch thinks she's the easter bunny and santa thinks he's a kid.

Yep it's a holiday mix-up all right.

[kangaroo371]

The witch could not be jerry. The witch is is a female person. jerry is a guy.

[MarshalGrover]

Uh, where have you been? MANY female Muppets have been vocied by males. *cough* Miss Piggy *cough*

[wiley207]

Yeah, on Sesame Street, quite a few females were voiced by Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt. Fran Brill, a female Muppeteer, has also voiced various female Muppets too

[wileyk209zback]

@MarshalGrover Besides, Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt seem to have voiced a LOT of female Muppets.

[starrsy1]

you tell them kermit  dumbasses

[dlikuski]

I know that the witch is Jerry Nelson and Santa must be Frank Oz (sounds like Prince Charming). So, by process of elimination, does that make the Easter Bunny played by Richard Hunt?

[wiley207]

Richard Hunt was definitely the voice of the Easter Bunny. After a while you get to recognize Muppeteer voices

[MuppetPro]

Oh totally. Plus I've masterd at reconizing Muppeteer mouth movements just in case the Muppeteer isn't doing the voice. Jim Henson is easy to spot, Frank Oz is tougher. For example

Jim Henson performed but didn't do the voices of Bruce Stringbean (Born to Add), some female characters in the mid and late 1970s, and Little Chrisy (sometimes Richard Hunt). And Frank Oz performed the lead baby for "I'm a Baby, Rock Me". ;)

[wiley207]

That mask the Rabbit gets out looks a little like Richard Nixon! (though it appears to be Frankenstein's Monster on closer inspection)
