@Terragirl13 I know; I also thought of "A Muppet Family Christmas" as the Jerry Nelson Show, as many of his characters appear; in addition to Emily Bear (Fozzie's mom!) and Floyd Pepper and Lew Zealand, we also have Count von Count and Herry Monster and the Two-Headed Monster (though he actually performs one half of that monster), even some of his more minor characters like Simon Soundman!
You Can Tell That Most Season 40 Episodes Have At Least One Parental Bonus. Usually, It's a Character Cameo, But Sometimes They Will Reference Classic Sketches (With The "Ladybug's Picnic" Special at Hooper's or "Alligator King" Brand Crayons), as Well as Some of the Actors Who Worked on Sesame Street, Including The Late Ones Such as Richard Hunt, and of Course, Jim Henson.
@ExplorerDS6789 I heard he is doing much better now, thank goodness. But he and Caroll Spinney are getting on in years. I'm amazed Caroll Spinney is still often able to perform as Big Bird. You can also notice the Count's voice sounds a little different compared to how he sounded in the 1970s - 1990s.
@wileyk209zback In some instances Caroll isn't in the suit, they just dub in his voice later. For example, in the Journey to Ernie sketches, it was always Caroll's assistant inside the costume.
@ExplorerDS6789 Caroll told me he now has emphusema (if that is spelt right *em-fuh-zee-muh*) from smoking a lot. He no longer puppeteers the Count. Matt Vogel (Caroll's understudy for BB) puppeteers him and Jerry dubs in the voice, since puppeteering can strain him.
Poor Jerry..... He is on air in this clip, & a few months ago, I saw him in a wheel chair in a photo online. He isn't doing too well huh???? :-(

@FragglevisionReturns Ahhhh :-) That's very good to hear. I don't like seeing good people in a wheel chair or on Air.

@FlyingDuckMan360 That's right. One of them even referenced the infamous I-beam skit!

0:43- There's Jerry! Oh my, is that an oxygen tank hooked to his nose? I certainly hope he isn't sick.

@ExplorerDS6789 Matt Vogel was inside the suit AND did the voice in JtE, and some other SS stuff.
Matt has since become Caroll's understudy and has taken over some of Jerry's "Muppet Show" characters.
