The "Muppet Puppet Show" (with special guest star Jim Henson!)

I had this crazy idea about combining clips and audio from various Muppet productions into one video, and this is the result.

All of the voices that you will hear are the original people. When Scooter says the name "Jim Henson" in the cold open, that's really Richard Hunt's voice, lifted from the TV special 'The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson'.

When Kermit introduces the show, I spliced together syllables from guest-stars JIM Nabors and Florence HENderSON.

And when Kermit introduces Jim later in the show, it's actually Jim-as-Kermit saying his own name from the 'Secrets of the Muppets' episode of the Jim Henson Hour.

The clips are cobbled together from: John Denver episode (cold open), Jim Henson's American Express commercial (flopped mirror image), Jim Nabors ep. (Kermit's intro), Florence Henderson ep. (audio), Ethel Merman ep. (a Kermit clip and Java audio), Beverly Sills ep. (audience applauding), Senor Wences ep. (a veritable gold mine of clips about them doing a puppet show), Mummenschanz ep. (Statler and Waldorf), The Muppets on Puppets public television documentary (Jim in black and white), Cleo Laine ep. (various), Chris Langham ep. (Statler and Waldorf), and the Edgar Bergen ep. (Fozzie's ventriloquist act).

Special thanks to Heralde for his timely assistance, to D.W. McKim for helping me recall which episode one clip was from, and to KermiClownVideos for filling in the gaps of the episodes I was missing.

I hope you've enjoyed watching!

Who made this video?

[LextheRobot]

@collgoff

Well, this particular video was edited together by me, LextheRobot. My real name is Alex Newborn.

But technically all of the content was made by a genius named Jim Henson and his talented crew at the Muppets. Writers like Jerry Juhl, puppet builders like Don Sahlin, performers like Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Dave Goelz. The list goes on forever.
