I'll bet the three of them set this whole thing up on purpose just to disgruntle Kermit. What do you think?

Heh, at first glance the plastic Halloween mask the Easter Bunny pulls out at 1:20 appears to be a Nixon mask, but when freeze-framed, on closer inspection it appears to be based off the monster from "Frankenstein." (Too bad, a Nixon mask would've been pretty funny, especially seeing as this segment was from 1974-1975.)

Too bad you'd never see anything like this on Sesame Street today.

does any one eles hear that noise in this clip?

@Garrettk41 You're right about all four. They were more than just puppeteers because they really breathed life into their characters. These pieces of fabric have more characters than most live actors. I miss Jim and Richard.

I was making a holiday joke.
Any clip with all four, Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard, is an absoulute gem. And this is no exception. Great characters and great confusion. How about the other news flash with Santa in it? Does anyone have that available?

These are one of several skits where you essentially have "adult" muppets with childlike qualities -- a reason why the News Flash segments works on several levels for grown-ups and kids.
I always loved how the witch and bunny do a double-take at 2:29 when the guy in the red suit believes he's found Santa Claus. And you also have Kermit's ubiquitous crinkled mouth whenever he finds himself in an uncomfortable situation.
