There's a cute story I heard where Jim Henson went to do an interview at a local radio station, and naturally, he took Kermit with him. While he was there for the interview, without thinking, the sound guy pinned a mic to Kermit's collar.

How about that? Jim Henson was such an artistic genius, people treated his puppets like separate people.

I get that when a character like Kermit is on it has to be scripted. They are performing with a muppet and they are extremely careful about what Kermit says to protect the integrity of a character that's on children's TV. So Jay knew the questions and answers ahead of time. That Italian joke though, they must have snuck that one in because Jay was legit laughing.

Anyone going to acknowledge that Kermit's voice sounded different in 1979? He never made any reference to that. I wonder if he should have said that it was part of his aging. As he gets older, his voice changes. lol. I know the difference was Jim Henson (1979) and Steve Whitmire (1996), but it is interesting to know that.
