This job has given me the opportunity to meet some very cool people, but there’s few that can compare to the joy of actually getting to interact with the Muppets. Last year, I was among a group of journalists to visit the set of Muppets Most Wanted, where we spoke to Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and Walter, who were just as awesome as you might expect. They were, of course, accompanied by their very talented performers (Steve Whitmire as Kermit, Eric Jacobson as Piggy and Peter Linz as Walter), but it’s very easy to tune that out when you feel Kermit himself is speaking directly to you, nodding and listening as you ask a question and then giving his funny, thoughtful answers. All of which is to say kudos to these amazing performers who continue to give these characters life and to Jim Henson and his early collaborators, who first gave the world these beloved icons.
