Some observations: - Frank Oz's voice in the Hillbilly Trio performance sounds like an early version of what would become Animal. - Jim Henson's voice for the hotel desk clerk sounds pretty much the same as Rowlf just a little angrier.
The Country Trio was a hillbilly band consisting of Muppet versions of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Jerry Nelson. @2:46 "Jim is the banjo player for the Country Trio, a Muppet band that performed in variety show appearances in the mid 70s, and occasionally on The Muppet Show. Jim, and his fellow Trio members Frank, and Jerry, are based on their respective performers. Bonnie Erickson, who designed all three and and built Jim and Frank, said that "[the puppets] are dressed that way, because that's how [Jim, Frank, and Jerry] dressed then." They were created for an appearance on The Perry Como Winter Show in 1972, where they sang "You Don't Mess Around with Jim." - muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Jim That song was a big hit for Jim Croce in 1972.

Featherstone sounds exactly like George the janitor from the muppet show
6:04 - 6:11 😂😂😂😂
Is this the full Winter show? Or just the Muppet parts?
Mostly just the Muppet parts.
