    seriously... I want Kermit to have a role in a serious movie, with no mention to the fact he's a frog or a muppet. XD

      I mean, the whole idea is that they are working actors.

    I love this because it's so honest and real. At no point in the interview did I think of Kermit as just a muppet. I felt as if he in fact actually exist. Now that's what I would call real magic :)

    Kermit sounds so emotional when he's talking about Jim

  • @MuppetVoicesAndMore
    @MuppetVoicesAndMore 12 лет назад +38

    The "new Kermit" actually isn't that NEW. Steve Whitmire has been performing Kermit since 1990, so that's 22 years.

      He was indeed. Chosen by Jim Henson (God bless him), to carry on after Henson died.

    As a 37 year old man I still LOVE this frog. Thank you Mr. Henson for being part of my childhood. RIP

    I love how u can actually forget that it’s a muppet. His facial expressions and delivery of sarcasm is excellent. Kermit will always be the best

    Kermit, such an unassuming figure, who became the leader of the Muppets and a wonderful entertainer. I asked someone one time how the little weak chinned, Muppet did it and they said something profound but true, Kermit is pure Love. The rest of the Muppets are great characters with quirks and personalities but Kermit is the leader because you get a sense he cared, he was pure & very humble. That was the magic of Henson and what he put into him. I people the most with those same traits too.

    This is seriously one of the best celebrity interviews I have ever seen. Loved the sincerity from both George and Kermit. Great questions and answers, and good eye contact too!

  • @optigers1509
    @optigers1509 12 лет назад +5

    kermit is just the best. he's been around for a long while, and hopefully he's around for a good long while yet. he's one of the very few things that can always make me laugh.

    I actually had the great opportunity of meeting Kermit hes one of the finest individuals I've ever met really.

  • @BKAllmighty
    @BKAllmighty 12 лет назад +6

    At 7:52 I just couldn't stop laughing. I don't know if that was scripted or on-the-spot but the dormant face and sound was just too funny.

  • @IxNxFxExRxNxO
    @IxNxFxExRxNxO 10 лет назад +2

    I looooove how the interviewer really gets into it and really believes he is speaking to kermit. He is so much into it you can see it in his eyes especially at the end.

  • @Spifftasticdork

    The weird thing is, I watched this entire interview with rapt attention and took it all seriously.

  • @theobscurelily
    @theobscurelily 13 лет назад +6

    Kermit really is the greatest performer. Even as just a piece of cloth and pingpong balls, the character and personality that cones through is amazing.

  • @MrCarl220
    @MrCarl220 12 лет назад +11

    Those facial expressions he does are just epic!!!

  • @drboogersnot
    @drboogersnot 12 лет назад +24

    If I ever become a billionaire, I will hire Steve Whitmire to live in my house and work Kermit 24/7 so he could be my roommate. True story.

  • @joseph13gowry
    @joseph13gowry 11 лет назад +7

    No matter how often you watch anything to do with Kermit and co,you just can't help but laugh and as Jim Henson would say,when you watch Kermit,you're not listening to Jim Henson,playing Kermit,you are watching Kermit as Jim H took on that personna.........genius,pure and mind blowingly simple genius

    • @anitastodolak9882
      @anitastodolak9882 6 лет назад

      Amen! I couldn't have said it better myself! Jim Henson was/is not only a genius but A MASTER! A MUPPET MASTER! I know in my logical mind Kermit is not real but you genuinely forget because of Jim Henson and his mastery! A clear example of this is to watch and episode of Arsenio Hall. 2 weeks before he died. Arsenio was such entranced! That's the "magic!". May THE MASTER rest in peace. I do miss him!

  • @tommyo.7876
    @tommyo.7876 11 лет назад +6

    One thing I really liked about this interview was there weren't overly drawn out laugh breaks. Most host shows get too carried away with the laugh pauses.

  • @luzyfalluzy
    @luzyfalluzy 12 лет назад +2

    It was quite a few years ago now but I heard a radio interview with Kermit. He was asked what he was like when he was younger. He said, 'Awww, I was a tadpole.' That was so typical of him.

  • @MrMetalmanRock
    @MrMetalmanRock 10 лет назад +3

    You know, what I find funny is when Kermit talks about the Alice Cooper episode, that was actually the first episode that Steve Whitmire performed in, even though he wasn't Kermit yet.

    The bit about having to call Fozzy for reunion movies is great 3:35, but the best his reaction to being asked what he thinks of Fozzy's jokes.
