RIP Jim Jerry and Carroll, Frank is the only one still with us in 2022
And Richard hunt 🪦 1992
It's funny how Jim Henson's natural voice sounds like a really serious Kermit.
For sure. But I don't know if Kermit is 95% Jim Henson or if Jim Henson is 95% Kermit! Either way there will never be another. They broke the mold with those two.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Jim Henson was the Original performer of Kermit
@@ashonlewis9353 I don’t believe anyone said otherwise.
Totally agree. As well as Ernie.
Caroll Spinney also sounds a lot like a more mellow and quiet Oscar, and Frank Oz's natural voice is basically a much deeper Bert (also like a less-dramatic Sam the Eagle), and Jerry Nelson sounds so much like Floyd Pepper.
*DICK CAVETT:* Now, are you all happier as yourselves?
*FRANK OZ:* (Quietly) No.
I love how Dick was just completely stumped by Oscar’s “I love trash” remark. He did not know how to bounce back from that, at all.
You're right, he was stunned. I'll bet he thought STP was going to cancel right there and then.
Dick Cavett is an exceptionally intelligent person, so I'm surprised he didn't realize that the monitors they watch during their performance would be showing the image in real time with only the teeniest bit of delay (like thousandths of a second or less). Or maybe he was being snide. Dick has been known to do that.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Cavett snide??? Perish the thought........
Frank Oz with HAIR! I think it's so great that Jim sounds so much like Kermit even in his normal speaking voice. RIP Caroll and Jim.
I miss Jim so much and now sadly Caroll 😢
@@crassenti Yeah, he played Big Bird for over 40 years. Seeing him as Big Bird at Jim's funeral was heart wrenching, though there were some really great moments too, such as when the guys all got together to sing some of Jim's favorite songs: ruclips.net/video/KSE1Mtnnm4Y/видео.html
And here's Frank telling a hilarious story about him and Jim: ruclips.net/video/zguccnOjnOI/видео.html
RIP Jerry as well
The instant Jim starts speaking I smile unconsciously. His voice is just so comforting and non-threatening. He *IS* Kermit the Frog. Counterintuitively, for me anyways, the great puppeteers all seem to be introverts yet do so well with interacting with other people while puppeteering, especially children.
Jim Hensen was a genius. I even smile when he is talking normal.
Working as a puppeteer for Sesame Street has to be the best job in the world.
If your love of puppeteering outweighs your hatred of sore arms.
@@yosefdemby8792 makes my arms sore just thinking about doing that job
Don’t forget that there’s also leaning sideways and in awkward positions, sometimes underneath a sofa, so that the puppeteer isn’t visible to the camera
You're right that's all puppeteers dream one day to get on sesame Street
Wow... what professionals... they can all turn it on at the drop of a hat!
I’ll be turning 50 soon and I can admit that My childhood was awesome
R.I.P. Jerry Carol and Jim
The Beatles of puppeteering.
Intelligent and extremely funny people. Don't look for attention but they are acutely aware of what is funny - Introverts rock.
The neckerchief game was strong with these men.
Disney, Lucas and Henson. Great creative visionaries.
I can give you some commercials
"Oh yeah! I love trash!"
It’s kinda sad that 3 of the og puppeteers are gone only frank oz remains
My childhood I love sesame street.💜
This is GOLD
Oscar is a gangsta. "I love trash!"
I like how Frank Oz is the voice of Grover but also the bald headed dude so many times when he goes to the diner and Grover is the waiter it's almost like he's doubling up in the same scene
Sam the Eagle is the bald headed dude you’re talking about’
No, that character, Mr. Johnson, was performed by Jerry Nelson.
Mr. Johnson the blue skinned bald character was performed by Jerry Nelson
@@sholabolaji2975 Oh. When he said Bald headed I thought he Meant Sam, cause he’s a bald Eagle, and he’s blue. No Mr Johnson the bald headed blue dude is voiced by Jerry, next to Frank. But Frank does do Grover, not just his voice. He performs him. Because he makes him come to life, Grover is a puppet.
So wonderful!
It’s funny, Jim’s natural voice sounds like Kermit, Frank sounds kinda like Sam The Eagle (or Bert), Carroll sounds just like Oscar, and of course Jerry sounds like Floyd Pepper (From The Electric Mayhem)
Caroll Spinney - Big Bird and Oscar
Frank Oz - Bert, Cookie Monster, Grover and Harvey Kneeslapper
Jerry Nelson - Thog, Sweetums, Robin the Frog, Herbert Birdsfoot, Sherlock Hemlock, Herry Monster and Mr. Snuffleupagus
Jim Henson - Ernie and Kermit the Frog
Wait, he was also Miss Piggy (why I came here, to be weirded out) and Sam the Eagle.
Magic
So much talent! You made my childhood so enriching, bless you 🤩
Frank Oz would go on to voice Yoda in 6 yrs
Which is why Yoda sounds like Grover
Not 6 years. More like 8. The character first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back, which was released in 1980 (much of which was shot in 1979).
And was inspired by Henson and Oz collaboration in the Dark Crystal with Lucas and creating the death scene from the Mystic, which was later on used in Episode 6 in a similar manner for Yoda‘s death.
The original muppets and Sesame street to me will always be better than the ones from today.
Wonderful trio...
I love Frank as Grover
I love Frank as Cookie Monster.
@@Obsessedwithcookies758
Same here.
My faves of him are as worn-out property managers in jail in Trading Places and the Blues Brothers.
Tickets to "LA Bo-heem..."
Dan Acroyd, "That's LA Bo-ehm."
"Scuse me..."
i've never seen jerry so young
RIP to Jim Henson Jerry Nelson and Caroll Spinney. The world is a happier place. 🙂
Wow, Cavett is still alive??
Sweet.
There was a certain look for puppeteers!
People say Jim sounds like Kermit but the moment Frank opened his mouth I heard a certain Jedi master!
Mace Windu?
@@joadbreslin5819 That's the one 🤔
I hear Bert.

1:14 Was that Big Bird's voice?
Yeah!
Yes Carroll spinney

Richard Alva Cavett

86 años. (87)
Frank Oz the voice of Yoda seated next to the original voice of Kermit. The great Jim Henson.
Best joke Oscar's ever made, there at the end.
They have worked together for so long through Sesame Street and the muppet show
George Lucas and Gary Kurtz wanted Henson himself to play Yoda, but he was too busy.
@@yosefdemby8792 Truth be told prior to watching this whole interview, I had no idea whatsoever that Oz and Henson worked together.
I miss Dick Cavett.
I'm a bit too young to realize how big ascots (the neck scarves on guys) were in early 70s/last 60s. Lol
these guys are so blitzed
mupet
Jim Henson looked a lot like Kris Kristofferson.
Now I want to see Big bird and Oscar in the same scene
His Missing Words On The Day Are Abschnitt, Trident, And Feldzuge
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason?
How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities.
Wait a minute…. We’re they lip syncing??
Love all the original characters. Sesame Street is a woke joke now
"A shadow of its former self"- Frank Oz
Sesame Street has always been inclusive with regards to race and ethnicity.
@@rebecca8525😆😆😆
It's a kid's show. Unlike morons like you, most kids welcome diversity and inclusion. It's not "woke" to be diverse
