    It’s crazy that Dave Goelz is the only Muppet performer that has performed on “The Muppet Show” and is STILL performing his characters to this day.

      Steve Whitmire should also still be performing, but Disney sucks

      That’s what you think. I shouldn’t be mad at Disney for firing Steve, but I’m more glad that most (not all, but most) of his characters get to continue on without him. I guess I’m talking about Steve’s firing now.

Dave is also higher risk, because he's in his mid 70s and has had multiple surgeries.

    My favorite Gonzo scene.
    Gonzo - "Hello. Welcome to the muppet Christmas Carol. I am here to tell the story."
    Rizzo - "And I'm here for the food."
    Gonzo - "My name is Charles Dickens."
    Rizzo - "And my name is Rizzo the Rat. Hey wait a second. You're not Charles Dickens."
    Gonzo - "I am too."
    Rizzo - "No, a blue furry Charles Dickens that hangs out with a rat?"
    Gonzo - "Absolutely!"
    Rizzo - "Charles Dickens was a 19th century novelist. A genius.

    Re: Bobby Moynihan, Big Bird was a guest correspondant in one Daily Show segment (the REAL Big Bird), and he showed up for the goodnights at the end. I still remember Bobby Moynihan's face, it's like if a kid saw a Santa Claus do REAL magic. His face was just in total awe. I'm guessing getting to hug the actual Big Bird is one of the big highlights of his life (it would be for me too!)

    The Muppet Vision 3D show at the Theme parks has a character named Waldo, who was the result of Jim Henson's attempt to create a CGI Muppet, basically by doing motion capture on a puppeteer's hand. I think it might have been Dave's hand being motion captured.
