    This show was created 17 years ago. It's amazing how the original cast can still get together (virtually, or course) to do stuff like this!

    I love how nicky is just vibing in his bedroom with a pride flag, ballons and a suit singing and Rod is just slowly shaking and getting closer to the camera 😂😂😂

    I think the most impressive part about this is that either Rick or John has said that they couldn’t hear each other’s parts or see each other while filming this and it still came out so well

    I just keep watching this, but just noticed the difference on how the foam attached to the mouthplate in the two puppets. Rod has a much sharper lipline than Nicky.

      All of Rod is more angular than Nicky. That's a deliberate design choice. :)

      @@TheLyonPuppets now that I see it, it totally makes sense for the characters. It's just something subtle I hadn't noticed before and something to keep in mind as I dabble with building my own puppets. So thank you for making me more conscious of my own hobby.

      Peter Linz was in Avenue Q and he's Ernie now, Rick only filled in occasion for Jim Henson as Kermit, though he has assisted Jim with Ernie at certain points during his tenure on Sesame Street.

    Neato! I can't wait to set up a zoom meeting with Rick Lyon, John Tartaglia, Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Jennifer Barnhart so I can talk to them about my high school reunion and see if they can come perform there as Nicky, Rod and Lucy!
    Speaking of Lucy, do you think you should upload something that has to do with Lucy, performed by Jennifer Barnhart, Princeton, performed by John Tartaglia, and Kate Monster, performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo?
