A global entertainment icon and beloved Mississippian explains the meaning of life.
Kermit the Frog is an entertainment icon known worldwide for his appearances on The Muppet Show and Sesame Street, as well as a number of feature films. He attributes much of his success to his thirty-five year partnership with Mississippi native and entertainment visionary, Jim Henson. Kermit has received many honors and accolades for his work, including multiple Academy Award nominations, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a commemorative stamp from the U.S. Postal Service.

@Michaeljefferson9000 4 жыл бұрын

They were laughing, but they either weren't mic'ed or (most likely) had their audio muted during the laughter so most of the sound from them we heard was coming from Kermit's mic. It was probably different being there, but while we're sitting here watching on KZfaq the editing is made to focus on the speaker so we're not as distracted by the audience. Contrast comedy shows, where the audience is mic'ed so a home audience can get a similar experience to being there with a crowd.

...and a year later they fired him. For generations of us, Whitmire *was* Kermit. There will always be originalists who miss Jim, and rightly so - but Steve did a great job of capturing his spirit and his overall sound, and Jim would have been proud. It is, of course, inevitable that Kermit's voice must change from time to time - the nature of an immortal muppet. But the original replacement was absolutely necessary after Jim left us so soon. Eventually corporate started taking Kermit in weird new directions with content that nobody liked, and needed a fall guy. You got to love how they pretended Whitmire had total creative control of the character, and that HE was the problem. As far as I'm concerned, Steve Whitmire was the voice of Jim Henson in those meetings where he clashed with the higher-ups and their writers, trying to keep Kermit where Jim would have wanted him, and they preferred to throw out the whole thing rather than listen. I'm sure Vogel is a good guy, but he sounds like a lazy coworker's impression of Kermit, both to people familiar with Henson AND Whitmire's character. Worst of all, his unnecessary replacement was a cynical executive decision simply so they could stray further from Jim's vision without pushback.

This video is absolutely inspirational. Everything he is saying is 100% true. I have a strong passion to create movies, to tell stories, to create. And when you make movies, you definitely need friends, because you're working as a team with the actors, producers, and cinematographers to help you tell your creative narrative. Creativity really does let you be a kid again. When you act, you're being a fool. But you're being a fool who can make others go through any emotion you want them to go through. Without creativity, where would we be? We don't need any of this to survive as a species, but we do it because it's fun, we're passionate about it. I will always remember that sentence: "not doing it is not an option." You truly are a great speaker, Kermit. Thank you. 😊

I know that he can't do it legally, but Kermit would make the greatest Green Lantern. And I'm a fan of all the versions.

Why am i not weird about a talking frog puppet!? Like he really is someone named Kermit, he really is a puppet and he really talks. I feel like if i ever saw the puppet i would expect him to move on his own. Damn Jim Henson u really found magic...

I've seen a lot of resources on creativity, but I have to say that this is one of the best collection of creative tips I've ever seen. Who knew that Kermit was such a good advice giver? I couldn't have gotten better advice than if it was from, say, an internationally acclaimed troupe of puppeteers.
