Time to kick off the holiday season here on The MuppetCast! This week we replay the Muppet spots from this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (including the all-new Sesame Street song), and then bring in the season with lots and lots of Muppet Christmas music. (more…)

Show #181 – November 7, 2010
This week I’m joined by Ryan Dosier, Ryan Roe, and Joe Hennes (from The Muppet Mindset and ToughPigs.com) as we cover the news and generally do whatever it is we do around here. Enjoy!
Nicholas Lemon also joins me as we discuss his exciting upcoming puppet performance of his famous “Weird Al” medley!
