This week I welcome Muppeteer Caroll Spinney as my special guest to talk about his life on and off Sesame Street. Spinney has performed both Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on the show for 40 years, the entire run of the show. Naturally that gives us plenty to talk about, and I know you’re going to enjoy our conversation.
Also, make sure to vote for the Center for Puppetry Arts in the Nickelodeon Parents’ Poll! You can give them your vote for Best Atlanta Theatre Group for Kids, Best Atlanta Tourist Spot, and Best Atlanta Museum. You can vote daily. Winning in any or all of these categories means a lot for the Center, and will help them achieve their goal of a dedicated Jim Henson wing to their new facility!
Questions/Comments about the Muppets or The MuppetCast can be emailed to me@muppetcast.com, or called in to the voicemail line at 614-364-4270. Even better, stop by the Muppet Central Forums and discuss this and many other episodes with Muppet fans worldwide. Follow the show on Twitter and join the Facebook page too!
Have a great week!
