Gah! It's so frustrating cause these people provide no actual proof and logic dictates that they are lying, but the part of me that wants nothing but the best for Steve is making me worry anyway!:crazy::embarrassed::grouchy::grr:

Oh god, this is kind of frightening. Steve has been with The Muppets for over 20 years. I hope they're wrong, but it also makes perfect sense.

Why does it make sense? The Reddit guy said that Steve was fired from 'Henson'. Steve moved on from Henson over to Disney in 2004.

I saw that a few months ago! I don't know what to believe. Part of me doesn't believe it, but, then again, it would explain a lot - such as his departure from Sesame Street, the abrupt ending of the Pigs in Space web series although he had mentioned seven episodes were to be filmed, his apparent absence in Muppet Guys Talking, and the fact that none of his characters have appeared in the Thoughts of the Week Videos.

  • Steve left Sesame Street so that Ernie wouldn't have to compete with Steve's limited availability since The Muppets were getting busier and busier at the time.
  • The lack of Pigs in Space should be irrelevant to Steve's situation since he was there to shoot the actual skits.
  • For Muppet Guys Talking, there could be a variety of reasons why he wasn't there. Considering it was done 5 years ago, it has nothing to do with the past 7 months.
  • Thoughts of the Week was most likely done in New York or LA and could have been filmed months and months ago. Steve was probably in Atlanta because they didn't need him for a few short clips.

I think The Muppet Thoughts Of The Week were filmed in NY because, most if not all of the performers were ones that worked for both Sesame and The Muppets.

Eric, Matt, Peter, David...Yeah, you're right. If they had filmed them in LA, they would've asked Bill Barretta to join in.
