Revisiting this a year later. Does anyone have any new speculations as to who the understudies might be? Also, does Carroll even voice Big Bird or Oscar anymore? (I know Matt performs them)

Are Susan, Gordon, Luis, Bob, and Gina only credited for honorary purposes at this point? While I completely understand why they appear less frequently, I wish they at least appear occasionally as grandparent figures (minus Gina).

It sounds like Drew. For some reason, Victor was Fozzie on Muppets Ahoy, while Drew was Fozzie on Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken probably had nothing to do with understudies. I posted on the undersutdy forum the list of everybody who auditioned to be an understudy for the major Muppets (sourced...

I just messaged the person. Doubt they will reply though. Does anyone want to make a new series of videos that are updated?

I've also heard Michael Lisa's Creature Clones business is a rip-off, but he seems like a VERY talented actor

As does Michael Lisa; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIeQ4bMFbe4kIh54k9phZ1Q

David Stephens sounds like he fits in the Frank Oz/ Eric Jacobson vocal range as well;

I've also pondered as to why Ryan Dillon got Elmo over more established puppeteers such as John Tartaglia (who an old forum listed as the understudy) and Peter Linz (who had voiced Elmo on a theme park ride). Do you think when a character is fully recast that a completely new audition is held...

I also stumbled across this article from the Muppet Mindset; https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2010/12/28/interview-with-muppeteer-gabriel-velez/. It listed who auditioned at Disney to understudy for each of the main muppet characters Kermit-Artie Esposito, John Kennedy, Drew Massey, Gabriel...

I just found Andy Hayward's voice demos on his website; http://www.andyhayward.net/videos.html and he seems VERY talented with a VERY impressive vocal range. He does impressions of both Ernie and Bert (or Fozzie, can't even tell without visuals) on this. Additionally, he played Bear in Bear in...

According to Muppet Wiki, his name is Andy Hayward and he has worked with Sesame Workshop; http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Andy_Hayward. I wholeheartedly agree that he should be Eric's understudy and should be maybe even take over one of either Bert or Grover when Eric takes over Oscar, so Eric...

I had no idea Tyler Bunch did Cookie. You're probably right then

My guesses for understudies on Sesame Street -Grover (Paul McGinnis, as he performed him back at the '03 SW Gala) -Cookie Monster (Tyler Bunch, if not then Paul McGinnis) -Baby Bear (Paul McGinnis, as his speaking voice is similar to David's) -Grundgetta (Stephanie D'Abruzzo) -Telly (Tyler...

I'm guessing that the person Marty is training is either Tyler Bunch or Peter Linz. Any thoughts?

Apparently, Drew Massey voiced Gonzo for a few seconds in Robot Chicken. I wonder how he would do? Also, when Carroll moves on and Eric takes over for the Grouch, I have begun to think that at least one of Bert, Grover, and Guy Smiley will be reassigned. I'd like to see Guy Smiley reassigned...

That's not the original Roosevelt puppet, right?

I had a dream when I was little that Zoe was spearheading an effort to open a Kroger grocery store.

Was John Kennedy performing Kermit in those Robot Chicken appearances?

Since he barely spoke, I'm guessing it wasn't necessary for someone with Richard's vocal range (like David) to provide the puppetry with looping technology.

At the minimum, a lot of puppets were shared and recycled between the two.
