Pam Arciero, Tim Lagasse, Matt Vogel do Blue's Clues.

Well, puppeteers have to eat.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Yeah, did you think they just sit there holding puppets up for hours at a time or something?

I could live with that... thought after a while my arm would get tired.

""If you don't dig sore arms, don't work with puppets. I've got a solution. When my right arm gets sore, I go out to a court and shoot left-handed baskets. That gets my left arm sore."

Richard Hunt, 1979 Circus Weekly

This is really nothing new. Marty Robinson was doing work on Allegra's Window several years back on Nickelodeon, Kevin Clash, Alice Dinnean, etc. were working on The Puzzle Place on PBS, etc. They're freelance performers from what I understand. They get paychecks from Henson but I don't think any of them are sole employees of Sesame Workshop, and therefore are free to pursue other projects.
