OK, so far they've found several understudies to carry the following Muppets into the millenium:
Big Bird: Matt Vogel
Ernie and Kermit: Steve Whitmire
Grover: Eric Jacobsen (VERY good job)
Cookie Monster: David Rudman
Bert: Eric Jacobsen
but these Muppets haven't been spoken for yet:
Oscar and The Count.
I don't think anyone yet has got the voice for Oscar, but I think
Martin Robinson (Telly and Snuffy) can take over the Count. He's got a good singing voice and a voice close enough to Jerry Nelson's.
