Muppets creator, the late Jim Henson, lends his incredible voice talents to Kermit and the Swedish Chef. Frank Oz
speaks for Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear, with veteran puppet designer Dave Goelz (Fraggle Rock) as the larynx
behind the Great Gonzo. The Muppet Show garnered eight Emmy® Awards during its 1976 to 1981 primetime run
on ABC-TV and produced a series of Muppet films including The Muppet Movie and The Muppets Take Manhattan.
Henson’s creative mind was also responsible for two non-Muppet Show related movies, The Dark Crystal and
Labyrinth.

Henson’s enormously successful career began in the 1950s with “Sam and Friends,” a late night TV show broadcast
in the Washington, D.C. area. Before unexpectedly passing away in 1990, Henson created characters for a variety
of TV programs—from “Sesame Street” to “Saturday Night Live”—and films such as Yoda from The Empire Strikes
