1. Who are your three favorite characters from The Muppet Show, Muppets Tonight, The Jim Henson Hour, the Muppet movies, etc. and why? Kermit because he's the guy everyone loved on their childhoods. Next Fozzie, because I like his jokes more than any other Muppet. Last Walter because we both are BIG Muppet fans.

First Kermit because I grew up with him for years. Next Elmo because he's cute. Last Telly because purple was my high school color.

4. What is your favorite television program starring any of Jim Henson's creations (e.g. The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Dinosaurs, etc.) and why?
I'll go with Sesame Street because the characters are cool, and it made me feel good about myself.
5. What is your favorite Muppet movie and why?My three favorite Muppet films, in no real order, are The Great Muppet Caper because of the bike scene, The Muppet Christmas Carol because it stays true to the book, and The Muppet Movie because it's classic.

My favorite Muppet song is "Cabin Fever" from Muppet Treasure Island because it's fun to dance to.

I'd hang out with Steve Whitmire because when you hear him as Kermit, you feel like there's something special in the room.

Grover would be great as a Disney animator.
12. In your opinion, what is the worst Muppet production ever made?

I know it won't happen, but I want to see American Idol finalist & Dove Award winner Colton Dixon in a new Muppet movie. He's pretty good, you should listen to him.
