	Muppet Central Articles - Tributes: Richard Hunt
		Hunt (or any of the other creative forces of the Henson team), for some strange reason, more than any of the other performers, there's something about Richard Hunt that makes me feel like I have known him well.
		Hunt died in 1992, when by this time, and to a greater extent every passing year, this attitude is demeaning, deplorable, and in all honesty, an insult to his life.
		Rather, the greater testimony to Hunt's life and accomplishments would be to let the character live on, to acknowledge that Richard created such a special being that's capable of outliving its performer, one the audience wants to see survive.

	SPEAKING OF DVDS: LISA HENSON, 'THE MUPPET SHOW'
		It was kind of a break from the Edgar Bergen idea where the puppeteer and the puppet were equally celebrities.
		All of the puppeteers were much more anonymous and had the kind of personalities where they were more quiet and less showy, and the characters were showy.
		And then because the puppeteer, Richard Hunt, had a beautiful singing voice, all of a sudden there were musical numbers starring Scooter.

		I saw that one puppet wasn't doing the same choreography as everybody else.
		I learned something very important that day: Find out who the puppeteer is before you open your mouth.

	The Muppets Summary
		The puppets are often molded or carved out of foam rubber, and then covered with fleece.
		The puppeteer typically holds the puppet above his head or in front of his body, with one hand operating the head and mouth and the other manipulating the hands and arms, either with two separate control rods or by "wearing" the hands like gloves.
		As technology has evolved, the Jim Henson team and other puppeteers have developed an enormous variety of means to operate puppets for film and television, including the use of suspended rigs, internal motors, remote radio control, and computer enhanced and superimposed images.

		In 1954, while still in high school, Jim began his television career performing puppets on a local Washington, DC Saturday morning program on WTOP-TV.
		Jim along with his assistant, fellow University of Maryland student and future wife, Jane Nebel, introduced many Muppet mainstays—music, snarky humor and innovative technical tricks (such as eliminating the puppet stage and using the television itself as the proscenium).
		In 1961, as Muppets", Inc. grew, Jim and Jane brought on puppeteer and writer Jerry Juhl, who would become one of Jim's major collaborators.

	ToughPigs
		Richard Hunt took a simple character (previously performed by Michael Earl Davis) and made his chronic short-term memory loss not only entertaining, but endearing.
		A good performance is crucial (being puppeteered by Jerry Nelson seems to be particularly useful), and it helps to have a gimmick that allows some room for variation.
		For starters, creating new shows through a new medium frees up the puppeteers and puppet makers to focus on the Street, rather than having to split up their time.

		As virtually anyone remotely familiar with American television knows, Jim Henson was the most popular children's entertainer of the 20th century, a gentle genius and master puppeteer who pulled off the rare feat of appealing to both children and adults with his combination of innocence and sly wit.
		Not only would Kermit grow to become Henson's flagship character, but his design was revolutionary for the time: his face was built of softer material than most puppets, allowing for greater expressiveness and nuance, and his limbs were moved with rods instead of marionette strings, which increased the range and precision of the puppet's gestures.
		All of this worked very smoothly with the new medium of television and its close-up views, and by the time Henson graduated from college in 1960, his characters were appearing on nationally televised variety shows (Steve Allen, Jack Paar, etc.) and the Today show, as well as in advertisements for a variety of clients.

		This is of course the famous “Good grief the comedians a bear!” sketch from the first season of The Muppet Show, often referred to as Fozzie’s best joke spot in the whole series.
		For one, it’s the first time Frank Oz sings as Miss Piggy (usually Richard Hunt, another puppeteer did it) and it’s the first time Miss Piggy ever got a solo.
		This was one of the biggest factors as to Frank Oz having Miss Piggy as his own character so you should all keep that in mind when you listen to it.

	In Muppets from Space, Everyone Can Hear You Scream
		After all, while Henson created the Muppets, their voices and personalities were formed over the years on “The Muppet Show” not just by Henson, but by Frank Oz, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz and a host of others.
		Henson is, of course, first a puppeteer, and this could be part of the problem.
		The puppeteer work is excellent, and the elaborate production numbers are real show-stoppers, so it’s obvious his efforts were more focused on the look of his creatures rather than such concepts are “treading new ground.”
