with Kermit the Frog on Sep 26, 1994
Kermit the Frog is a Muppet and one of puppeteer Jim Henson’s most famous and beloved creations. Kermit was performed by Henson until his death in 1990. Since then, he has been performed by Steve Whitmire.
Kermit had his big break later in 1969 with frequent appearances on Sesame Street often as a news reporter interviewing nursery rhyme characters. One of his most memorable works was the song “Bein’ Green” from this series. Kermit’s song “The Rainbow Connection” was also a big hit from “The Muppet Movie” and, for some time, had become something of a signature song for The Jim Henson Company (it is also the only movie song sung by a “frog” to be nominated for an Academy Award).
