Interview with Muppet Performer Noel MacNeal

Today’s interview was conducted by the one and only British Correspondent (don’t leave just yet–it’s actually good). Yes, old TBC contacted me a few weeks ago telling me that he wrangled Muppeteer Noel MacNeal into doing an interview with us. Noel, as you might not know, is the man behind Bear from Bear in the…

The British Correspondent Interviews… Someone?

Hey there, Muppet fans. So a few weeks ago, The British Correspondent (yes, he’s still alive) sent me an email telling me that he had made contact with someone deeply ingrained in Jason Segel’s personal life–someone who is really hands-on in Jason’s career. This excited me, of course, and I immediately typed up a bunch…

Oscar Crosses the Pond

A Message From The British Correspondent Hello there, my young creatures of habit (and by habit, I mean, heading to The Muppet Mindset before breakfast, double-checking after lunch and then heading back after dinner just to be sure that a random new update hasn’t been added…and by creatures I mean…normal, sane beings). Anyway, I felt…

Muppets do NOT negotiate with pirates (except Rizzo)

Ahh-ha me hearties! If ye thought I be done with my notorious acts of blatant piracy and senseless reporting, ye be wrong…and I be…speaking in a farmer/pirate accent? Anyway, accent aside, I am still here and you are still reading from me, The British Correspondent. The way I see it, when Ryan gets back and…

Muppet Commentary Mondays

To Whom it may Concern (and frankly, if you are reading this website in the first place you probably have cause to be concerned), I am sending this letter, much like a message in a bottle, from an undisclosed water-based location (okay, it’s my bath, but that’s beside the point). The point is, I have…

Notes from The British Correspondent (or "Who Let Him Back In?")
