Jarrod Fairclough – Just a few weeks back I wrote that it was a fact of life that everyone gets sick. Then I got a really bad dose of the flu, because apparently irony is funny to the medical gods. So it’s been an entire week since The Muppet Mindset has posted anything! And in that…
Jarrod Fairclough – Live Muppet events are always risky. At the Montreal Just For Laughs Gala a few years ago there were lip syncing issues and heads galore. Which is to be expected, of course, as a live event has far less preparation and more unexpected issues. But you wouldn’t think that watching The Electric Mayhem’s first…
Jarrod Fairclough – Last week fans flocked to San Diego for Comic Con, and all of us who weren’t there still got to nerd out by watching videos of the panels. On a recent YouTube binge, I came across a video from a few months ago of Adam Savage, who you may know from Mythbusters (or…
Jarrod Fairclough – 54 Below is a cabaret restaurant in New York City that often has shows dedicated to different artists, with a multitude of singers paying tribute. Last week a group of amazing singers got together and paid tribute to The Muppets. Besides Muppet performers Rick Lyon (with his pretend Kermit), Stephanie D’Abruzzo and Jennifer…
Jarrod Fairclough – Even though The Muppets was cancelled the other day, it seems like Disney still has some interest in keeping their franchise afloat. There’s the live Electric Mayhem concert in August, and on Saturday Kermit and Fozzie, as well as Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson and Peter Linz, appeared in a panel at Vulture Festival in New…
A few months back The Muppets released one of their viral videos, with The Electric Mayhem singing the Paul Simon song ‘Kodachrome‘. It was a great video, but the crowds on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit etc all said the same thing – It’s time for a live Electric Mayhem concert. And we all laughed at…
Last night Kermit the Frog appeared on Stephen the Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ to promote The Muppets which returns tonight at 8:30/7:30c on ABC. Kermit partook in the always hilarious ‘Big Questions with Even Bigger Stars’, which includes some little moments of improv by Steve Whitmire, and some fairly impressive puppetry skills. Take a look!
The other day, Entertainment Weekly released a short version of The Muppets scatting, beatboxing, and generally ‘Pitch Perfect’ing their old theme from The Muppet Show. It was going to go in the next News Update, but then they released a longer version, featuring a funny scene with Rizzo and Pepe. Interestingly, Pepe never appeared in that…
Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away. On my way to where the air is sweet! Can you tell me how to get, how to get HBO on my television? On Saturday, Sesame Street premiered its 46th season on HBO, with two back-to-back episodes in their new half hour format. They then proceeded to upload the…
If there’s anything we here at The Muppet Mindset support, it’s small businesses! Well, small businesses and Muppets. And now the two are teaming up! November 28th is Small Business Day, and American Express (a big small business) and The Muppets have teamed up to create a series of short ads promoting the very worthy…
