Rumb0 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 http://archive.is/E6Mmt Main excerpt from the article: Steve Whitmire, the puppeteer who was fired after 27 years as Kermit the Frog has said he is “devastated to have failed” Muppets founder and his mentor Jim Henson. Whitmire has been with the Muppets since 1978, and took over as Kermit after Henson died in 1990. He wrote an emotional blog post in response to his firing a day after it was made public. He said he was let go against his will, and would never have left voluntarily. “For me the Muppets are not just a job, or a career, or even a passion. They are a calling, an urgent, undeniable, impossible to resist way of life,” Whitmire wrote. “This is my life’s work since I was 19 years old. I feel that I am at the top of my game, and I want all of you who love the Muppets to know that I would never consider abandoning Kermit.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm curious how you can get fired for doing a job well for 27 years, but that's none of my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 When I first heard the story I was led to think he was retiring. I take it this is not a pedo situation like with Elmo. So what the hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumb0 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm willing to bet he's being forced into retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
