Catching Up With Miss Piggy and Kermit

  • 6 years ago
Brian Henson talks about growing up with stuffed siblings.

Question:
Who is your favorite Muppet?

Brian Henson: The Muppets were always sort of like my family
growing up
and I didn't really have favorites. 
Kermit the Frog was most similar to my dad when he was in playful
mood,
and of course, it was the most fun to be with my dad when he was in a
playful
mood.  So I would tend to say
Kermit was maybe my favorite character. 
But truthfully, they were all so a part of my life growing up
that it's
more like saying, who's your favorite brother or sister? 
You wouldn't really have an answer.

Question:
Do you think Miss Piggy and Kermit's marriage lasted?

Brian Henson:  I think it's
still in question as to whether they really ever got married.  They're one of those relationships, you
know?  They're going to be together
and they're going to be pulled apart, and I don't know.  Who
could live with Miss Piggy?  It's hard. Even for
Kermit, that's
hard. Recorded on April 8, 2010
