Should we add a section to the article providing information on Kermit's character in Muppet babies? Eatspie ( talk) 21:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't think Kermit spoke at Henson's funeral. Steve Whitmire was not officially named as Henson's successor for Kermit until MUCH later, and his first appearance performing Kermit was in the special the Muppet did remembering Jim Henson. Can anyone give a cite for Kermit speaking at Henson's funeral (outside of a video retrospective or something of the sort)? I think whoever added that info is confusing Edgar Bergen's funeral with Henson's -- since Henson and Kermit did speak at that funeral. -prnyouth
I like Kermit the frog pictures. I don't have clue what he said. Or how he said it Kermit Just looks kool
I thought Brian Henson voiced Kermit now. The Jim Henson page lists someone else. Anyone certain of this? Did Kermit make any appearances before Sesame Street? -rmhermen
Yes, he did. I saw him on an old Ed Sullivan Show rerun. That crazy frog was on drugs or something. I don't know specifics, though. -- Stephen Gilbert
Brian Henson as Kermit is just a popular misconception. Steve Whitmire has taken over Kermit (and Ernie). Other lesser Henson-voiced characters are done by others, or have been retired (as happened to Scooter when his voice died of AIDS).
Kermit was the name (and recognizably the form, if somewhat different) of one of the character's in Sam and Friends -- he's been around in one way or another almost since Jim Henson starting abusing fabric on a professional basis. -- Paul Drye
Kermit the Frog was started as a link from Kermit (not the frog). How come it took this before people start creating the Kermit and Henson articles?
The universe is a big place and we have little brushes -- Paul Drye
Again, the specter of copyright violation rears its ugly head. :( As much as we love the picture of Kermit the Frog in his entry, I'm about 99% positive that it is *very* copyrighted. It should most likely be removed. Modemac
Copyright shouldn't be a problem here--it's quite clearly fair use. Trademark shouldn't apply here either. If it makes you happier, I'll replace this photo with one of my own stuffed Kermit so we won't have any issue with the copoyright on the original photo. -- LDC
It's not about making me happy...it's the fact that Kermit is licensed by Disney these days. And Disney is notorious for protecting its images, as anyone who follows the history of that company will tell you. (They even threatened to sue an elementary school that had Mickey Mouse painted on the wall. I wish I was kidding.) Modemac
I want to say that Lena Horne sang "t's Not Easy Being Green" with Kermit, I am going to have to dive into the record collection for this.
He returned to the Sesame Street newscasts in 2001.
Any relation to Kermit Jagger from the joke, do you think? -- JP Godfrey 17:34, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Kermit was on the Daily Show on May 31, 2004 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.143.229.87 ( talk • contribs) .
Kermit was on the re-pilot episode of Family Guy, September 10, 2006. Zchris87v 03:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC) -edit- Also on the following weeks' episode. Zchris87v 02:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
It should be noted that Kermit the Frog was named after Purdue philosophy professor Theodore Kermit Scott, a childhood friend of Jim Henson.
"The famous Muppet character, Kermit the Frog, was named for a professor of philosophy at Purdue University. Theodore Kermit Scott grew up in Leland, Miss., with Muppet creator Jim Henson, who borrowed Scott's middle name for his most famous creation." http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/pridepoints/970321.Points.pride.html Jason L 04:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Is that a part of frog anatomy? Or something he wears? Tpellman 00:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
sadkermit.com i saw a pretty funny video of kermit doing the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt, and then went to the site mentioned in the video and found like 4 other songs. im just curious if anyone knows if thats steve whitmire or some other person doing kermits voice.
I've added information about this as it's verifiable and relevant. It's certainly NOT vandalism. exolon 23:25, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Do we really need full plot summaries for them? Seems kinda ad-like, or at least drifting far off-topic for the page at hand. DMacks 16:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I just dropped most of the references, leaving Family Guy and Sad Kermit. I also left in Meet the Feebles, but I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it's accurate.-- SarekOfVulcan 17:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
There are also lesser citations. If three major newspapers have written articles about this, it's notable. exolon 20:44, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I put back the bit about Kermit's commencement speech at Southhampton not being a huge hit with the students. My source: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/FROG+AFICIONADOS+LEAP+TO+RESCUE+OF+VANISHING+CROAKERS-a083949593 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ruggles ( talk • contribs).
As per discussion above, this information now resides at Sad Kermit. Any additional information about this parody should be added to this article instead. 19:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
That section needs to be rewritten as it is "in universe". However there is some useful stuff in there, so it's best not to cut it out entirely. DJ Clayworth ( talk) 14:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I need to know who his mom is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.11.100.132 ( talk) 20:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I see that there has been a recent reassessment of the article and I think that it needs a few more improvements to reach this level. As such, I have reassessed it to Start class until the following can be addressed.
The article is broad in coverage, which meets the B-class criteria in this respect. Of course there is always room for expansion, so if possible, determine if there are other areas that are of importance to coverage of the topic. It may also be beneficial to see if there are any other related WikiProjects that can have their banners be added to this page as well as assist in improving the article further. At this time the article should remain at start class, and if a more comprehensive review is requested (and/or if you want me to help with a copyedit), please let me know on my talk page and I'll be happy to help out this weekend. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 23:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Did Henson name Kermit after Kermit Love perchance? 4.242.174.183 ( talk) 08:41, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
When Jim Henson died, there was an announcement that Kermit the Frog would be retired, since the two were essentially each other. I have never heard why this decision was reversed or whose decision it was. I would like to see that added to the article if someone knows. Victor Engel ( talk) 22:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know of the commercial where Kermit tells kids how to save energy, for example by turning of the light when leaving the room? Emptymountains ( talk) 19:18, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Or better yet, turn off the whole AKW! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.167.68.107 ( talk) 13:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
What happened to the Kermit at the Smithsonian museum image? Where did it go? trainfan01 19:27, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
I forgot to look back through history. I found the answer at [1]. trainfan01 18:54, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
There is more information about Kermit the Frog on Jim Henson page. Among other things there is mention that Kermit was based on Jim Henson only a bit more bolder than the creator. It might be smart to put this information in.-James Pandora Adams —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.168.148 ( talk) 21:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

There was some kind of TV movie, later made into a record in the very early 80s. All I remember was something about three cranky old men and a group of muppets had to deal with them. I think Kermit might have been in the show, but I can't recall. Does anyone remember the name of the work? - OberRanks ( talk) 13:19, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Kermit was created from a turquoise woman-size coat that Henson's mother had thrown into a waste bin. According to the French Wikipedia, Kermit was created from a coat that a friend of Henson's mother had thrown into the waste bin (Le prototype de Kermit fut créé à partir d'un manteau vert pour femme qu'une amie de la mère d'Henson avait jeté à la poubelle). So, which version is correct? --Mirrordor 16:56, 18 May 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrordor ( talk • contribs)
