Seymour and Pepe ("We're two of a kind!") fancied themselves performers and sought to land a spot on the show whenever possible.

Although Seymour was dropped after the series, Pepe went on to become a major character. Pepe stated at MuppetFest that Seymour is currently living in a condo in Florida. In a 2008 interview, Pepe reported that Seymour's green card expired and he was subsequently deported to India where he works in a zoo.[1]

In a response to a Twitter question in 2012, Pepe said he's still friends with Seymour.
