Talk:First and Last

From Muppet Wiki

I recently saw the cover of a Sesame Street book, I forget the title (there is a thread at Muppet Central about Sesame Street clips at www.youtube.com where someone posted a picture of this book), which had a behind-the-scenes picture of this sketch on the cover. I saw caroll Spinney performing two monsters on the cover, so I listed him as the performer, but I can't tell who performed Beautiful Day Monster. He was performed by some woman performer, my guess is Jane Henson, but I don't know for sure. --Minor muppetz 18:21, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Good find! It didn't even dawn on me that this sketch was the one on the cover of Sesame Street and the Reform of Children's Television, but it sure is! I posted the behind the scenes picture in the article. I too am not sure who the performer on Beautiful Day Monster is ... anyone?

Also does anyone have more information on the 1980s version (a year, fuller cast/crew...). Thanks. -- BradFraggle 19:07, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I think the woman in that picture is Caroly Wilcox, who was an assistant puppeteer at the time. I don't think she did any voices though.--MuppetVJ 19:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, the captions inside the book identify the performer as Caroly Wilcox, though they also misidentify Caroll Spinney as Jerry Nelson! Still, the image of Wilcox matches other pictures of her (including one of her assisting as Ernie's hand which floats around a lot, from an unidentified sketch which oddly features not only Bert and Ernie, but both Count von Count *and* Sully, unless they were all goofing off in front of the camera, which is unlikely.). --Andrew, Aleal 00:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
