Talk:Kermit the Frog Impersonators

From Muppet Wiki

Fake "Kermit" on SNL

Would the "fake Kermit" that sang "Rainbow Connection" with Justin Timberlake qualify as an impersonator? Powers 22:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

No. We're only including impersonators within Muppet/Henson productions, not outside spoofs. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 22:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I suppose it says that right at the top, doesn't it. Whoops. =) Powers 14:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Who belongs?

Do these belong here: Rich Little, Mark Hamill, Danny Kaye, Kermit the Amoeba? -- Scott Scarecroe 04:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I would say things like Mark Hamill, yes - they belong here. Mark was doing an impersonation or imitation of Kermit. He was purposefully pretending to be Kermit. However Kermit the Protozoa was a character that was more of a parody or gag on Kermit. The protozoa was not acting like Kermit or pretending to be Kermit, it was just a being with a comically similar personality/look to Kermit. Lenny the Lizard in the Steve Martin episode could be seen this way too - a gag, not an impersonator. Just like Belinda and Betina in MCC aren't impersonating Piggy - they are parodies or plays on Piggy's character. -- BradFraggle 04:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

What about Doc Hooper in the Frog Suit in The Muppet Movie?--Pantalones 05:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

That wasn't really Kermit the Frog, it was just a frog, wasn't it? -- User:BradFraggle 00:52, February 24, 2006

Was Kermit the Pig any more of a Kermit impersonator than Kermit the Protozoa? -- Scott Scarecroe 21:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, he claimed to be Kermit when Cloris Leachman challenged him. He was trying to take Kermit's place. -- Danny Toughpigs 22:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
