Martin talks about auditioning for the film in an interview:{{quote|The audition took place with [[Richard Hunt]] (he works the Muppet character '[[Scooter]]') and a room full of puppets. After looking over Martin's resume, Hunt asked him to choose a puppet and put it on. Then Hunt proceeded to interview the puppet, not Martin.
