Other journalists note his similarity to Edgar Bergen, the radio ventriloquist. Henson recalled hearing Bergen’s characters as a boy: “I tried to imagine how they all looked as they made their jokes, but I don’t remember ever thinking of them as one man and his puppets. To me, they were all human.”[49] While there is no doubt that Henson learned much about humor from Bergen, he also learned more. Perhaps listening to the radio is what taught Henson to be such a “visual thinker,” as is often said of him.

Henson spoke at Bergen’s funeral. His speech was described in the New York Times:

Certainly, Edgar Bergen’s work with Charlie and Mortimer was magic. Magic in the real sense. Something happened when Edgar spoke through Charlie—things were said that couldn’t be said by ordinary people … We of the Muppets, as well as many others, are continuing in his footsteps. We’re part of the cycle.”[50]
