On Sesame Street, Kermit became a superstar. By now he was all frog. He had a collar, frog feet, and a pink tongue.

Some friends thought Jim was very much like Kermit, easygoing and good at running things.

Jim thought Kermit was sometimes bolder than he was. Jim thought he was more like Rowlf. Jim always operated Kermit himself. He sang Kermit’s song “Bein’ Green,” which became popular. It’s about how being green may seem unexciting but it’s really wonderful. Jim wanted all children to know they were wonderful, too.

Jim also played Ernie on Sesame Street and sang his hit song “Rubber Duckie.” Frank Oz played Bert, Ernie’s pal. Like Jim, Frank was shy about some things. For a while he was scared to do puppet voices. But on Sesame Street, he performed Bert, Grover, and Cookie Monster.

Jane and the Henson kids loved visiting the TV studio. Jim would take them out to lunch or for ice cream if he had time. Sometimes, the kids got to meet the guest star or even be in the show! When he was only six, Jim’s son Brian was in a skit about how buildings get made. He and two other kids were shown digging in a sandbox.
