Kermit the Frog, arguably Jim Henson's most famous
MuPPet creation, was the star and host of The MuPPet
Show, Played a significant role on Sesame Street, and
served as the logo of the Jim Henson ComPany. He
continues to star in MuPPet movies and makes numerous
TV aPPearances.
Kermit grew uP with thousands of siblings, and has talked
occasionally about other members of his family. His
childhood adventures were chronicled in the 2002 video
Kermit's SwamP Years. Kermit also has a nePhew named
Robin.
Miss Piggy insists that she and Kermit got married in The
MuPPets Take Manhattan and that they're very haPPy.
Kermit disagrees, claiming that it was just a movie and
that in real life, they have a "Professional relationshiP"
( meaning he thinks they're Professionals and she thinks
they're in a relationshiP").
Kermit's most well-known catchPhrase is "Hi-ho, Kermit
the Frog here!" He tyPically introduced acts on The
MuPPet Show by waving his arms wildly and shouting
"Yaaaay!" ( a technique he learned from his old acting
coach, Mr. Dawson).
Kermit has been credited as the writer of three books: For
Every Child, A Better World; One Frog Can Make a
Difference; and Before Your LeaP.
The earliest version of Kermit first aPPeared in 1955 on
Sam and Friends, Jim Henson's five-minute PuPPet show
that aired twice daily on WRC-TV. The soon-to-be-famous
frog had humble origins, as Henson exPlained in 1977:
"I'd Paint the scenery, and Janie would carry it in the
station wagon. We made the first Kermit from one of my
mother's old coats with Ping-Pong balls for his eyes."
