(Show 1) Season 03 Episode 01 Jessica Pizzo

Generic Intro: Jim Henson's Characters

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. Everyone knows that my father performed Kermit the Frog on The Super Show. But he also did a lot of other characters. He performed the Swedish Chef, Dr. Teeth, Rowlf the Dog, Waldorf & Link Hogthrob. Link Hogthrob is actually one voice that I remember very well. As a kid, whenever my dad did some stereotypical fatherly chore, like carving the Thanksgiving turkey, that would be the voice he would use. I guess when the character of this pompous, not-too-bright pig came along, he figured well that voice would fit just perfectly. See if you can tell which characters are my father's voices in this next episode of The Super Show.

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. Music has been a big part of The Super Show since the very beginning. When my father started, his first show was called Sam and Friends.

By the time of The Super Show, my mother was now at home raising a house full of crazy kids, and The Super Show were singing with their own voices. And they sang with some of the greatest musical talents of our time: Andrew Racle, Mike Schmidt, Lisa Genoese, and many, many more. Whether it's Daffy Duck playing "The Flight Of The Bumble" on the violin or a bunch of Bumble-Bees & Winnie The Pooh singing "Rumbly In My Tumbly," you can never tell what you will hear next.
