The Spark File with Susan Blackwell and Laura Camien

Makers: Matt Vogel: Getting Booed, Becoming a Muppet, and Retaining Something That's Yours


Listen Later

This week on The Spark File, Susan and Laura curl up with the endlessly creative Matt Vogel. At Sesame Street and in his roles as Kermit the Frog and Big Bird, Matt utilizes his skills as an actor, puppeteer, songwriter, director, and so much more. He shares highlights from his creative journey from getting booed at the high school talent show to debuting triumphantly at the Hollywood Bowl. Matt remains inspired by Jim Henson's mantra to be in service of the best idea, and Kermit's guiding purpose of "making millions of people happy."

And he believes that you must always retain something that's yours.
