THE HAT SQUAD: JERRY JUHL

We tip our hat to Jerry Juhl, who used to give voice to the Muppets but then found his calling in giving those Muppets something to say.

I can still remember searching out his name at the end of one of my first exposures to 'The Muppet Show', stoned-# er, "dazed and confused" - yeah, that's the ticket! - in my dorm room at UConn, and seeking out his name in the end credits; marvelling: "Who wrote this funny shit?"

That sense of anarchy at play for the Muppets may be copied, but it will never be equalled.
