Jim Henson was the closest thing to Walt Disney of his generation. Walt Disney brought joy to the audiences of 1920's to 1950's and beyond with the lovable characters of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, and Chip 'n Dale. Jim Henson did the same thing with all the countless Muppets from mid-50's forward. Jim Henson aspired to greater things, and if he had not died so soon, I think he would have achieved all his goals with the unstoppable pluck that true artists have.

"Giving away the secrets. Right there, folks!" And absolutely NO ONE cares. That's how real you are to us, Kermit.

That's a testament to Jim Henson's talent right there, specifically his talent at creating and playing likable and lively characters Kermit just openly acknowledged that he's operated by wires and even with that I STILL am able to take him seriously like he was a real live person... frog... frog person. The illusion is just too damn good!

Between Henson’s quick wit, Rivers looking at Kermit just about the whole time while speaking to him, & the fact that this is to promote LABYRINTH, just an 11/10 interview right here. May their memories be a blessing to all who knew or come to know them.

I just love how Jim was kind of shy, hiding behind his hand and speaking so softly.

That's just a testament of how brilliant Jim Henson was. The answers on the spot are brilliant and so authentic. Kermit seems so real and Jim just was Kermit. No modern take of Kermit, no matter how close the voice alone might be, come even close to his personality and wit. Jim Henson, noone can replace you!

Every time I see Jim Henson I'm just blown away. I can see his mouth move, I can see his hands move, but I still instantly forget that what ever muppet he's operating isn't real.

It's ridiculous how a good Jim Henson was. every interview with Kermit they are just talking to Kermit and Jim Henson is just there in the background making fun of it mimicking Kermit. But the subtle head nods the like leaning in to listen just like the facials it's so good.

Rest in peace Jim Henson to the greatest man puppetry

Jim keeping a G rating while she's demanding X or higher. Good thing the camera was fixed on Kermit.

It saddens me that both Joan Rivers and Jim Henson are no longer with us.

Darn, Jim looks like Steven Spilberg with that whole beard get up. And wow how he could stay in character well. I mean maybe he knew what they were suppose to talk about but she come of as asking him intensely so it had to have been prepared to get the most real reaction. And how much I try my eyes focus right on Kermit when he talks, can´t look at Jim, master puppeter.

What a freaking genius 😂. But the word sex coming from Kermit... Today's letter is S.. brought to you by Joan Rivers 😂

These interviews with Jim always make me a little sad- no matter what show he's the guest on, the host always quickly asks him to be Kermit/Rowlf/etc. They ask one or two questions to him for formality but then spend most of the time with the puppets. I get that's exciting, and I always love seeing Jim perform, but he's such an interesting and inspirational person on his own, it'd be nice to have seen more of just Jim himself!

It’s amazing how easily I’m convinced Kermit is real! Even know we can see all Jim working Kermit it’s so easy to fall into the fantasy! Henson was the master puppeteer!

2 amazing comedians. Well 3 if you count Kermit.

How easily Jim moves Kermit's viewpoint from felt thing to live frog

What an absolute treasure! The three of them!

I miss them both! Joan and Jim

Jim is a National / Worldwide treasure. He might be around but his platform will last forever. One of the greatest contributions you can give is that of yourself and the ability to bring people together for a rare moment of fondness.

Jim Henson is the best.

It was the ability to go so damn clever that made Henson a icon. Through his muppets he could trounce anyone.

I adore this lovely man !!! Thank you for everything Jim! Kermit is a huge part of my life he makes me laugh and happy but also emotional love you Kermit 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I'm assuming this could be Kermit's most embarrassing TV broadcast I ever had

In Germany Kermit was first known by Sesame Street and some years later as host of the muppet show. It was strange, that they changed the German voice actor, in the Muppet Show it was the same voice, who spoke Jerry Lewis.

Wow, Jim Henson! Thank you for your brilliance, you educating and your entertainment.

I remember Jim Henson he will be missed

what an absolutely delightful interview all around 🥰

I think this lady was in the Muppets Take Manhattan movie as the perfume saleswoman in the department store...

He must’ve been so uncomfortable trying to answer those questions in front of adults. It really shows how amazing he was at creating something that resonates with us regardless of age.

Wow. I've never heard Kermit The Frog and Jim Henson talk about sex. Well, the original Muppet Show wasn't just intended for kids. But now Disney bought it, and I'm turning 11, so I'm used to the more modern muppets (and the 2015 show).

Joan looked so good here!

5:59 I like that part.
