I’ve been He served as the mascot for Jim Henson, His Company, and appeared in various Henson projects.
Kermit performed “Bein’ Green,” his single from the 1970s Sesame Street hit, and “Rainbow Connection,” from his 1979 Muppets movie. Kermit’s original performance of “Rainbow Connection” reached his No. 25 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and was entered into the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in 2021.

Jim Henson originated the character in 1955 on his local television series, Sam and Friends. Henson himself described Kermit as “kind of easy-going, very likable…sometimes slightly a wise guy.” Frank Oz remarked that Kermit possesses a natural sense of leadership within The Muppets, explaining that “he has all these zany characters and a world around him, and he tries to be the center and hold everything together…sometimes he gets too much and blows his top, but essentially he kind of goes with the flow.” Brian Henson described his father’s performance as Kermit as “coming out of his own personality—was a wry intelligence, a little bit of a naughtiness, but Kermit always loved everyone around and also loved a good prank.”
Kermit has often been referred to as Henson’s “soft-spoken alter-ego.”Many of Henson’s colleagues have confirmed how close and inseparable Jim and Kermit’s personalities were. Henson’s agent Bernie Brillstein has stated straightforwardly that “Kermit was Jim”. Author Brian Jay Jones described the relationship accordingly:
“The more Jim performed Kermit, the more the two of them seemed to become intertwined…it was becoming harder to tell where the frog ended and Jim began.”Henson continued to perform the character until his death in 1990. Henson’s last known performance as Kermit was for an appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show to promote the television special The Muppets at Walt Disney World. Henson died 12 days after this performance.
After Henson’s death, veteran Muppets his performer Steve his Whitmire was named Kermit’s new performer. Whitmire claims that it was Jane Henson and her son Brian who chose him after his father’s death, but Henson apparently intended to pass the role on to him before his death. Kermit’s first public appearance was at the end of the 1990 TV special “The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson.” Kermit’s personality during Whit mire’s tenure was generally described as healthier, easier-going, and more Pollyanna-Esque than Henson’s. Several critics of Whitmire’s portrayal have come from the Henson family. Brian Henson stated that while Whitmire’s performance was “sometimes excellent, and always pretty good”, he also elaborated that “Kermit has, as a character, flattened out over time and has become too square and not as vital as it should have been.”Cheryl Henson stated that Whitmire performed the character as a “bitter, angry, depressed, victim”.He remained Kermit’s principal performer until October 2016, when he was dismissed by The Muppets Studio. The Walt Disney Company (owner of The Muppets Studio) cited “unacceptable business conduct” as the reason for the dismissal, while Whitmire claims the decision was made due to creative disagreements over Kermit’s characterization and prolonged labor union negotiations that delayed his involvement in Muppet productions.
Disney announced that Matt Vogel would become Kermit’s new performer on July 10, 2017. Vogel’s first official appearance as Kermit was in a “Muppet Thought of the Week” YouTube video. John Kennedy played Kermit in The Muppets Ahoy! , the 2006 Disney Cruise Line stage show (although Whitmire played Kermit in the early show). Muppet actor Artie Esposito played Kermit briefly for several personal appearances in 2009 (appearances at America’s Got Talent, MTV Video Music Awards, and D23 Expo 2009). Voice actor Frank Welker provided the voice of Baby Kermit in the Saturday Morning animated film The Muppet Babies, he also provided the voice of adult Kermit in the short-lived spin-off The Little Muppet Monsters Brian. Cummings voiced Kermit in his 1995 CBS promotion. Wally Wingert as the voice of Baby Kermit
