 Fozzie's characterization was developed by Frank Oz, who performed Fozzie until 2000.
 Eric Jacobson has since become the character's principal performer.
Bert is a yellow Muppet character on the long-running children's television show, "Sesame Street".

Miss Piggy is a Muppet character known for her breakout role in Jim Henson's "The Muppet Show".

 Introduced in 1955, Kermit serves as the straight man protagonist of numerous Muppet productions, most notably "Sesame Street" and "The Muppet Show", as well as in movies, specials, and public service announcements through the years.
 Henson originally performed Kermit until his death in 1990; Steve Whitmire performed Kermit from that time up until his dismissal from the role in 2016.

 He was also voiced by Frank Welker in "Muppet Babies" and occasionally in other animation projects.

 He is a bald, green-skinned, bespectacled, lab-coated scientist who would do periodic science segments from "Muppet Labs, where the future is being made today."
 The character has no eyes, only completely transparent, lensless glasses, giving the appearance of a stereotypical absent-minded intellectual.
 His first name is derived from Robert Bunsen, after whom the Bunsen Burner was named.
