Sesame Street , Special Sesame Street , Special was a pledge - drive special that first aired on PBS on March 7 , 1988 . It featured some new material as well as repeat segments from the show . When the special was released on video , the title was changed to " Put Down the Duckie " , and had a few other changes made , the most major change being the editing of an entire sequence where Kermit the Frog interviewed Oscar the Grouch about public television . Since that scene was meant to lead to a pledge break , and the video didn ' t have any pledge break , this entire sequence was cut . Several PBS stations repeated this special in 1994 during a pledge drive . The special was still called " Put Down the Duckie " and the Kermit and Oscar scene was present , but the " Sesame Street Special Report " was cut and replaced with an H . Ross Parrot sketch .

Yoda Yoda is a character from the " Star Wars " franchise , performed by Frank Oz . The character debuted as a puppet in the 1980 film " The Empire Strikes Back " , with Oz as voice and lead puppeteer , and Kathryn Mullen assisting . In an interview with Leonard Maltin , George Lucas discussed the creation of Yoda : Background . A popular misconception is that Yoda is a Muppet , based on the involvement of Oz , the character ' s existence as a puppet , vocal similarity to Oz ' portrayal of the Muppet Grover , and a false assumption that The Jim Henson Company ( or even Jim Henson himself ) built the character . However , had he been built by Henson , the more realistic Yoda would technically qualify as a creature rather than a Muppet . The Yoda puppet was originally designed and built by Stuart Freeborn for Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic . Henson merely consulted on the building of Yoda . A few other Henson veterans contributed to the character , such as Wendy Froud who assisted on construction , but their work on Yoda was under LucasFilm ' s employ . The creation of Yoda arose entirely independent of Henson , the only real connections being the loan of Oz and one or two other designers / assistants , and a slightly similar technology . Oz explained the character ' s creation in detail , during a 2000 interview with IGN FilmForce : Warwick Davis stood in as a double for the character in scenes where Yoda was walking in 1999 ' s " The Phantom Menace " . Frank Oz returned to perform the character on set , but the puppet was replaced with CGI in later home video releases ; the puppet was not used at all for " Attack of the Clones " and " Revenge of the Sith " , with Oz serving in a voice over role only . Oz returned again in 2015 for the 2017 release of " The Last Jedi " where Yoda was rebuilt using the original molds for the puppet from " The Empire Strikes Back " .
