Does Jim Henson ' s son perform Kermit the Frog ? After the death of Jim Henson in 1990 , some reports claimed that Jim Henson ' s son , Brian Henson , would be the one carrying on the character of Kermit the Frog . This was an incorrect assumption based partly on Brian ' s puppeteering experience and that he had taken on many of his father ' s business roles when he was named president , chairman , and chief executive officer of Jim Henson Productions . However , Brian Henson did not perform the character of Kermit the Frog after his father ' s passing . Over two decades after the passing of Jim Henson , many people still hold the sentimental notion that his son took over the role after his father ' s death . Despite this , it is in fact veteran Muppet performer Steve Whitmire who took over the role of Kermit in 1990 . Whitmire ' s first appearance as Kermit was in " The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson " and he continued to perform Kermit until his departure in 2017 . When asked in a 1991 interview about taking on the role of Kermit himself , Brian Henson replied : " It would be too emotional for me to try to do that . " Jane Henson reflected on the recasting of Kermit , in a 1990 interview : Whitmire commented on Henson ' s consideration of him performing Kermit saying : While other entertainers have continued the legendary characters originated by their parents ( such as Mallory Lewis taking over Lamb Chop following the death of her mother , Shari Lewis ) , Brian Henson did not inherit any of his father ' s characters ( with the exception of briefly performing the Newsman in 2001 ' s " The Muppet Show Live " ) . Jim Henson ' s Muppet characters were instead recast to other puppeteers — mainly Steve Whitmire ( Kermit , Ernie , Link and the Newsman ) and Bill Barretta ( Rowlf , Dr . Teeth , The Swedish Chef , and Mahna Mahna ) ; additionally , Dave Goelz has taken over the role of Waldorf and Eric Jacobson has taken on Guy Smiley .
