The following is a transcript of an exclusive press interview with Muppeteers Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobson in the backstage press tent . The video interview was posted on TVland . com for a limited time after the 2006 award ceremony , along with backstage interview conducted by Kermit . Steve Whitmire : I ' m Steve Whitmire , I ' m the performer who does Kermit the Frog Eric Jacobson : And I ' m Eric Jacobson , and I do Miss Piggy . Steve Whitmire : Each character is performed by a particular person . Jim Henson performed Kermit for 35 years before he passed away in 1990 . I ' ve been consistently the only Kermit since that time . Eric Jacobson : And with Frank Oz ' s characters , I ' ve been performing them since he ' s gone off to directing movies and such . Steve Whitmire : If you play my voice , next to Jim ' s voice , they are not the same – they are very close , and the attitude is very close . And because I had the experience of working with Jim very closely and knowing him , I think I gained some insight on where this character came from from within Jim . So the number one goal in trying to continue a character like Kermit is to make sure the character stayed true and consistent , but didn ' t become stale and just a copy . We wanted him to be able to grow a bit , but have this foundation of what Jim started . Steve Whitmire : We ' ve always been dubbed the Muppet performers . It involves acting and it involves the puppetry and , you know , all those skills combined – the voice is all part of that . Eric Jacobson : It ' s not like animation where the voice is something separate from the animators who animate the character . Steve Whitmire : We tend to think of the puppets as sort of tools . And we don ' t really think of them as living breathing things because obviously we don ' t take them home at night and stuff like that . Eric Jacobson : There ' s too much effort that ' s involved in bringing them to life to forget that they ' re not just , you know , tools of the trade . Eric Jacobson : I grew up watching the Muppets , and was a rabid fan myself and to carry on this legacy is really important to us .
