Season 3 Episode 23 Matt Evans

**S3 E23: Matt Evans**

**Generic Intro: Jim Henson's Characters**

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. Everyone knows that my father performed Kermit the Frog on The Super Show. But he also did a lot of other characters. He performed the Swedish Chef, Dr. Teeth, Rowlf the Dog, Waldorf & Link Hogthrob. Link Hogthrob is actually one voice that I remember very well. As a kid, whenever my dad did some stereotypical fatherly chore, like carving the Thanksgiving turkey, that would be the voice he would use. I guess when the character of this pompous, not-too-bright pig came along, he figured well that voice would fit just perfectly. See if you can tell which characters are my father's voices in this next episode of The Super Show.
