Spencer Lott

Spencer Lott is a puppeteer, director, and puppet creator who has worked on Sesame Street and their variety of projects since 2014. He assisted on select episodes of the 46th Season didn't receive credit until its 49th season. But Spencer's first on-screen credit for Sesame Street was seen in the special Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas as an assistant. Lott was soon given a speaking role, starting with the letter K in a Sesame Street in Communities video before receiving a further speaking role. In 2019, he got the role of Julia's big brother Samuel in autism-related projects and later on the show properly in its 51st season. His website says that he also did a cabbage named Kyle, but it doesn't say when. Spencer Lott has also assisted the Muppets and Fraggle Rock during their Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade appearances. Outside of Sesame Street, he puppeteered on Helpsters and did the Fred Rogers biopic called A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Not only was he lead puppeteer, but he designed and built replica puppets of the characters from the original series. Spencer also designed and built puppets for various theater shows, music videos, and even a film called The Relationship. But what Sesame Street doesn't know is that Lott is also a director for theater. He directed and written various theater shows created exclusively for the Jim Henson Foundation Puppetry Residency at the O'Neill Theater Center with Elizabeth Hara. He has been paired with Stacey Gordon, Kathleen Kim, Ryan Dillon, and Peter Linz, as well as others on Sesame Street. Spencer Lott, you should be proud to work on Sesame Street and assisting the Muppets for their Thanksgiving Day Parade appearance in 2016. Keep working on Sesame Street and you'll be recognized with your Samuel character. Great job Spencer. Cool Lott!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
