Jack Vogel

Jack Vogel is a Muppet puppeteer and the son of Matt Vogel who has assisted his father several times since 2020. He was a credited puppeteer for The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II, assisting Kermit the Frog on banjo. Jack also received special thanks credit for projects, Elmo's Playdate and Muppets Now, both taped from the homes of the performers that same year. Vogel should be like Brian Henson, they both follow in their father's footsteps as puppeteers. Over the years, he served as either a right hand or assistant to his dad for a lot of live appearances, though it's unknown what at the moment. I hope that he will continue working with his father on more appearances virtual or in person, depending on when he's needed. However Jack Vogel is probably still in school and needs to get his education done before he can continue assisting his dad. Unlike Cheryl Henson and Brian Henson, he was a kid when he first started assisting his father but he's probably growing up now. When he's all grown up, he should be like his father and puppeteer for both the Muppets and Sesame Street either right handing or assisting. It is amazing that Jack was lucky enough to be selected to assist his father for many appearances. A few kids like Vogel had also assisted on the Muppets or Sesame Street like Jackson Barretta, Joey Rudman, and Phoebe Rudman. Tau Bennett however had to have several years of training before he got to work on Sesame Street for a while. He is going to have to keep on training before he can become a true Muppet performer or just remain a Muppet puppeteer like he is now. It's not going to be easy, but somehow that kid will manage. Jack Vogel, for a newcomer, you are doing a very splendid job helping your father. I hope that you will keep on assisting your dad for many appearances until you are ready to become a Muppet performer just like him. There's no telling when it will happen but eventually, it will. Until the day comes, keep getting educated and practicing Jack. Eventually, you'll be like your dad Vogel!

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...
