Mallory Lewis

Mallory Lewis is a ventriloquist, puppeteer, writer, producer, and the daughter of Shari Lewis. She is most well known for taking over the role of Lamb Chop after her mother died in 1998. In 2003, Mallory appeared in the Pittsburgh Puppet Conference featuring Grover and Fozzie Bear. Lewis must have been lucky to work with Eric Jacobson who is a Muppet performer. She has also produced for her mother on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza, which got awards. Apart from playing Lamb Chop, she is also a writer of children's books, some that star a baby orangutan character named Zoey, who she also puppeteers. I just wish Mallory Lewis would guest star on Sesame Street like her mother, since she met Grover at the 2003 Puppet Conference. I read that she performs extensively for military support organizations, state fairs around the country, and performing arts centers. I wonder if she felt weird being the producer for her mom when she was still alive because it's extremely rare that the child would be the producer of their parents on TV. It's too bad Mallory didn't take over the roles of Charlie Horse, because she said that his voice was hard on her vocal chords. However, Lewis did play Hush Puppy one time at the Iowa State Fair in 2010. She's hoping that one day she'll put Lamb Chop back on television, since she still has the right to perform Lamb Chop live. Maybe Lamb Chop will be on TV again, she just has to keep her spirits high. Mallory Lewis, your mother would have been very proud of you for being the new Lamb Chop. I hope that you do bring Lamb Chop back on TV someday because, kids might have forgotten all about her, so bringing her back will give new memories. As long as you keep playing her, you'll have your chance. Until then, well done Mallory. Be sweet Lewis!
