Kenny Miele
Kenny Miele is a puppeteer and puppet builder who is another guy that hasn't worked with the Muppets at all. Though he did work with two people who worked with the Muppets and that was Peter Baird and Olga Felgemacher. Kenny should have assisted the Muppets in The Muppets Take Manhattan during the wedding finale since there were over 50 puppets. Miele's main work as a puppeteer is being a member of Flexitoon. He and Peter did the puppetry of Grace for the Jukebox Band on Shining Time Station. He also assisted on KIDS-TV which is a show also made by Flexitoon. Kenny Miele also got to work with Disney's own Jonathan Freeman who is also a Flexitoon member and did many human characters on Sesame English. I'm guessing he was happier performing marionettes than Muppets since he didn't do any projects featuring them, though he did do Muppet-style puppets, sort of. He also worked within the Flexitoon Workshop on Shining Time Station, building the wooden rigging components of the Jukebox Band characters. Kenny is shown to be an expert on marionettes like Olga and Craig Marin when being with them. I really wish the Muppets would have seen how talented Miele is so they could let him assist them. I hope he is still alive today and is performing with Flexitoon on stage productions and such. And if he's not performing anymore, let's hope he'll remember how much fun he had as the Jukebox Band on Shining Time Station. Kenny Miele, you've done a great job both working on Shining Time Station and cooperating with Peter Baird on a character. I hope that you will meet the main Muppet performers one day and they'll let you assist them. Until then, stay cool and alive so that people will recognize you for who you are and what you've done in the past. And I hope you didn't mind sharing the role of a puppet and marionette mixture Kenny. You've impressed everyone in the Flexitoon team Miele!
