Norma McKnight

Norma McKnight is a Canadian ventriloquist and comedienne who has done numerous performances around the world with her characters. She started off her career as principal puppeteer and writer on Lamb Chop's Play-Along where she worked with Shari Lewis and Pat Brymer. Since then, Norma did ventriloquism for millions of people on board cruise ships, at casinos, at festivals and even corporate events. If only McKnight would guest star on a Henson Company show or give Muppet-type puppetry a try. But that's just a suggestion, she can keep doing what makes her happy. I wonder if she sometimes remembers working with both Shari Lewis and her characters on Lamb Chop's Play Along, even after Lewis passed away in 1998. Though it's a pity Norma McKnight worked with very few puppeteers who worked with the Muppets or Fraggle Rock over the years. I have read that she appeared on Comedy Network's "Elvira Kurt's Adventures in Comedy" and was nominated "Entertainer of the Year" for the CEIA, but it's unknown what year that happened. She's still performing ventriloquism today though I wish I knew the names of her characters since nothing on the internet has sources. Norma has her own show named after her but no one knows for how long nor when it started. McKnight should reveal the names of her characters on her Facebook page so everyone will recognize them and what shows they appeared in. Not only that, but she should someday meet up with a Fraggle Rock performer and ask if there's a Henson Company project that could use a guest like her. It's just a thought though, it doesn't mean it will happen. Norma McKnight, you gave millions of people laughter whether you're in Canada or not, as in somewhere around the world. It's a shame though that you didn't win  the "Entertainer of the Year" award, but you're always be a winner on this blog. I hope you'll remember your first job with Shari Lewis. Keep performing Norma. Good luck and may all your days be humorous McKnight!
