Jackie Harris

Jackie Harris (Greenberg) is an actress, voice actress, and suit performer whose only known work with puppets was on the first two seasons of The Big Comfy Couch, before Suzanne Merriam took over. As for her other projects she was mostly either acting or voice acting. Jackie did however perform with two Muppet Puppeteers on The Big Comfy Couch, Jani Lauzon and Fred Stinson. Harris has acted in a lot of projects such as Where My Dogs At?, Open Season (1995), and Bat Thumb, to name a few. Voice acting credits include As Told By Ginger, All Grown Up!, and The Wild Thornberrys, all three shows are by the company Klasky Csupo. Though it's a shame she never acted or voice acted in any animated projects created by the Henson Company such as Dinosaur Train. I've read that Jackie Harris was also a member of The Groundlings which featured many puppeteers that worked with the Henson Company over the years. Performers such as Brian Clark, Ian Petrella, Karen Maruyama, and Melissa Roja, but it is unlikely that she ever met them during her time. According to IMDb, The Big Comfy Couch was the first project she performed in and the only time she did a costume role. If only Jackie would meet Jani Lauzon or Fred Stinson again and maybe catch up on things. Perhaps then Harris would have a chance to work on a future Henson Company project. But if she happier acting on-screen and voice acting off-screen, then she should remain doing those two things. Just as long as she keeps herself busy doing the things she loves, that's all that matters. Jackie Harris, if it wasn't for The Big Comfy Couch, you would not become the performer you currently are. Keep up the great work and you'll be a real star. As Told By Ginger will always be your best known project to my knowledge. Well done Jackie. Cool Harris!

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...
