Jack Jameson

Jack Jameson is a British director and producer who is known for working on numerous British children shows such as ChuckleVision, Topsy and Tim, and Teletubbies (reboot). He later served as a revolving director for Pajanimals and The Furchester Hotel (Season 1) prior to being tapped to direct for Sesame Street itself. Since the 47th season, Jack has directed many episodes, segments, and specials of the show including Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration special. In addition, Jameson also directed the spin-off show The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo during its first season, meaning talk-show. Earlier in his career, he was previously a floor assistant and additional puppeteer on The Hoobs, though he wasn't credited for that, along with other assistants. He wasn't the only person to be an uncredited puppeteer on The Hoobs, others have included Steven Kynman, Lynn Robertson Bruce, Andrew Spooner, and Andy Heath. It's almost like being a puppeteer eventually led to Jack Jameson to become the director/producer he is to this day, at least that's what I believe. Other series he directed besides the ones mentioned above include Big and Small, Pooch Mooch, Lovely Little Farm, and Malory Towers, to name a few. I'll bet he felt honored to be selected to be a current director for Sesame Street, even if it meant flying over to NY where the show was taped. Jack should be proud to work alongside such wonderful performers since he knew a few of them from doing The Furchester Hotel. Jameson even got to direct such great celebrities whenever they appeared on the set of the show. Until he got that podcast interview, nobody knew he can puppeteer as well as direct, even though he only did the former on The Hoobs. He'll probably continue to direct on Sesame Street for future seasons as well as on outside productions as well. Jack Jameson, I think you're a wonderful director and producer since you've done both for years. Keep on doing Sesame Street and other shows so that you'll be famous around children. With Sesame Street, Teletubbies, and more, you've really entertained children across the globe. A job well done Jack. Excellent Jameson!

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...

Claire Roi Harvey

Claire Roi Harvey is a puppeteer and performer whose only Henson Company show she ever worked on was The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I don't know why she hasn't performed in other Henson projects or even assisted the Muppets for Muppets Most Wanted. Clare has been a puppeteer for film, TV, theatre, and commercials. Outside of The Dark Crystal, she has worked on various other projects such as Feeling Better, three Star Wars films, and Doctor Who, to name a couple. She must have been pretty lucky to work with many creature/puppeteer teams bringing incredible characters to life. Harvey at least had a chance to perform with many Muppet puppeteers such as Damian Farrell, Brian Herring, Dave Chapman and many more. Claire is probably a pretty busy woman to perform in many productions either on-screen or on-stage that feature puppetry. She seems to be like most Muppet performers, and that's performing well with both children and adults for television and film. Harvey also does...
