Terry Fator

Terry Fator is a ventriloquist, impressionist, singer, and comedian who is known for combining all of his talents into one. He is perhaps best known for being the winner of America's Got Talent during the second season where he performed an act with Kermit the Frog himself. Terry also has his own Kermit puppet in which he uses in some of his shows, telling jokes and singing Rainbow Connection. Fator's career got boosted following his big win on America's Got Talent, for he headlined shows in Las Vegas, initially at Mirage Las Vegas and currently New York-New York Hotel and Casino. It must have been a dream come true for him to do a song with the real Kermit the Frog, even listing the latter's creator Jim Henson as his biggest hero, surpassing Edger Bergan, Shari Lewis, and others. In addition to his own Kermit puppet, he also has three dummies: Winston the Impersonating Turtle, Johnny Vegas, and Walter T. Airedale. It seems to me that America's Got Talent made Terry Fator the hilarious performer he is to this day, it's no wonder he was chosen to headline Las Vegas shows. In addition to Kermit, he also met Miss Piggy (via video message), Animal, Beaker, and The Swedish Chef, the latter three as judges. He also made television appearances, published his own autobiography, and even lent his voice to Disney's Mickey Mouse shorts as a random character. Terry is still performing in Las Vegas today as mentioned above, and I'm sure he'll never forget the day he performed with Kermit and won. Fator should consider taking his act across the world so everyone will enjoy his comedic skills, ventriloquism performance, & singing chops. And who knows, maybe he'll serve as a role model to young people who are into comedy or ventriloquism, not to mention doing impressions. But no matter who gets influenced by him, no one can ever replace a guy who can combine ventriloquism with comedy and singing. Terry Fator, you're a true legend now since your win on America's Got Talent. Keep on performing so you will go down in history. You are definitely irreplaceable in Las Vegas. Magnificent work Terry. Viva la Fator!

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...
