Kermit The Frog

Kermit the Frog is the most famous character in the Muppets franchise, created by Jim Henson. Introduced in 1955, he is a straight man who appears in the vast majority of Muppet productions. His most well-known appearance is as the protagonist of The Muppet Show, but he has also starred in a number of Muppet movies and specials, and has appeared as a regular on Sesame Street and in various public service announcements and animation projects. Kermit was originally puppeteered by Henson himself until his 1990 death, after which the role was turned over to Steve Whitmire, and most recently to Matt Vogel. The character is also known for his theme song, "Rainbow Connection," which reached No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
