Subject: Muppet Performer Jerry Nelson dies. 78! 78 Sensational Years! Ah-ha-ha-ha.

Written By: Doc Brown on 08/25/12 at 10:21 am

Sorry, children of the 70's and 80's. A little earlier this week, emphysema claimed the life of Muppetman Jerry Nelson, the voice behind The Count, Sherlock Hemlock, Floyd Pepper, Emmet Otter, and Gobo Fraggle(and those are just the ones I know of). 78 is far longer than Jim Henson or Richard Hunt made it, but that does not make this post any easier. The Muppets will continue as always, but Jerry will be missed. Whatever happens, The Show Must Go On.

Your Pal,
Doc

The Count was one of my favorites.

RIP Jerry Nelson, Count Von Count will continue to live on for years to come.  :\'(

I found in other articles that he was also the man behind Herry Monster, Robin, and Lew Zealand. Still...

No surprise to me he would take it the hardest. I think Jerry played The Count longer than any other Muppet.

Your Pal,
Doc

Great songs.

I didn't know he did the Delta commercial. I always liked that one.

I always wondered why they took a song and made it sound a bit like "Hava Nagila". ???
