Former Kermit Voice Warns the Frog’s Legacy May Fade Under Disney

Former Kermit voice Steve Whitmire argues in a lengthy blog that Kermit risks losing Jim Henson’s essence under Disney, claiming the frog’s days may be numbered; he cites past disagreements and his 2016 firing, while Matt Vogel has since performed Kermit and a 2026 Muppet Show special could spark a revival, though Whitmire questions whether a true Kermit can exist without Jim’s influence.
