  • Jerry Nelson's characters on The Muppet Show are, Crazy Harry, Floyd Pepper, Robin the Frog, (the nephew of Jim Henson's Kermit the Frog), Pops, Lew Zealand, Emily Bear (mother of Frank Oz's Fozzie Bear), Camilla the Chicken, & several others. It was he who originated the role of Statler to Jim Henson's Waldorf, but he soon passed it on to his very good friend Richard Hunt, with whom he was paired on several occasions. Then, after Hunt sadly passed away, Jerry became the new Statler.
  • Jerry Nelson (born July 10, 1934) started his puppeteering career with Jim Henson in 1970, as a puppeteer on Sesame Street. Nelson has performed as a principal puppeteer in numerous Muppet productions including The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and various films and specials. He is best know for such characters as Count von Count and Herry Monster on Sesame Street; Floyd Pepper and Robin the Frog on The Muppet Show; and Gobo Fraggle and Pa Gorg on Fraggle Rock. While Nelson did not puppeteer on The Dark Crystal, he provided the voices of skekSo (the dying emperor) and skekZok (the high priest).
  • Jerry Nelson (10 lipca 1934 - 23 sierpnia 2012) - był amerykańskim aktorem, lalkarzem (znany jest szczególnie z produkcji o Muppetach), muzykiem oraz piosenkarzem. Najbardziej rozpoznawalną rolą lalkarza jest Hrabia Liczyhrabia (ang. Count von Count) z Ulicy Sezamkowej, któremu głosu podkładał aż przez 40 lat (od 1972 do 2012 roku). Oprócz niego, jego głosem mówiły też inne postacie z programu: Sherlock Hemlock, The Amazing Mumford, Włochacz i pan Johnson.
  • On Sesame Street, Nelson's longest-running character was Count von Count, the counting vampire who took delight in counting anything he could. Nelson did the voice and puppetry for the Count from 1971 until 2004, and continued to provide the Count's voice until his death. On Fraggle Rock, he performed Gobo Fraggle, Pa Gorg, and Marjory the Trash Heap. Frank Oz did not perform on Fraggle Rock, and Jim Henson and Richard Hunt limited their time on the show, so they performed supporting characters. For this reason, Nelson was asked to perform Gobo, the central role on the show.
  • Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934 - August 23, 2012) was an American puppeteer, singer, and musician who started his career working for Bill Baird. Throughout the 1960s, he worked on-and-off with Jim Henson before officially joining Henson's company full-time in 1970, becoming one of the principal Muppet performers. His other Henson credits include Sesame Street (where he had performed Count von Count, Herry Monster, The Amazing Mumford, Mr. Johnson, Biff and more) and Fraggle Rock (where he performed Gobo Fraggle, Pa Gorg, Marjory the Trash Heap, the Architect Doozer, and others).
