I count things for a living. A couple times of year I throw out the number with and 'Ah, Ah, Ah' after it. It's always a hit.

Some of the characters Jerry Nelson performed:

-The Count
-Floyd (The Electric Mayhem)
-Robin
-Herry Monster
-The Amazing Mumford
-Sherlock Hemlock
-Mr. Snuffleupagus (1970s only)
-1/2 of the Two-Headed Monster
-Frazzle
-Dr. Julius Strangepork
-Lew Zealand
-Camilla
-Emmett Otter
-Gobo Fraggle
-Pa Gorg
-The Trash Heap
-The Muppet Show Announcer

An incredible talent and an absolutely extraordinary loss - he was one of the "big four" Muppet performers - alongside Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Richard Hunt. Only Frank Oz is still alive.

Apparently, they are phasing out the Rimbaldi stuff, which is my favorite part of the show. Iguess the Lena Olin contract issues HAVE been dealt with finally.
