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.

Awesome, awesome news, although I not exactly happy to see that the next batch of episodes won't start until early 2007. Come on, you are not the Sopranos guys.
