Jim Henson, Whats My Line? 1974

Jim Henson appeared with Kermit on November 16, 1974. The panel consisted of Arlene Francis, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Jack Cassidy, and Soupy Sales. The following Mystery Guest was Dick Cavett

I love how Soupy Sales said hello to Kermit. It just goes to show how real the Muppets are to people. I said it before, and I'll say it a million times. Jim Henson was a genius.

Thank you for this rare and incredible video! Jim was an extraordinary man and ahead of his time. Too bad it was so short. Men Don’t look after themselves when they’re so busy all the time. He cared more about others than himself!

[@booberfraggle]

As well as Jerry Nelson

[@DreamDancer82]

Jim Henson was a genius, and he died way too soon.

[@stevarino1989]

I agree :(

[@mesquitegirl2013]

agreed

[@daveyhouston]

Thanks to being s christian scientist he refused to take care of himself and see a doctor I am so angry at him I am way older than he was when he died . I remember the first episode I watched it till 2014 believe it or not no shame here

[@chanbear2005]

​@@daveyhouston Are you sure you're talking about Jim?

[@NMarsden]

@@chanbear2005 No he is not!

[@mevb]

It was smart of Jim to do completely different voices for Kermit, as the regular Kermit voice would be too recognizible and give it away.

[@tysargent9647]

But it is awfully startling to hear Kermit speak with a voice other than the one that millions of people are familiar with.

[@francesnorred944]

THis is Soo SAD== EVeryone is Gone---Who would have known in 1974....

[@WWChampion16]

Jim talks about developing on what would be the Muppet Show.

[@braznartn5176]

Really loved it.

[@jccw227]

I always kinda liked Kermit with a double collar for some reason

[@WWChampion16]

They should do a movie biography of Jim Henson.

[@derekcamilleri8]

Rainbow Dash 4Ever i agree

[@JosephScarbrough]

Someone wrote a script for a biopic several years ago, and some of it was leaked online, but it was quite disrespectful and made Jim seem like he was losing his sanity near the end of his life and hallucinating about the Muppets coming to life and haunting him. There was fan backlash, so the project was shot down.

[@Channel-rh7lh]

Rainbow Dash 4Ever they did a TV one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5fLl3qcgtRpbJo

[@mesquitegirl2013]

yes please

[@CarlosHernandez-jv6wk]

I don't know if you came across it, but a KZbin channel called Defunctland did a 4-part series on Jim Henson. It was VERY well done.

[@harrickvharrick3957]

Thank you, for uploading!

[@LaRay82]

Wowow, goosebumps!

[@DakariKingMykan]

And to think... Sesame Street's WHAT'S MY PART is based off of this

[@caspercain2533]

Bennet Snerf wasn't part of this one! But we did have Arlene Frantic. Why wasn't Soupy Sales on Sesame Street?

[@applemask]

"The beard was the hardest part."

[@mesquitegirl2013]

yes

[@taubennett]

I've been looking for this forever. Where do you find all these rare videos?

[@Swampzoid]

[@__babyface]

kermit voice is weird here

[@freddyrichards878]

Ken Hill nah, Jim was just joking about here

[@__babyface]

Freddy Richards joking.???

[@damonika09]

Ken Hill well considering Kermit is very recognizable at this point, he HAD to disguise his voice.

[@RossStern]

It was common for guests on this show to disguise their voices
