I can't unsee the fact that Jeff is the only one not wearing shoes that match the color of his Skivvy

The Wiggles were a godsend for my 1 year old (21 years ago!). The 1st thing that held her attention for more than 5 minutes. She watched whole episodes and we watched her in astonishment! The Wiggles are my heros. We took her, her baby sister, and 2 cousins to their concert in San Diego. 2004?? Still vivid in our memory. Now i watch with a new 1 year old! Had to adapt to the changes, but he immediately loved the Wiggles, too. Big Red Car starts to play and he comes running. Thanks for keeping it going. ❤

Love OG wiggles Greg and Jeff and Murray and Anthony

My kids are in their early to mid 30s now. The Wiggles had just begun when they were young and the reason why they connected so well with the children was because the Wiggles 'talked' to the children not 'at' them and their teacher training kicked in. The diversity of their first album songs did dumb down a bit for the second 'Big Red Car' far more commercial but the infants lapped it up. Emma was a huge plus: singer, dancer, musician, communicator, lovable and very bankable. Unfortunately, the push for diversity has been a case of quantity rather than quality and the production values a few years ago were poor. Thankfully the production has picked up but some of the current performers are not good singers or child communicators. Having watched hours and hours with my grandchildren I have seen the reincarnation of the Wiggles over the last 30+ years and seen the way the seven children have reacted.

thanks!!!!

They completely brushed over the Sam controversy here. I wonder if the original Fifth Wiggle, Phillip Wilcher, is given more than a passing mention.

[@Abridgimation]

Well yeah, it's not their fault his contract was running out and that everyone tried to turn that against them. Phillip left on his own free will too, so there's no reason to mention him

[@halwiseman9420]

@@Abridgimation Oh please, both of their departures were sketchy at best.

[@Abridgimation]

@@halwiseman9420 sure, if you take a liking to wearing tin foil hats

[@kbanghart]

​@@halwiseman9420can you explain more? I know that each side has their own opinion, but I'm sincerely interested in what happened.. sounds like his contract expired and he wasn't happy, that's understandable, but were they under any obligation to continue his employment with them?

[@halwiseman9420]

@@kbanghart For Phillip's departure, you're right as it was understandable. Although he played a part in working on their debut album and getting the group a deal with the ABC, he wasn't comfortable performing nor was on the same wavelength as the others. So after recording their second album, Anthony informed Phillip that he was no longer needed but allow him to write a letter of resignation. With that all said, Phillip did in fact left the group. On the other hand, Sam did not.

At 7:28 I thought at first the interviewer said "perfectly UNSAID" lol!!!

I remember the first time when I saw The Wiggles. I was seven years old and ever since they perform songs together as a musical group. All the way from Australia. I like The Wiggles growing up when I was a kid in 2000. I will definitely remember them after 23 years later. You rock the Wiggles.

Compare the Wiggles to Big Time Rush. They are both groups of 4 silly band members who are named after their own actors, using their same first names but different last names, and they perform different music genres too. The Wiggles is a children’s band whereas Big Time Rush is a pop band.

There’s an unconscious bias in editing of this interview. Every close up shot of the wiggles it cuts out Jeff. Even the interviewer brushes off anything he said.

[@kbanghart]

It's just camera placement, not intentional. And he doesn't get cut off.

[@peanuthowe]

Anthony. Very controlling.
