Remember how upset you were when you found out that Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog broke up for their now cancelled primetime series on ABC? Well today there is even more upsetting news coming out of The Muppets world. According to Tough Pigs, Steve Whitmore, who has voiced the amphibian since 1990, is no longer doing so.
No reason was given for his sudden departure after 27 years, but it is a sad day for all of us. If you think about it, most of grew up only knowing his voice coming out of Kermit. In a way part of our childhoods croaked with this news because we all grew up with Kermit.
Kermit is still part of The Muppets, he will now be voiced by Matt Vogel. His first appearance as Kermit will be next week in Muppets Thought of the Week.
