The Perils of Being a "Right Hand Man"...



That's Richard Hunt with his head in Jim Henson's armpit. He's probably best known as the performer behind Scooter and Statler, but I will best remember him as Sweetums.

Muppet trivia: In the first season of the Muppet Show, Richard Hunt shared the role of Miss Piggy with Frank Oz. He was also, for a time, the back end of Mr Snuggleupagus.

I recently learnt he was also Gladys the Cow, which just makes him extra cool, and Captain Vegetable, which puts him beyond cool. He's just a legend.
