Jerry Nelson
Jerry Nelson was involved with many early Jim Henson projects, including “Sesame Street” and “The Muppet Show.” He’s particularly proud of his work as The Count on “Sesame Street,” but ultimately wasn’t too disappointed to have to give up playing Snuffy when this clashed with work on “The Muppet Show” – in addition to being a logistical challenge to be on two sets at once, Nelson found that performing Snuffy put a lot of pressure on his back, leaving him in a lot of pain.
