In 1994, she and the Muppet Workshop created a book to help children explore their imaginations by making puppets out of everyday objects.The Muppets Make Puppets, published by Workman Press, sold more than 100,000 copies. Henson spent much of the next two decades working in commercials, talk shows, and children's projects before realizing his dream of the Muppets as "entertainment for everybody". The popularity of his work on Sam and Friends in the late 1950s led to a series of guest appearances on network talk and variety shows. He appeared as a guest on many shows, including The Steve Allen Show, The Jack Paar Program, and The Ed Sullivan Show. (Sullivan introduced him as "Jim Newsom and his Puppets" on September 11, 1966.) These television broadcasts greatly increased his exposure, leading to hundreds of commercial appearances by Henson characters throughout the '60s.
Heather founded IBEX Puppetry in 2000, a multi-platform production company dedicated to promoting the fine art of puppetry in all of its mediums, honoring her work as well as puppetry artists nationally and internationally. Darlene Doris Henson, age 91, of Portland, Oregon passed away on Wednesday, November 23, 2022. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at for the Henson family. Our medium razor has slightly more blade exposure and a wider blade gap than the regular Henson AL13. Hailing from Troy, MI, Henson started his career at Classic Rock WCSX-FM in Detroit, and six years later, he headed to Detroit’s Sports Talk WDFN-AM as Director of Programming and Morning Show Host. In the early 2000’s, Henson moved to Detroit’s Talk WKRK-FM and created a ground-breaking hybrid FM ‘Hot Talk’ show, Motor City Middays, with Michelle McKormick.

Puppet Up! – Uncensored
FOX has since decided to not move forward with the spin-off, currently putting the series on hold. In 2016, Henson starred in the biographical drama film Hidden Figures, a major box-office success nominated for numerous awards, including three Oscars and two Golden Globes . It won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Among the most popular of Henson's commercials was a series for the local Wilkins Coffee company in Washington, D.C. Most of the Wilkins advertisements followed a similar formula. Two Muppets, in this case named Wilkins and Wontkins, would appear.

HENSON ALTERNATIVE
I love the art of acting, so I don't care if I'm in a movie with 10 people, two people, or by myself. I like to be home with my son, kickin' it and watching ESPN, a very normal life. I don't ever want to get boxed in, playing the same characters, over and over again. However, the design for the handle itself leaves a lot to be said, particularly for such an expensive handle. The relatively thin, straight, and short handle, is not ergonomic at all and makes the hand feel weird after a couple of minutes of use. Take a look how Harry's of even Gillette have the butt of the handle lager and bulged, so it has a better grip.
His exterior, and fine interior work, utilizing a wide range of materials; from wood, to metal, to stone, created rooms of exquisite embracing craftsmanship. At the time of his death, John Henson had owned and extensively developed many properties in Saugerties, New York. Cheryl served as a Vice President of The Jim Henson Company from 1992 until 2000.
Henson's idol Edgar Bergen died at age 75 during production of the film, and Henson dedicated it to his memory. Henson as Kermit sang "The Rainbow Connection", and it hit number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. The Henson-directed The Great Muppet Caper followed, and Henson decided to end the Muppet Show to concentrate on making films, though the Muppet characters continued to appear in TV movies and specials. Eleven Land of Gorch sketches were aired between October 1975 and January 1976 on NBC, with four additional appearances in March, April, May, and September 1976. Henson liked Lorne Michaels' work and wanted to be a part of it, but he ultimately concluded that "what we were trying to do and what his writers could write for it never gelled". The SNL writers were not comfortable writing for the characters, and they frequently disparaged Henson's creations; Michael O'Donoghue quipped, "I won't write for felt."
He was also a performer, working the marionette rig for Scooter’s bicycle ride. Talented in both areas and interested in the work of his father’s Creature Shop, Brian kept an eye out for other opportunities in fantasy film work. The film was not a Henson production, and allowed Brian to assemble his own team of animatronic performers that would go on to work with him on several projects, including Jim Henson’s fantasy classicLabyrinth. Brian served as puppet captain for the film while also performing the character Hoggle. Brian’s work both inside and outside the company during the 1980s allowed him to establish relationships on both the technical and performing sides of the business, giving him a strong foundation for his leadership role in the following decade.
Jim Henson's Creature Shop also continues to create characters and special effects for both Henson-related and outside projects. Steve Whitmire, who had joined the Muppets cast in 1978, began performing Kermit the Frog six months after Henson's death. He was dismissed from the cast in October 2016, and Matt Vogel succeeded him in the role of Kermit. His main life passion always returned him to his projects in Saugerties, New York. His many homes and buildings in Saugerties reflect his unique design aesthetic and his extraordinary attention to detail. Each of his buildings is an art project, an immersive experience balancing function with artistic expression.

"The Henson razor gave me a better result shaving than my old razor. I’ve realized that the “features” of my old razor aren’t needed to get a better result while spending a lot less money." The idea that a razor ought to be different for men and women is a bit of a marketing construct. We've tested our razor all over the human body and feel confident that everyone will get a good result. The unique head design includes exit channels designed to easily expel hair and shaving cream to ensure a clean shaving path for the blade. It's actually quite satisfying to watch all that gunk get flushed away so easily.
