5312 1636

Performing as Gonzo the Great, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Waldorf, Beauregard, and countless other Muppets for over 50 years, Dave Goelz has been working on this franchise since the beginning. He's one of two Muppet performers to have worked on all 8 Muppet theatrical releases, and his experience includes time with working other Muppets legends like Frank Oz and of course Jim Henson. Dave recently became an honorary Imagineer (recognized at Destination D23 2023) due to his years working on Disney Parks experiences.

In this podcast episode, I chat with Dave about his first 50 years with The Muppets, including his early fascinating with puppeteering, his work with The Muppets and Sesame Street, his Disney Parks projects, and beyond.
