The article doesn't say why he was let go, I wonder how he failed his duty as Kermit?

quote:

Whitmire continued to note that he was told by Muppets Studio executives in October 2016 that the role of Kermit would be recast. "I have offered multiple remedies to their two stated issues which had never been mentioned to me prior to that phone call. I wish that we could have sat down, looked each other in the eye, and discussed what was on their minds before they took such a drastic action," said, adding that he retained hope that Disney would "reverse their course" in the ensuing nine months. Ultimately, they did not.

What's even worse is that it was Cookie Monster doing the dirty deed.

What are you qualified to do after 25 years of being a voice of a fricking frog?

I can imitiate some voices pretty well, Kermit's is amongst them.

The thought of having to do that for a job for 27 years is numbing.

Hi ho everybody! Vomit the Frog here!

Given his relationship with Miss Piggy, I doubt it.

Pretty cold to can him over the phone after so many years. You'd think if the "two stated issues" were really that bad, he wouldn't be blogging about it.

However, saying he failed in his duty and offered multiple remedies to the issues kind of acknowledges he screwed up somehow.

Weird story.
