From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Eric Jacobson (b. July 25, 1970) is a puppeteer and Muppet performer, who has been the primary replacement puppeteer for Frank Oz's characters since 2001. Jacobson initially started playing Bert in 1997, but officially joined the cast as Bert and additional Muppets in 2000. His role expanded in 2002 to include new Grover segments, particularly Global Grover. In 2001 he and David Rudman played Cookie Monster until 2002 when Sesame Workshop chose David as Cookie so there would be more interaction between Bert/Grover and Cookie Monster. His second role came in 2001 with The Book of Pooh, where he worked on Piglet and Kanga. That year, he also began playing Miss Piggy, debuting at the "Muppetfest" convention. Subsequently, in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002), he performed the roles of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal. In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005) he performed all of these characters, as well as Sam the Eagle. Jacobson currently is a puppeteer for many Muppet productions, for Sesame Street, and Play with Me Sesame (2002 on). Jacobson appeared as the Little Bad Wolf in the pilot episode of Jack's Big Music Show.

Bert and Ernie have been and always will be my favorite characters on Sesame Street. Their chemistry is unmatched, comedic and timeless. That's why I thought it would've been cool if these two characters had a spin off of their own. The Bert and Ernie Show is a spinoff starring both Bert and Ernie tackling life situations with comedic results. It will be filmed in the same studio which will have the material taped with no audience. It will then be played in a theatre so it gives the illusion that the show was filmed in front of a live audience. The show's rating will be TV - PG only due to discretion. It's final episode will be in late March of 2010 because the people behind it want to move on to bigger and better things.
