From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Matthew J Vogel II (born October 6, 1970) has been a Muppet performer for the Jim Henson Company since the 1990s. On Sesame Street, Vogel served as the assistant puppeteer for Ernie, performing either one or both hands while Steve Whitmire performed the head and vocal. Eventually, Vogel's ability to mimic the sound and performance of Caroll Spinney's Big Bird was put to use. As of 2006, Vogel's primary performances as Big Bird are the "Journey to Ernie" segments. He's also taken over Jerry Nelson's characters, by the recommendation of Nelson himself. Vogel is, as of 2008, the voice of Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, Robin the Frog, & Camilla the Chicken. He has also taken over the puppetry of Jerry's most famous character, Count von Count, but Jerry is still providing the voice. Vogel performed the muppets that were used in Kenneth the Page's view of the world in the 30 Rock episode, "Apollo, Apollo."

It’s Christmastime at The Muppet Theater, and everyone is busy preparing for their annual holiday extravaganza. Gonzo on the other hand wants something new since they did lots of Christmas specials in the past, like a halloween special. Kermit disagrees and moves on with what they usually do. Suddenly, a blackout occurs and an unexpected guest arrives, Krampus, the evil demonic creature of the south. He came here uninvited because all of the Muppets have been naughty and brings a terrifying twist to the Christmas show with evil toys, skulls, and gingerbread monsters. And for the finale, he plans to punish the Muppets into the fiery pit! Who will save this show?
