NBC and The Jim Henson Company Starting Talent Series for the Next TOP PUPPET

TV Muppets Top Puppet Jim Henson about 7 years agoby Mick Joest

NBC and The Jim Henson Company are creating a series that will seek out the next biggest puppet act in the world. Deadline says Top Puppet is being developed by producers behind The Voice and that former late night host Craig Ferguson will be a producer as well. The series is designed to be a one off, but if it's successful there will likely be more seasons.

I'm not sure how entertaining you can make a show about puppetry as even The Muppets are struggling to find their footing in the new millennium. After a having their series canceled by ABC you would imagine JHC would be trying another outlet outside of primetime network television...but that's none of my business.

Do you foresee yourself giving this show a shot?
