Nailed it he did, but isn't this how all people treated the muppets? My memories of the original shows were of celebrities working with the muppets just like their peers.

I don't remember the original series that well, but I do have a vague recollection of everyone 'buying into it' incredibly well, like you say. I guess it's a testament to the Muppeteers, too! I need to rewatch the recent - excellent - movies and do a comparison.
