Two words...Rick Lyon
Ernie still lives. His original performer, Jim Henson, died in 1990. Steve Whitmire is now his performer.
I cannot stress this enough, the only logical choice for an alternate Ernie would be Rick Lyon,not that I have anything against John Tartaglia, he's good and all, but Rick is the only other person besides Steve who can pull off a perfect Ernie impression, I mean listen to Nicky from Avenue Q and tell me you don't hear Ernie in there? Since Rick is busy building puppets and whatnot, he could probably just leave Lyon Puppets Inc. for a while and maybe come back to Sesame Street as a back-up performer for Ernie when Steve is sick, wants to spend time with his wife Melissa, or is just hungry and wants a sandwich or something. I could just imagine Steve saying "Rick, I don't want to do Ernie today, here you take him!" to which Rick would probably respond "Thanks Steve" BTW I think Rick's Ernie would probably work well with Eric or Frank's Bert, since it would sound more like Jim, that way the old-school viewers wouldn't complain about Ernie's new voice.
Ernie Kellermann is 6'.
According to the equations, Bert is 12, Ernie is 9.
