Well ...not exactly.

Jim Henson had been doing puppetry for some time before Sesame Street started; he had had a short sketch comedy show with puppets ("Sam and Friends") on TV, and had done a number of commercials for Wilkins Coffee with a puppet (named "Wilkins") that somewhat resembled Kermit the Frog without the "collar"/neck frill. He had settled on the name "muppets" for his style of puppets and created a company named "Muppets Inc." by 1958, over 10 years before Sesame Street premiered. Wilkins (along with his co-star "Wontkins") and Rowlf the Dog, who appeared on the Jimmy Dean Show, were the most famous Muppets from this era.

In the 1960s, he met some of the founders of Sesame Street and decided to form a partnership with Children's Television Workshop; the basic agreement was that Henson would perform on the show at no fee, but would retain the rights to the Muppets used on the show, and CTW and Henson would split any revenue generated by them.

So, the Muppets existed before Sesame Street, but once Sesame Street premiered, for years the most well-known Muppets were those that appeared on Sesame Street. Most of the Sesame Street Muppets were created specifically for the show (Rowlf did appear on one segment, and "Wilkins" became "Kermit the Frog", with changes to make him more frog-like).

In the 1970s Henson did some sketches for Saturday Night Live featuring completely different (and frankly very weird) characters, and then started The Muppet Show with MOSTLY new characters.

two reasons:

1) He is a fairytale creature and the people who made the movie thought he looked best that color.

2) He is a made up swamp creature, and most made up swamp creatures are green for some reason. probably to blend in with the algae and slime.

If you are referring to Animal, his voice is played by Frank Oz who also plays Miss Piggy among others.

No,Kermit the frog is not real because if he was real he would have been a real frog and not be able to sstand up that high and he wouldd have alot of fur!

False - He first appeared on Sam and Friends in 1955

The Muppet Show first aired on 5 September 1976 in the United Kingdom, and then September 27, 1976 in the United States.

In the late 90s, the question was posed in the Ask Henson.com web column. Dave Goelz responded: "Nobody knows except perhaps his parents, and they're not talking. It was always one of those taboo subjects around the dinner table."

According to Elmo, he gets paid by the Elmo.

Ben 'Bugs' Hardaway is considered the first creator, and the bunny was named for him, though many others were involved over the years; Robert McKimson is probably the bloke who gave us the rabbit as we know him.

Although officially, a Muppet can be either right or left handed. Most muppets tend to be left handed; as most humans are right handed. The puppeteer uses his or her right hand to control the head and mouth. While using theyre left hand for the muppets arms and hands.

It's a portmanteau of marionette and puppet.
