I had no idea I could actually do this sort of stuff so just getting started. I love the magic of the puppet

He’s awesome & so animated....so true you can be anything as a puppeteer.

Joey is so amazing! His career actually went a long way since then. I still can't believe he is Kerry Butler's husband!

He was the voice of the Sesame Street typewriter guy.  It's good to put the face with the character.

[MrMetalmanRock]

That was funny. I just wish he would've explained why he left Sesame Street.

At 5:53 it looks as if he’s choking the little guy out lmao

[gamerboyva]

I’ve always wanted a puppet like one of these things and I am still looking







I want one because I feel that my little cousins will really love a little puppet friend at every get together or party

[matthewweatherford]

I have a VHS copy of a Sesame Street tape called Sing Hoot and Howl and I believe Joey was the Spanish speaking black sheep.
