As reported by Muppets fan site ToughPigs, Matt Vogel, who has been working with The Henson Company for a very long time, is going to replace Steve Whitmire as Kermit the Frog.
Steve Whitmire has only been voicing Kermit the Frog since 1990, but he has been with The Muppets since 1978.
Kermit the Frog, easily the most recognizable of all the Muppets, has been voiced by Steve Whitmire ever since Jim Henson died in 1990.
Matt Vogel, the man who is now tasked with taking up the mantle of Kermit the Frog, is no slouch.
