WE. ARE. BACK! We’re joined by Kevin Carlson, creator and star
of the iconic 90’s video series Timmy the Tooth. Kevin is also
known for his work on projects including The Mr. Potato Head Show,
Imagination Movers, Crank Yankers, and The Muppets. Additionally,
he is a co-chair of the SAG/AFTRA Puppeteers Committee, which
fights to ensure fair contracts for professional puppeteers.
We talk to Kevin about the responsibility of negotiating for fair
wages and residuals for puppeteers, evolving Timmy the Tooth from a
live variety show to a major TV program, and his fail-safe approach
to preparing for auditions. Don't miss this conversation with this
incredible performer, writer, and puppetry advocate! PLUS: find out
which celebrity once hired Kevin and his crew to perform at their
kid’s birthday party.
