Whenever I meet people who watch QVC, they’ll often ask “What’s it really like to work here look there?” They’ll ask questions like “It looks like you guys are having a blast. Is it really that much fun?” After recalling fond memories like Broadcasting from the Oktoberfest in Munich Germany, climbing the Great Wall of China, and doing a promo with one and only Joan Rivers, my immediate response is… “Yes, it really is that much fun!!”

And just when you think it can’t get any better, who decides to pay a visit to our QVC Studios? The Muppets!

I grew up watching the Muppets on Television, and had always admired the work of Jim Henson. The Muppets had that rare gift of appealing to young people, yet had a smart sensibility that made adults laugh as well.  And when my wife Amy and our two boys, Nicholas and Joshua, we rediscovered the Muppets all over again. From children’s books to VHS Videos (remember those?), we spent hours and hours enjoying the antics of Miss Piggy. They helped our kids learn to read, and made them laugh out loud.

So when  I was told I’d have the opportunity to work (I mean, play)  with the actual Muppets, the real Muppets, I was over the moon! The Muppet crew of people could not have been nicer, could not have been more playful. And Link Hogthrob? A true professional! Bobo? A little clumsy, yes, but I feel I’ve met a friend for life!

It’s obvious they love what they do. And my family and I can’t wait to see the new movie, Muppets Most Wanted, in theatres March 21^st!
