An early version of Kermit appeared in 1955, in a five minute puppet show for WRC-TV Sam and Friends. The prototype Kermit was created from a green ladies’ coat that Henson’s mother had thrown in the trash can, and two ping-pong balls for eyes. The early Kermit was a sort of lizard-like creature; Kermit’s first appearance as a frog was in the television special Hey Cinderella in 1969, and he’s been a frog ever since.
Kermit had his big break in 1971, with frequent appearances on Sesame Street as a news reporter interviewing nursery rhyme characters. One of his most memorable works was the song “Bein’ Green”. Kermit’s song “The Rainbow Connection” was also a big hit from The Muppet Movie and has become the signature song of The Jim Henson Company. (It is also the only movie song sung by a frog to be nominated for an Academy Award.)
To date he is a world wide phenomenon there are very few people who have not heard of Kermit the frog
