Eric Jacobson | DISNEY THIS DAY | January 15, 1971

On this day in 1971, puppeteer Eric Jacobson was born. He has worked with the Muppets since 1994, being inspired to take up puppeteering after the death of Jim Henson. In the early 2000s, Jacobson took over as the primary performer for most of Frank Oz’s classic characters, including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, and Sam Eagle. Outside Disney, Jacobson also performs as Grover, Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Guy Smiley, and the Two-Headed Monster on ‘Sesame Street.’ [55 years ago in 2026] Don't miss Daps Magic's official weekly YouTube show Geeks Corner here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAF91C7183BAB676B Visit Daps Magic: https://dapsmagic.com Join Our Patreon Community: https://patreon.com/dapsmagic Daps Magic was created by a very special group of Disney Fans who had a dream for a place on the internet where people young and old could share their love of Walt Disney and his legacies in a safe and fun atmosphere.
