Henson/Nerdist Press Conference video featuring Weird Al Yankovic!

Grant — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:25:58 +0000

I recently puppeteered on a sort video for The Jim Henson Company and the Nerdist YouTube Channel. This was great fun for several reasons including working with Chris Hardwick again, whom I’ve done stand-up with and he was also a guest on Dr. Floyd, and, of course, getting to work with Weird Al! It was a surreal experience all the way around. And now you can see the end result! I play the boy dressed as a duck who asks the questions about Alison Hailslip. Enjoy!

Scenes from The Last Tetethon

Grant — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:21:05 +0000

You may remember that back in December I was in a play called The Last Telethon. We only did one performance so if you missed it, you missed hout. However, there’s now a ‘sizzle’ reel from the show online. You can see it below.

More Dinosaur Facts for The Jim Henson Company

I just completed another batch of voice-overs for the website for Dinosaur Train from The Jim Henson Company. This is the second batch of Dinosaur Facts I’ve done for the Dinosaur Train Field Guide. You can visit the guide here:

Then on any dinosaur click the facts button a couple of times and you’ll hear some fun dinosaur facts from me!

Here is the final podcast I produced for the Jim Henson Company. It may be one of my favorites. Merry Christmas to all!

The Last Telethon

Grant — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:27:06 +0000

I’m making a return to ‘actual theatre’ for the first time in a long time in a new show called THE LAST TELETHON. It’s a crazy show about Jerry Lewis raising money to get his film “The Day The Clown Cried” remade. It’s a must see. The cast is incredible and I’m in it too. Here’s the info:

THE LAST TELETHON

Written By & Starring Mark Amato as Jerry Lewis

Come and watch the comedy genius as he and his team try to raise money for a truly important cause: to get Jerry’s 1971, never-before-seen magnum opus, “The Day The Clown Cried” remade.

The GrantCast EPISODE #001 – Stan Freberg Talks About Jim Henson!

Grant — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 23:31:35 +0000

Today, September 24, 2011, the world is celebrating the 75th Birthday of Jim Henson. I have some audio that no one’s ever heard before of Stan Freberg talking about Jim Henson. I figured this would be a great day to release it into the world!
