Interviews with Steve Whitmire

I hate how on YouTube interviews with Steve Whitmire. Whenever he talks about his career with The Muppets from the very beginning as he was 18 in 1978. And when he took over roles of Kermit, Ernie and more. Steve never talks about Kermit as a Sesame Street character. I hate he doesn't and I think it has to do with the fact that he's not allowed to due to Kermit being a copyright of Disney. So screw Disney!
