Jim Henson was a born performer with a terrific sense of humor. He adored kooky words and wild stories, and he believed int he power of imagination.
Inspired by the comedy and puppet shows he loved to watch, he knew from a young age that he wanted a career in TV. Before long, but after a whole lot of work and practice, Jim's dream came true. He helped create two of the most beloved programs in television history: The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Through his Muppets, Jim showed the world that there's nothing more beautiful than imagination, especially when it's accompanied by laughter and kindness.
