After visiting the "Business Business" puppets mid-build at Jim Henson's Creature Shop in New York (   • Puppet-Making at Jim Henson's Creatur...  ), Adam Savage had the opportunity to watch them LIVE at the Puppet Up improv show in LA. It's a particularly challenging sketch, requiring multiple puppeteers performing with complex puppets that must match the original audio recorded by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl in the 1960s, plus pull off some special effects as well. Puppeteer John Tartaglia and puppet wrangler Kathryn Malloy walk Adam through the "silent dance" that is one of Jim Henson's most classic pieces.
