Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem as a team. Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson had established themselves as a team prior to "The Muppet Show". Therefore, the change in Janice's performer may have been the reason for her relationship shifting from Zoot to Floyd. After Hunt's death, her character was faded back to brief non-speaking background appearances until the 2002 "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" in which she was performed by Brian Henson. Henson also provided her voice for the video game "Muppets Party Cruise". In "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz", she was performed by Tyler Bunch. Her most recent performer is David Rudman,
Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem and Mary. Zoot is a teal-colored, balding saxophone player with dark glasses and a high-crowned blue felt hat and was generally a laid-back fellow of few words. His name refers to the 20th-century saxophonist Zoot Sims and per designer Bonnie Erickson is modeled after Latin jazz artist Gato Barbieri. He is performed by Dave Goelz. He was conceived as a burned-out, depressed 50-year-old musician but according to Goelz when the role was assigned to him, he did not know how to perform that type of character. He, therefore, made the character mainly communicate through his playing rather than by speaking.
