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, who first performed her in "". Matt Vogel provided the voices for Janice and Scooter in the video game "Muppet RaceMania". John Lovelady performed her for one appearance in 1975.
