Suffolk University



Suffolk University is the third largest university in Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded as a law school in 1906 and named after its location in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

Steve Whitmire and Kermit the Frog spoke at the University’s Modern Theatre on April 9, 2011. They appeared as guests with speaker David Hoberman, producer of The Muppets.

When asked it was still not easy being green, Kermit replied, "It used to not be easy being green, but I have since that time back in the seventies been to a being-green support group, and I’m finding it easier all the time. But I should say to your audience, if any of you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and you’re green, I would see a doctor."

Speaking on immortality: "It's an odd place to be. It's one of those things that I rarely deal with in our work because it gets too strange. But, you know, what are we all but inanimate objects in the end? There’s something inside of us that gives us a spark, and at the end of the day we get put in a box and shoved in a closet."
