Arthur Novell is the executive director of the nonprofit organization the Jim Henson Legacy. He was Jim Henson's public relations manager for much of Henson's career.
During Muppets Tonight, Novell served as the liaison for the guest stars, a role performed by David Lazer on The Muppet Show. He was responsible for explaining to the guests how to walk on the elevated sets, speak to the Muppets (and not the puppeteers), and make sure they were comfortable with the production.
