Potential cameos
- Jim filmed scenes for the Sesame Street "Numerosity" film series with himself as the recurring professor figure. Ultimately, a different actor was chosen.[1]
- An onscreen cameo by Jim was taped for The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, where Jim introduces Nigel before they segue into the first conference room scene. The cameo was cut for time before the special went to air.[2][3]
- An early screenplay draft for The Great Muppet Caper called for Jim to play the man the main trio meet when they land in Great Britain.[4]
