Meet the New 'Miss Nanny' - Jenny Slate!

Former SNL cast member Jenny Slate has been tapped to watch over the new Muppet Babies Nursery!

Slate will lend her voice to the iconic faceless, tights wearing "Nanny" in the new Muppet  Babies reboot. 

Speaking of Nanny's tights, they will no longer be stripped green! 

Instead, they will now change depending on the episode's theme. 

In addition to Slate, the rest of the cast has also been reveled as well.

Melanie Harrison (Piggy), Dee Bradley Baker (Animal), Ben Diskinas (Gonzo), Eric Bauza  (Fozzie Bear), Summer Penguin (Jessica DiCicco), and Matt Danner will not only voice Kermit, he's the supervising director.

Check out this behind the scenes look at Jenny as "Nanny"

Muppet Babies debuts on Disney Jr. in March.

Joel McHale Joins Happytime Murders!

Joel McHale, who led the cast of NBC's cult comedy Community, and hosted E!'s Talk Soup (later renamed The Soup), is the latest star to join the Henson Company's puppet noir film. 

McHale joins previously announced stars Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, and Elizabeth Banks. 

This isn't the first time McHale has worked with the Muppet performers. He appeared on season 42 of Sesame Street explaining the word "prickly, Statler and Waldorf made an appearance on The Soup to promote the video release of The Muppets, and McHale shared the screen with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in a 2015 Audi commercial.

McHale is playing a stern FBI agent who is working on the case.

Elizabeth Banks Joins 'Happytime Murders'!

Elizabeth Banks has joined the cast of The Happytime Murders!

The Hunger Games and star posted this photo to her facebook page yesterday ahead of the official announcement:

Banks joins the above pictured Melissa McCarthy and the recently announced Maya Rudolph on the puppet-noir comedy. 

The Hollywood Reporter revealed new details about the characters they would be portraying as well as which longertime Muppet performer will be leading the nonhuman cast:

In the pic, McCarthy portrays lead detective Connie Edwards opposite longtime Henson puppeteer Bill Barretta, who performs as Phil Phillips, the puppet detective. Banks plays Jenny, a burlesque dancer, and Rudolph plays Bubbles, Phil’s secretary.

Banks is no stranger to working with the Muppets. She appeared both in the pilot presentation and the 1st episode of ABC's short lived the muppets, and will be seen in an upcoming segment on Sesame Street. 

I got to briefly talk to Happy Time's director, Brian Henson at The Muppets Hollywood Bowl show who said after the first week of filming that the film was "Hilarious."

We'll see if that's the case when The Happytime Murders is released August 17, 2018.
