He earned a BA degree in Home Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1960. He founded Muppets Inc. in 1958. He appeared on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. In 1976, after scrapping plans for a Broadway show, he produced The Muppet Show. His involvement in two television programs- The Storyteller and The Jim Henson Hour- led to Emmy Award wins.
