It's not easy being green or switching voices, but Kermit's making it work.

Muppet veteran Matt Vogel made his vocal debut as the iconic frog on Monday's episode of "Muppets Thought of the Week," allowing fans to hear the new Kermit for the very first time -- and luckily not much seems to have changed.

Back in July it was announced that Steve Whitmire, who had voiced Kermit for the past 27 years, had parted ways with Disney. Vogel, who joined Sesame Street in 1996, has voiced several popular roles on the show, and is the third person to ever voice Kermit.

Have a listen for yourself and see if you can tell the difference.
