I hate to ruin the illusion for anyone who doesn't know, but this has 
been going on for years and years, especially with Frank Oz's 
characters. Until a few years ago what would typically happen when one 
puppeteer wasn't available apparently another would sub in and voice 
would be dubbed afterwards. The last year or two they appear to not 
bother dubbing over as much and are just letting different puppeteers do 
different characters.
