In "Muppets Haunted Mansion" the Great Gonzo – world famous daredevil artiste, has done it all, seen it all, and survived it all. But on Halloween night, the fearless Gonzo takes on the greatest challenge of his life by spending one very daring night in the most grim grinning place on Earth …The Haunted Mansion.

For Yvette Nicole Brown, who plays the hearse driver, she’s no stranger to Disney projects. She starred in Lady and the Tramp remake with Kiersey Clemons, hosted the game show The Big Fib, and starred opposite John Stamos in the high school basketball series, Big Shot, which was recently renewed for a second season. She will also star in the highly anticipated Enchanted sequel, Disenchanted as a villain.

Outside her Disney projects, in 2021 she received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her role in A Black Lady Sketch Show.
