Trained as a mime, Muehl assisted the principal puppeteers and performed small roles. He soon transitioned to Sesame Street, where he took over the roles of Barkley (from Toby Towson) and Telly Monster (from Bob Payne), who, besides being his most prominent characters, were also his favorite. He also originated such characters as Dr. Nobel Price, and, in some of his earliest appearances, performed Elmo. Muehl also performed multiple roles on The Dark Crystal (and along with Steve Whitmire, was one of only two puppeteers to both perform and voice a character). In 1984, Muehl left the Muppets for reasons he later articulated in a Random House bio: “The downside of long hours in film and TV studios is all the downtime. Besides growing restless, I had a wife and two young daughters I was seeing too little of. So I traded life in front of the camera for life behind it. I became a children’s television writer.” Changing his name to Meehl, to reflect the pronunciation, the puppeteer began churning out scripts for Eureeka's Castle, PBS series Eyewitness, The Magic School Bus, Between the Lions, Cyberchase, and Codename: Kids Next Door. He did return to the Muppets sporadically in the 1990s, notably as a regular on Dog City and several episodes of Sesame Street during season 25 (including Episode 3145, 3204, and 3261). He later made an on-screen cameo as "Ramp Guy" in episode 3319 the following season, and as a balloon salesman in episode 3634 two seasons later. He also wrote a pair of episodes for Sesame English, "A Zoo for Jenny" and "Tingo Hears a Noise." In 2006, he published his first young adult novel, Out of Patience, which examines such issues as baseball and in small-town Kansas. In 2008, he published his second, Suck It Up, a vampire comedy which contains a brief mention of his former character Elmo. At one time, Muehl was a member of Mummenschanz as an interpreter for Andres Bossard.

Zamek Eureki, Magiczny autobus i Kryptonim: Klan na drzewie. Od 2008 roku jest też pisarzem: na swoim dorobku ma cztery książki.
