I’d always heard that Animal was based on Artimus Pyle, who was Lynyrd Skynyrd’s drummer.

“I always thought of Beaker and his buddy Bunsen Honeydew as characters that came along later in the Muppet timeline, but they have been around since the The Muppet Show. ”

How old are you? Everyone who watched the Muppets as a child knows that!

What about “Rolf”? I’m convinced that the real-life character on whom Rolf is based upon the piano-playing 1970s incarnation of Tom Waits.

Who’s with me? “The Piano Has Been Drinking” not Jim Henson, eh???

What about Rolf? I’m convinced the piano-playing 70s crooner incarnation of the one and only Tom Waits is real-life character upon which Rolf is based.

Who’s with me?

Thank you for clearing up the rumor about “Bert and Ernie” being named after the characters in “It’s a Wonderful Life”. I always thought it was true. I’ll stop spreading the rumor. One more thing, the character that Frank Oz played in the “Blues Brothers” as the property control jailer in the beginning of the movie kept certain characteristics of his puppets which is pretty cool.

Heather Dawn…

Ham it up, don’t we see that we have a budding Shakespeare, ‘blogging’, might we add, on the Super-internet, highway; of what English, virtuously, intrinsic and of conjuration, makes us all poetic and sub-climbed, anterior learn thus: Lear forward!!

The Gall… The Gall… The Gall.

Bert may not be Dead nor Evil, but by definition… Gay. Neurotically!

To Tom #3 :P

P.s. – O.k., ‘Gayllie’ Evil!
