Lolita the Chicken

Lolita the Chicken performs a dancing chicken act with Gonzo in The Muppet Show Episode 204. Despite Gonzo's urgings, Lolita hardly moved.

Lolita is notable for being the first chicken to inspire Gonzo's passion. In Of Muppets and Men, Dave Goelz said, "There was a moment during the second season when I had Gonzo ad-lib a line that was, I think, important for my understanding of his character. He'd been auditioning chickens for the show -- dancing chickens -- and they were all terrible. At the end of the scene I had him turn to the camera and say, 'Nice legs, though.' Something jelled right there. It told me something about him."

Gonzo's attraction to chickens would eventually lead to his long-term relationship with Camilla, which began in Episode 318.
