Hercule Poirot

Hercule Poirot is a fictional detective created by Agatha Christie in 1920, and whose exploits have been filmed many times, including a series of movies starring The Muppet Show guest star Peter Ustinov. The character (and other works by the author) has occasionally been spoofed or referenced in Muppet productions.
