Astoria, with her husband Waldorf
Astoria is the wife of Waldorf. She looks like Statler in drag. She appeared just once on The Muppet Show, in episode 413.
When Statler was sick (of the Show), Astoria used his ticket to watch it with Waldorf. She once asked Waldorf how much the Muppets pays him, because who could imagine a "poor study turkey" going there for nothing. To this, Waldorf sheepishly replies "gobble gobble." Later on, Astoria finishes the jokes for Fozzie Bear, hoping he would leave.
In the Ask Henson.com web column, writer Jim Lewis was asked to provide information on Astoria.
Although Astoria looks like Statler, there is no indication in the episode that the two are related. The idea that Astoria is Statler's twin sister (and therefore Statler and Waldorf are brothers-in-law) has been cited in a number of places on the internet.[1] For more Internet urban myths, see the Rumors section.
