Guy Smiley hosts Dialing for Prizes, where a film is shown and a caller can win a prize if they guess a word.
The caller, Mr. Lucky, guesses the word, "Fur," and his prize is various monsters.
Cast[]
- Jim Henson as Guy Smiley
- Jerry Nelson as Mr. Lucky and announcer
- Frank Oz as monsters (including Frazzle)
- Richard Hunt as monsters (including Herry Monster)
Notes[]
- The sketch is a spoof of the television program Dialing for Dollars.
- Among the celebrities in the photos behind Guy on the set are W. C. Fields, John Barrymore (from the 1926 film Don Juan), Clark Gable (in a promotional portrait from the 1932 film Red Dust), and Fanny Brice (as her character "Baby Snooks").
- The movie that plays as the "feature presentation" is a clip from the 1924 Hal Roach comedy short Don't Park There! starring Will Rogers.
- The music that plays during the movie is the same music used in the segment where Bob and Luis put together 2 pieces of a billboard sized picture of a train tunnel. (First: Episode 0549)
