Episode 108: Paul Williams

Scooter talks Fozzie into doing "the telephone pole bit," and Fozzie practices dutifully until he finds out what the bit is: Fozzie dresses up as a telephone pole, and Scooter asks what his name is. "Mike Oznowiczki," Fozzie says, and Scooter exclaims, "Oh, so you're the telephone Pole!" Fozzie is convinced that they will die on stage. They do.

Highlights

• A monster sings All of Me as he gives himself away to his lover, part by part.

• Paul sings Just an Old-Fashioned Love Song, with a chorus of Paul Williams puppets.

• Fozzie, method-acting as the telephone pole, is bothered by a pecking woodpecker.

• Paul gloats that for once he's the tallest person on the show, until he's surrounded by the 8-foot monsters.

Notes

• The "telephone pole's" name is a takeoff on Frank Oz's father, puppeteer Mike Oznowicz.
