Ernie Gordon Anything
Ernie and Bert Sketches: Miscellaneous
First Appearance Episode 0038
Broadcast December 31, 1969
Additional Appearances

Gordon encounters Ernie, who is sad because everyone is too busy to play with him. Gordon produces a blank Anything Muppet, names him "Harvey" and puts some facial features on him — first he's a poet who would rather think of rhymes than play with Ernie, then he's sad, then he's angry. Gordon solves this by modifying Harvey's face to look more like Ernie's, and sees that the two of them seem to have everything else in common. "I think Ernie just made a friend," says Gordon.

Notes[]

  • Frank Oz performs Harvey for most of the segment, but lip-syncs to Jim Henson's voice when he looks more like Ernie.
  • The sketch follows a long tradition of scenarios consisting of building faces.
