PERFORMER | Joey Mazzarino |
DEBUT | 1993 |
Gimley's Boss is the unctuous supervisor of sales rep Gimley in the Muppet Meeting Film "How to Sell." Possessing a voice patterned after radio actor Frank Nelson, complete with elongated "Yeeeesss?", the boss puts Gimley through his paces, expecting him to demonstrate a variety of sales techniques. However, the boss doesn't realize the importance of knowing your customer.
He also appeared in a promo for the films, under the scrutiny of Luncheon Counter Monster. The puppet was later reused, sans mustache, as Ted Thomas in From the Balcony.
