DEBUT | 1987 |
Lord Hog is a British pig encountered by Kermit the Frog in a Season 19 Sesame Street News Flash sketch. The elderly, porcine gent apologizes to Kermit for his tardiness, assuming that the Yank frog wanted to interview a London hog.
A stereotype of the jolly London clubman, Lord Hog comes from good aristocratic stock, the famous London Hogs. The emphasis on his family background implies that his title is hereditary, and not awarded on merit.
Lord Hog reappeared in Episode 2995, reciting a poem about pigs.
