PERFORMER | Allan Trautman |
DEBUT | 1994 |
The Royal Doctor serves under King Midas and his Queen in the "King Midas" story of Muppet Classic Theater.
After King Midas has inadvertently changed himself to a golden statue, Queen Midas seeks the doctor's help. Unfortunately, the medical expert tells her that he is powerless to restore her husband to his former self, but offers a bottle of solution to keep him from tarnishing (accompanied by a take to the camera and a rimshot). Queen Midas responds by karate-chopping him.
Similar injurious fates befall the medico's equally unhelpful fellow advisors, the Royal Jeweler and the Royal Jester.
