From that time you could see me on CONAN and, because I've been on too many amusement park rides, I found my eyeline to camera for my patented audience member reactions (never look at the monitor or the action - FIND YOUR MOMENT TO SHINE)...

There's a special charm to all of this, but it ends with Frank Oz bringing a delightful bit of Muppet character chaos in Cookie Monster's interaction with Arthur Fiedler... (2/2)

More from Sesame Street at the Boston Pops in 1971. The escalation of the comedy business in Frank Oz’s performance is sublime, and fully rooted in character (note the little rhythmic dance that Cookie Monster does right before he dives back into the comic business)... (1/2)

There are a lot of fantastic moments from the criminally-overlooked SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, but this bit from the "World's Finest" team-up with Batman delivers not only an iconic @markhamillofficial.bsky.social Joker end, but also proof that Batman has a killer wit colder than Victor Fries.

Jim Henson & Frank Oz performed many double acts together, but here's a two-hander w/ Kermit & Grover that’s straight out of vaudeville. The timing puts Swiss clockwork to shame,& their interplay is incredibly kinetic, expertly delivering a lesson w/in the comedy. Jim’s timing at the end? Priceless.

I’ve mentioned it before, but I absolutely love Jim Henson’s corporate films from the 60s. Much like Stan Freberg’s innovative pieces of the same period, Henson’s team had no qualms about going with weird, wonderful concepts that would have stuck out amongst its competition...
