Upcoming Pyramid celebs
inturnaround:
Wow, Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Kate Monster! I saw "Avenue Q" on Broadway in August and I loved the show. It'll be interesting to see how she can inhabit the puppet outside of the script of the show, but I saw her on the view with John Tartaglia and I was impressed.
I bought the CD, too, and yes, "A Fine Fine Line" is amazing. It's my second favorite behind "I Wish I Could Go Back to College".
I can't wait to see them on Pyramid and I can't wait to go back and see the show again!
(Ob Game Show: What other puppets or Muppets have done game shows? I suppose many have done the Squares, but what about other shows? I know Kermit, for example, played TTTT)

Kukla, Fran, and Ollie appeared on an episode of MGPM.
And I mean that they actually appeared. I'm not talking about the Super Match here. :-)

Actually, it was just Kukla and Ollie, no Fran.
And let's not forget some ventriloquists who appeared with their 'dummies,' on some celeb game shows; most notable were Paul Winchell, Willie Tyler, Wayland Flowers, and Ronn Lucas.
I'd STILL like to see other GS hosts as Pyramid 2004 guests, though!
Cordially,

A group of Muppets (many from the Muppets Tonight series) played a week of Family Feud with Louie Anderson a few years back. Kermit appeared, but did not play, in one of the first Millionaire celebrity editions (word was that they wanted to have him play, but couldn't figure out a way to do it logistically). Henson (with Kermit) and Carroll Spinney (as Big Bird) have been Mystery Guests on WML? Spinney was also a central subject on 70s TTTT.
Specific non-human Squares have included Kermit, Big Bird, Oscar, Bear (of the Big Blue House) Triumph the Dog, Alf, Wayland Flowers' Madame (as well as Jiffy, Macklehoney and Smedley), Howdy Doody, Jay Johnson's Bob, various Krofft Puppets, Willy Tyler's Lester, Jerry Mahoney and likely some others (especially from the current version) that I'm not remembering.
MCArroyo1:
The Great Gonzo has done the Squares recently, and I bet Fozzie did, too.
And going back to the older shows, Edgar Bergen appeared with Mortimer and Charlie on a few programs back in the '50s.
