Might be time for Kermit to finally call it off with her…

I’m sure there was a Muppet Show sketch where Fozzie had vampire fangs…? Nevertheless, this could be fun!

You're probably thinking of Vincent Price from the first season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoP9x11VZK0

Nah, I seem to remember Fozzie in a tux, I think, with top hat and fangs. Maybe it was from the end of that show, when the cast all came on at the end? Of course this could be an entirely different Muppet I’m thinking about that’s morphed into Fozzie in my mind over the years…!

In looking for some kind of images, I came across whatever this this was:

…but it’s not what I was thinking of. Gosh, that looks so wrong! :shock:

Nice.

Pat Sajak will be voicing a character in the Haunted Mansion special. Should be a hoot!

Pat and Vanna were just in the news for signing contract extensions with Wheel of Fortune. At those contracts' conclusions, they will have done the show for about 40 years!
