Show 122: Rose Rodriguez

The Super Show Season 1 Episode 22: Rose Rodriguez

Generic Intro: Fozzie's Jokes

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. Fozzie Bear was originally conceived as a bear who just told terrible, horrendously bad, unfunny jokes. But when Frank Oz got a hold of the character he added a layer of empathy so that Fozzie is always telling terrible jokes, but he's just trying so hard you've got to love him. The Super Show head writer Jerry Juhl points to one Fozzie sketch that crystallizes the Fozzie we all know and love. In this sketch there are more laughs in the interaction between Fozzie and Kermit than there are in the actual punch lines. Here's that fabulous, furry funny-man, Fozzie Bear, in another episode of The Super Show.
