Chris Langham

This is a weird one, so we’re just going to lay it out here without getting cutesy about it. Chris Langham was a writer on The Muppet Show, and he filled in at the last minute when the scheduled guest star set himself on fire (really!). Later, he was also a convicted sex offender, which is why (we assume) this episode isn’t on Disney+. (Anything goes! …see, that would’ve been weird.) We’re completists, so we wanted to cover it anyway, and we hope you’ll join us and very special guest star Shane Keating while we talk around Langham and get into the delightful “Friendship,” possibly racist Londoners, and one wild gnu. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/chris-langham

It’s gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight ‘cause we’re bugging out about the Marty Feldman episode of The Muppet Show! Open Sesame and welcome our guest J.D. Hansel! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/marty-feldman

Statler and Waldorf are taking over the show! Not our show, we’ve got grumpy criticism covered already. We also put the bomp in the bomp bomp bomp and go deep on sauerkraut, lands that may or may not be your land or my land, and of course Hal Linden and Barney Miller. Oh and BALLS! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/hal-linden

Alley-oop! This episode is a real pip! Join us any time in the night and day to board the Friendship Train (to Georgia?) as we blow the roof off the Gladys Knight episode. We heard it through the grapevine that we even have a very special guest, Becca Petunia! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/gladys-knight

Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa! We were made for dancing about how much we love Carol Burnett and this episode! Watch what happens when we discuss with our very special guest star Jen Tullock.New merch: You Promised Me A Variety Show!Text only versionhttps://muppeturgy.com/episodes/carol-burnett

We’re almost done so if you’re still listening you must be hooked on us. Sorry, it’s hard to be humble about the Mac Davis episode of Muppeturgy, we think it’s pretty eefing good. Maybe that’s just the multitude of Beakers talking, or the mimeograph fumes. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/mac-davis

When Tony Randall accidentally turns Miss Piggy to stone, is it horrific or delightful? Why not both? She and Tony Randall definitely make an odd couple! https://muppeturgy.con/episodes/tony-randall

Raindrops on roses and girls on high wires, tumbling skiers and teeterboard fliers, bizarre flamenco AND CREEPY-ASS CLOWNS, these are a few of our favorite things! You’ll be crying out loud if you don’t listen to our Melissa Manchester episode (but don’t run off with the circus about it, that never ends well). https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/melissa-manchester

There are fifty ways to love your lever and we will get into…some of them. We’ll also head to the renaissance fair for herbs and pie, drive some babies, and call some people Al whether they like it or not. Most importantly, we’ll talk about the Paul Simon episode of The Muppet Show with our very special guest star, Ryan Roe! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/paul-simon

We’re flouting convention this week to talk about Jean-Pierre Rampal with very special guest star Tara Ariano! Brush up your French and your flute and join us! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/jean-pierre-rampal
