70 Years, 70 Muppets: More Muppets Please Podcast

[The Count]

Another multiple Mupdate, hot off the presses.

August 16 2026, Entry #102: Annie Sue, Miss Piggy's rival, even if she didn't really know it. Glad that Louise Gold's signature character finally got a spotlight of her own.

August 23 2026, Entry #103: Fleet Scribbler, the scurrilous scoundrel noted for writing down the backstage scandals. The most impressively surprising thing about Fleet is that he is fluent in mock-Swedish, enough so to converse with The Swedish Chef in his non-native language.

Couple more additions from these past weeks.

August 30 2026, Entry #104: Delbert the La Choy Dragon, I found the tag for the episode humerous.
"Help! I'm at a supermarket and a dragon is trying to sell me some noodles!"

September 6 2026, Entry #105: Big Tiny Tallsaddle, whose claim to Muppet fame is as the owner of WHOG Radio from when it took over the Muffin Theater for the Johnny Cash episode.
BTW: Who did this character portray in The Muppets Meet the Classics: The Phantom of the Opera?

BTW: Who did this character portray in The Muppets Meet the Classics: The Phantom of the Opera?

Big Tiny Tallsaddle made a very brief appearance in The Phantom of the Opera, as a hopeful "tenor known for his Texas twang". Unfortunately he had his contract with the Opera canceled immediately after his audition, as Statler and Waldorf were not big fans of twang, and that was the last of him in the book. The original Gaston Leroux text does not have individual names listed there, so he's just a part of "artists" crowd.
