I caught a clip on YouTube of Carl's mother eating a pink male Whatnot, but don't remember this clip from the episode. Can anyone describe this scene to me? Thanks.

Has anyone seen the scene? Could someone who's seen it please tell me the context, i.e. who is the guy and why does Carla the Big Mean Mom eat him? Thanks.

And thanks for the link, TSF. I can't believe I didn't think to look at the Muppet Wiki before.

The man is just an un-named what-not who appears to be a backstage worker at the muppet television studios.

What happens is that he sees Carla and says "Hey! You look just like Big Mean Carl!". To which she replies that he's her son and introduces herself to the man.
The what-not holds out his hand saying how pleased he is to meet her and she replies that she is pleased to eat him too and swallows him down.
