I thought this was an awesome episode. I felt he connected with the muppets, especially the band members. I did have a question- does anybody know who the muppet was that played the bongos in Dizzy's first number?

Also, wouldn't it have been cool if Dizzy had played something with LIPS? I know Lips wasn't shown until the 5th season, but that would've been so awesome!

I don't think he has a official name. But fans have been calling him "Bongo Dude".
