[That Announcer]

Faz Fazakas? Seems unlikely...

Thats what he said he seemed keen to change the subject of Muppets right after that question

Corroboration

I apologize for coming in late to this thread, but it took me awhile to be able to post.

I think Frank's story about Faz Fazakas is right since Jim personally told me the same story.

WHAT?!?!?!? You knew Jim Henson?!?!?!?!

 

[D'Snowth]

I read somewhere that Fozzie's original name was to be "Ozzie", but Frank made a complaint about it, or something.

Oh, THAT Jim...

WHAT?!?!?!? You knew Jim Henson?!?!?!?!

Yes, I did know Jim. He was very nice to me when I was younger. I even have a hand-written congratulatory note from him when I got a job at a major Hollywood studio.

Ernie, tell one of the moderators about this so you could write a report for the articles section of MC. I'd LOVE to hear some of your memories of Jim.
