[Fozzie Bear]

Wait: Are we talking about folks who are only alive, or folks who were alive during TMS?

Definitely Wayne Brady!

 

[sugarbritchez]

I second Kev's suggestion of Wayne Brady..........but why not the whole cast of Who's Line is it anyway? They are Funneee!!!!!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I wish they could somehow put Fozzie on that show!!

 

[Harvey Towers]

The Muppets could be good for living props - think what they'd get out of Gonzo's nose!

Or maybe song styles would be more suitable - but then that game suits everything.

If all else fails Party Quirks could invole a "come as Fozzie" party!

(I've really got into that show since Challenge TV started showing it in the UK but a week ago...)

I wish they could somehow put Fozzie on that show!!

Why stop at Fozzie I think Disney should have a Muppet Whose Line. Think about it Kermit, Gonzo, and Fozzie could always be on like Wayne, Ryan, and Colin, and the other Muppets could join in as the the fourth member, e.g. Piggy, Pepe, Animal, Piggy, etc. And the Muppeteers could just ad lib the whole thing. And the hosts would be Statler and Waldorf!

Umm.....Ditto to Gorgon Heap's list? I honestly think you listed nearly everyone that WOULD have been on my list. Or, at least, a lot of them.
Blue Man Group. (Hey, if they did Mummenschanz...)
Halle Berry (She appears very good-natured. If she could GO TO the Razzies...Well...)
Matthew Broderick (AND Nathan Lane! Together! It'd be lovely...)
Dominic Monghan (Free advertising for Lost!)
Alan Alda...Oh, THAT would be beautiful! (Not to mention Weird Al! And Ewan MacGregor...It'd be like I was DREAMING!)
There's others, too...Gwyneth Paltrow, Diana Krall, Mandy Patinkin, Lauren Graham, (sssh, I LOVE her in Gilmore Girls), and Claudia Black. (Do I NEED a reason??? She's Claudia Black!)

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Hey, Gorgon Heap, you forgot...um...nevermind...they're all there.
