"Lost"'s Jorge Garcia's favorite Muppet

[peyjenk]

On the "Stargazing" page of today's Kansas City Star, there is an excerpt from a Variety interview with Jorge Garcia (Hurley on Lost). One of the questions they asked him was "Who is your inner Muppet?"

And his answer? Sweetums!

The Star fills in the gaps for non-Muppet fans by describing Sweetums as "the giant who tried to clobber Kermit while singing 'froggy woggy woggy gonna get it now!'". Which, as we all know, is a reference to The Frog Prince.

I just thought this was fun, and it was a nice unexpected bit of Muppetyness in my morning.

Even more of a reason for them to release the frog prince on dvd!

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing. He's one of my favourite characters on Lost and Sweetums is the perfect choice for him!

Wow...I've got to tell my friend that (he really likes Lost). That's really cool that a celebrity actually knows such an obscure peice of Muppet trivia.

(He kind of looks like Sweetums, doesn't he?)
