[minor muppetz]

if you are wondering, here are who some characters would be performed by:

Purple jugband member- Jim Henson.
Little Girl Jugband Member- Eren Ozkar.
Gonzos dance partner- Dave Goelz.
lady from vendaface skit- Eren ozkar.

All other characters who don't have any consistant performers wouldn't have any solo lines.

The jokes involving the slippery floor during At the Dance were brilliant.

Uhh, who's Diahann Carroll?

 

[minor muppetz]

Uhh, who's Diahann Carroll?

She was (I'm not sure if she's still alive or still in show buisness) an african american actress who starred on a sitcom called Julia. It aired in the late 1960s (and possibly early 1970s). She also guest starred on an episode of The Flip Wilson Show which also guest starred Kermit and two whatnots, and she had a scene with Kermit in that episode.
