Origins of Fozzie's name

[Foreignman]

Hey guys, I don't know if everyone has realized this or if this is the greatest discovery of all time, but I just had a revelation towards where Fozzie's name comes from. Frank Oz... F. Oz... Foz... Fozzie... The Foz!!!!!!!! Anyway, I hope this is the find of the century and I'm not just an idiot... Let me know if y'all had already figured this out.

Yep, I noticed it.

You ever notice that Luke Skywalker is: Luke S.... Lucas?

Wow. I've never noticed that. It's funny that I never thought of the origin of Fozzie's name, but I keep obsessing on why he thinks there's a guy living in his finger. Lol.

You're thinking of Squire Trelawney.

Ah yes, but our dear Señor the Bear was merely portraying a character for the screen. Let's not confuse our actors with the roles they play

Another common theory is that Fozzie was named for Franz "Faz" Fazakas.
