RIP Muppet Show Guests

[The Count]

Aw, this hits doubly hard since she wasn't just a TMS guest star, she was also part of the Sesame neighborhood. Condolescences to Ms. Buzzi. *Moment of silence.

[YellowYahooey]

Not only was she a clerk at the Finders Keepers store, but also the voice of Suzie Kabloozie. Also, didn't Ruth play a woman who showed a girl where potatoes came from in a 1970s film segment?

Not only was she a clerk at the Finders Keepers store, but also the voice of Suzie Kabloozie.

Crazy, I keep forgetting she voiced Suzie.

 

[KCJ506]

She also played a dog thief in an episode of the late 90s/early 00s Nickelodeon show, 100 Deeds for Eddie Mcdowd.

 

[Muppet Master]

RIP to Buzzi. Her Muppet Show episode was one of season 1's best.
