Not too long ago, after renting an old movie with Marcello Mastroianni, I remembered a Muppet Show bit, which contained some dialogue roughly as follows:

GUEST: "He was so uncultured, he thought Marcello Mastroianni was an Italian soup."
SAM THE AMERICAN EAGLE: "You mean it ISN'T an Italian soup? I have ordered Marcello Mastroianni on several occasions."
GUEST: "What did they bring you?"
SAM: "A swarthy, good-looking man sitting in a bowl. I sent it back, of course."

I just can't remember who the guest was during this conversation, and it's driving me crazy. :confused: Can anybody help me out?

Also, I'd like to submit that exchange for the "Memorable Quotes" section of the show's IMDb listing ( http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0074028/quotes ), so I'd really appreciate it if anybody could help with a more precise recollection of the sketch's exact words. :big_grin:

I thought that Sam was more cultured than that. Good heavens!

Easy one. This was from the Panel sketch done on the Candice Bergen episode.
