TV Alert: Gonzo on Jimmy Kimmel Live 3/3

[Slackbot]

Ahhh, that did my heart good. I love Gonzo's off-the-cuff stuff. He comes across as more himself than he did in the 2011 movie. "It's a win-win situation!"

The one thing that bugs me about the puppet is that its mouth doesn't seem to want to close right. It was less obvious here, possibly due to the lighting. But, really, can't they make a lower jaw that matches the upper?

I agree, and that's really apparent in the "sequel" song number from MMW

Of course, this episode was extra-special for Canadian Muppet fans because Gonzo wound up on the same show as controversial Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, leading to THIS observation from The Globe and Mail cartoonist Brian Gable:

I just happened to think... has the old "Whatever" schtick gotten old? When Jimmy asked Gonzo what exactly was he, I was expecting Gonzo to respond with, "A, um... Whatever", but that wasn't the case.

Well now it's kind of apparent that Dave Goelz also wasn't a fan of MFS. I'm not sure if it was scripted or not, but if Dave liked MFS he would've said he's an alien.
