Ahh, well, Fozzie was probably got a gig doing stand-up somewhere, knowing that for one night Statler and Waldorf would be stuck in an audience watching that badly cut-together tv special, so he could get some peace to get through his jokes. In fact, maybe the entire thing was made as a Statler and Wadorf decoy (both for Statler and Waldorf, and also their naysayer friends here at MC) while Fozzie was off doing the real Muppet work.
