Thanks, Joe, for educating me about this guy who I had never heard of being somewhat of a dolt. There is a great obituary about him in the 5/16/2023 issue of the New York Times. Here is an excerpt that amused me.
“His menagerie ranged from hand puppets to fantastic figures that towered over the audience and were controlled by multiple puppeteers. One of his most famous puppets ate Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin and others — it was the “land shark” that turned up at unsuspecting women’s doors in a 1975 “Saturday Night Live” sketch and returned several times over the years.”.
