The Muppet Show (1976)

S1E21 Bruce Forsyth

Fozzie Bear devises a scheme to outshine Statler and Waldorf during his performance, only to feel deflated when Bruce Forsyth steps in as his replacement. In a surprising turn, Fozzie hurls some biting jokes that momentarily leave the two curmudgeonly critics at a loss for words. Ultimately, Fozzie and Bruce join forces on stage, delivering a duet of "Side by Side." Throughout the episode, a quirky duck makes several amusing appearances in various sketches and routines.
