Miss Piggy as Miss Piggy. For instance in episode , Fozzie gets so fed up with the heckling that he demands everyone but true Fozzie fans leave the auditorium. As a result, the seats are left completely empty; even Fozzie's own cousin leaves; Fozzie departs the stage almost in tears.

They allowed his perpetual optimism to offset his onstage failures until he became a more rounded character. Fozzie's virtues ultimately made his ineptness acceptable -- and even endearing. So successful was this metamorphosis that he became one of the most popular of all the Muppets.

As Brian Henson notes in a generic Muppet Show introduction , "Fozzie is always telling terrible jokes, but he's just trying so hard you've got to love him. Fozzie's family in Fozzie's Big Worry. Fozzie's mother however kept some early home videos of Fozzie and the other Muppets, as shown in A Muppet Family Christmas. As a kid , Fozzie was raised by his mom and dad , along with his baby brother Freddie. Fozzie grew up right next door to his best friend Kermit and often spent time with his grandpa.

Even as a baby, Fozzie always had an interest in becoming a comedian. Fozzie became a stand-up comic at the El Sleezo Cafe , where Kermit invited him to come to Hollywood to become famous. Fozzie took his uncle's car, which was left to him while his uncle hibernated, and the pair set out for California. However, if Fozzie had never met Kermit , he would have ended up becoming a skilled pick-pocket so good that he could pick the pocket of someone without pants.

However, according to The Great Muppet Caper , Fozzie and Kermit are identical twin brothers and share the same father. Fozzie's mother is Emily Bear. Fozzie has a cousin who looks just like him who appeared on The Muppet Show , but apparently he has no more respect for his relative's talent than anyone else.

Fozzie also mentioned an uncle in The Muppet Movie. Fozzie got Kermit to reluctantly assist him for one of his best-known monologues, "Good Grief! The Comedian's a Bear! In episode , Fozzie constantly annoyed Kermit with a running gag, delivering a number of pun items, such as a "wire" and a "letter" for Kermit the Frog which turned out to be a clothes wire and the letter R , respectively. In episode , Fozzie performed the supposedly famous "Banana Sketch. Kermit and Fozzie have also frequently been paired together in countless movies, books, and specials.

The two friends sang the duet " Movin' Right Along " in the same film. Fozzie was also frequently teamed up with Rowlf , beginning in episode of The Muppet Show , in which Fozzie played a bandit opposite Rowlf's saloon piano playing hero in the Western sketch " Cowboy Time.

In episode , Rowlf learned that Fozzie could play the piano a talent Fozzie didn't know he had, either , and they played a duet of " English Country Garden. The young incarnations of Fozzie and Rowlf were also frequently paired together on Muppet Babies. Fozzie's agent, introduced in episode of The Muppet Show , is Irving Bizarre , who is so short that his top hat covers most of his body.

Fozzie also has a hired writer, Gags Beasley , who was first mentioned in Episode Fozzie and Gags have a deal, whereby Fozzie pays his writer by the laugh. Did he ever sleep? So we start at the beginning. His full name is Frank Oznowicz, and he tells me about how his Jewish father escaped from the Nazis in Belgium with his mother, who was Catholic. They made it down to Morocco and his father joined the Dutch Brigades, which allowed him to get a visa and then travel to England, where Oz was born.

It was amazing how he escaped, but it never seemed real to me because how can any of us process something like that? After the family emigrated from Antwerp to the US when Oz was five, they stopped the puppet shows.

But their son took up the family tradition when he was a teenager, performing around San Francisco at parties, church fetes, supermarkets — anywhere he could make some change.

This slight tension still exists today. Oz tried to escape the puppet life by going to college to study journalism. But six months in, a young man named Jim Henson, who had seen him perform two years earlier, got in touch and asked him to come to New York and help on a show he was starting.

And that was that. With partnerships, the two people are usually either very similar or completely different. How was it with Henson and Oz? Jim was quiet, confident. We treated the purity of their souls with reverence, but not the puppets themselves.
