Ep 16. Guest: Avery Schreiber

Guest: Avery Schreiber

In this episode of The Muppet Show, the guest star is comedian and actor Avery Schreiber. The opening number features Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, as they sing and dance to "It's a Good Day."

Later on, Schreiber joins the Muppets for a sketch where he plays a professor who can't stop laughing. The sketch is filled with puns and wordplay, making for a hilarious moment. The Muppets also perform a number of musical skits, including "Halfway Down the Stairs" and "Temptation."

One of the standout moments of the episode is when Schreiber joins Fozzie Bear for a comedy sketch. Fozzie tells Schreiber that he's been practicing his jokes all week, to which Schreiber responds with a deadpan "I can tell." The two engage in witty banter back and forth, culminating in a joke about putting a hole in a doughnut. It's a classic Muppet-style comedy routine that's sure to make viewers laugh out loud.

In another sketch, Schreiber plays a detective who's been hired to find out who's been stealing the Muppets' props. The sketch features plenty of humor and slapstick as the detective tries to navigate his way through the various suspects. Of course, the identity of the culprit is not who he or the audience initially suspects.

Musical numbers also play an important role in this episode, with Schreiber lending his voice to a rendition of "Old Dog Tray." There's also a performance by one of the show's regular performers, Gonzo the Great, who plays his trumpet and sings "The Entertainer."

Throughout the episode, the audience is treated to an array of zany and humorous sketches and musical numbers. Schreiber, who was known for his comedy work in the 1960s and 1970s, is a perfect fit for the Muppets and their irreverent sense of humor.

Overall, this episode of The Muppet Show is a must-watch for anyone who's a fan of classic comedy and entertainment. The combination of Schreiber's comedic talent and the wackiness of the Muppets makes for a truly delightful viewing experience.
