This week's guest star is the living embodiment of the Renaissance Man, the Muppets biggest "get" of season one and lived a life that was almost unimaginably interesting. Raised by a spy and a ballet dancer, Ustinov began acting at the age of 18 and never looked back, winning two Best Supporting Actor Oscars as well as a Grammy. In this Episode Doug and I discuss his talent for mimicry and long time work for UNICEF on behalf of the United Nations, an institution that held an entirely different place in the American imagination in the 1960's than it does now.
