Comedian Ryan Beck joins us to talk about season one, episode four of the Muppet Show with guest star, and fellow comedian, Ruth Buzzi. Ryan talks about being a comedian in a pandemic, his abiding respect for the Muppet Show (he thinks Henson should get a Nobel Prize) and why he thinks it might be time for Fozzi to look for other work. Meanwhile Doug fills us in on the incredibly important show that launched Buzzi's career, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.
