Rowlf the Dog on The Jimmy Dean Show.

This is a clip off a documentary I bought years ago entitled "The World of Jim Henson." The doco was a biography on Jim Henson's career with the muppets and had many rare clips from different shows he did in the early days of the muppets.
This extract of the doco was about the first project Jim did with Frank Oz, and the birth of one of their best (and now lost) characters, Rowlf the Dog on the Jimmy Dean show.

not sure exactly when rowlf started appearing on the jimmy dean show, but I can tell you that it was around 1964, 5 years before sesame street started.

It's hilarious how Rowlf keeps making Jimmy Dean laugh almost uncontrollably.

Rowlf- Hey Doctor, there's a hole in your headlights.

Jimmy- Naw, get outta here-

LOL!

My favorite line from that movie comes right after that one when Rowlf mentions "taking myself out for a walk."
