It's Fozzie Bear, not Fuzzy Bear

Toby Ziegler defends PBS and has one of his best showings of disdainfulness for someone who would have the audacity to get Fozzy Bear's name wrong.

@radboi Thanks for going through the video page with a fine-toothed comb :).

You should probably put a comma after the word "actually." Lol.

@Gunman610 I appreciate your comment but sometimes accuracy is put to the side for a good laugh and that's what was done here. And sometimes inaccuracies are used to show the CHARACTER'S humanality/imperfections/inade­quacies.

Actually, though, there were Muppets who made appearances on Sesame Street, though I can't recall Fozzy ever being one of those...

Wocka Wocka Wocka :)!

And by God, we're going to protect Julia Child!

Only Toby could spit out "Fuzzie Bear" with all the contempt it deserves.

Actually it's neither. It's Fozzie Bear.

But thanks for the clip. x

While I love the delivery, I'm not the greatest fan of the writing. Nobody mistakes Rodgers and Hammerstein for Rodgers and Hart. And PBS doesn't sell Fozzy Bear dolls, as he is not a character generally associated with Sesame Street. So, while a big Sorkin fan, I think he stretches reality a bit than usual here.

@cbrandonchapman Kermit was the only cross-over (appearance), according to First Lady I think.
