Rowlf is the best muppet ever. Everything with him is Serious Business. =w=

Rowlf at his finest! I wish there were more segments with Rowlf and Jimmy Dean on YouTube.

You can tell racism was bad back then. They gave a Muppet dog more air time than the brotha.

Henson did commercials for dozens of regional advertisers in the late '50s and during most of the '60s- I'm not familiar with "Kraml Milk".

Dont forget the Muppets on early Kraml Milk commercials

Thx Barry. Gem of a sketch! Henson/Rowlf in total control, also improvising. But isn't it amazing that already by 1964 Henson had a a couple of "muppets" as we learn from the closing credits of the show? The Rowlf we see here was almost the complete that we know from the famous show much later.

Oh I see!

"Rowlf" was originally created for a series of Purina Dog Chow ads in the fall of 1962....and became popular enough to become a "cast member" of Jimmy's show in the fall of '63.

After, Colleen. This was originally telecast on December 17, 1964- a year and almost four months after Dr. King made his speech on August 28, 1963.

Jimmy's ABC variety show was on from 1963 through '66. This segment originally aired on December 17, 1964 (Donald O'Connor's turn as host of "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE" [9:36] aired the following Saturday, December 19th).
