Hi, fans. Does any of you love the shafty Muppet salesman wearing a trenchcoat? I remember him as a baby as he sang "Would You Like To Buy An O?" as he sells the O to Ernie and I also remember the skit I saw on the video "Play Along Games And Songs" where he sells Ernie the four elephants picture. Now when I was a teen, I defiantely loved the preview of the "U" one where he spoke in a very low Big Bird voice on the A&E Biography special and this preview goes like this:
(The scene is grayish-green. The "U" is made by rope.)
LEFTY: See this U?
ERNIE: Is this U right here?
LEFTY: SHHHH! We've had this U in my family for years...
ERNIE: Oh yeah?
LEFTY: But today I'm sorry to say--I'm gonna have to send it to you.
ERNIE: To me? Wow!
LEFTY: SHHHH!
That's all I saw. I wish I can see the whole sketch.
And I never saw the early skit where he sells an "8" to Ernie from the first season...I just saw the pics of it a few years ago on Noggin's Best Choice Awards, but then it's gone.
Do you guys have a video clip or an MP3 of the skits with Lefty the Salesman? Please let me know!
