The Making of the Muppet Show: OF MUPPETS & MEN

  • SIGNED As New
  • New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1981
By FINCH, Christopher
This handsome coffee table book, As New, is a signed and inscribed presentation copy fully in the hand of Jim Henson to comedian Milton Berle:
Christmas 1981
To Milton, with our love,
Kermit the Frog - Jim & Dave & all the gang
Dave in the inscription is Dave Laser, Executive Producer of THE MUPPETS SHOW. Milton Berle had a very memorable episode on the show including a wonderfully comic scene of the two old men muppets, Statler & Waldorf, who heckle Berle from their comedy box.
Berle got on famously with Henson and the Muppets crew, so much so that they invited him to appear in the first Muppets feature film, THE MUPPET MOVIE. The Berle episode was a record high ratings achievement. This is an historic association copy.
