Holy moly! He’s almost a dead ringer for Henry VIII!

[Asukenick]

This is the first of three consecutive episodes in which a different female performer auditioned. The performer in this episode was Richenda Carey, who performed the voice of the Queen (a full-bodied, female version of the Featherstone puppet). She did not, however, perform the puppet.

The queen puppet in this always scared me

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've been trying to find this clip.

I haven’t seen this clip in so long I legit thought I just made up Zero singing this song with a muppet. Love this segment, love Zero, am confused by the weird edits.

1:00-1:31,
Ris, Paillasse,
de ton amour brisé!
Ris de la douleur, qui te ronge le cœur!

Zero would've made a great King Henry VIII if they had done a bio on his ass.

Ok, I was just watching this episode while playing video games and the voice of the queen singing the part "simple folk shook me lol
It's now the next day and I've had the sound of her voice burned in my head. This clip doesn't have the queens part.

The voice was hauntingly and uniquely beautiful. Lol

I can imagine Keehar singing even though Watership Down is not a musical.

[chumbusi]

I mean, it's better than what I do when I'm sad.

[donnalichvarcik]

Sam would have been a good Henry the 8th he definitely looked the part

[sha]

At least he didn't burn the damn castle down.

Apart from The Muppet Show name another TV show that Zero Mostel started on?

Why did you feel the need to edit half the number out? If you need to practice editing you can do it on
Rudolf Nureyev or Leslie Ann Warren or Marcel Marceau or Mummenschanz? I know! You could edit out that stupid modern dance number during Nocturne in the Liberace episode or *anything* with Scrappy the Frog, or Robin or whatever that Muppet's name is! But if you'd be so kind in the future as *not* edit the numbers performed by actual legends, I'll help you in get that courtesan from Lycus.
