  We only have one guest, it's just Stacy and Stacy.
• 1:50
  I am going to be asking you eight questions about Hanukkah
• 1:55
  or things may be related to Hanukkah.
• 1:58
  If you get more than half If of these questions, right, you will
• 2:02
  win a fabulous prize. All right, let's get right into
• 2:08
  it. So Stacey your first question.
• 2:12
  Well, none of the Muppet Show gang are officially considered
• 2:16
  to be Jewish, which character celebrated Hanukkah in a Muppets
• 2:20
  Christmas letters to Santa. I believe that was Zoo rattles
• 2:31
  like the menorah with dr. Tithi observing.
• 2:35
  He also says, happy Hanukkah earlier in the in special,
• 2:38
  right? I'd have to say, I did fall
• 2:42
  asleep. The first time we aired that
• 2:45
  special but these were in the days where I was kind of always
• 2:48
  falling asleep after a certain hour.
• 2:52
  It's also don't, it's not great, it's not bad but it's not
• 2:55
  hurting. I didn't miss a ton but over the
• 2:58
  years I have gone back and caught some of the things I
• 3:00
  missed. You know, it's funny because I
• 3:03
  got to see Paul Williams speak at the Museum of the moving
• 3:06
  image and he was saying like that, the music he did for
• 3:09
  Muppets Christmas. letters to Santa is like some of the things
• 3:12
  he's proudest of and They don't know.
• 3:19
  I don't know, man. Wow, and there's so many amazing
• 3:23
  Paula Williams songs out there especially with Kenny Asher.
• 3:27
  Mmm-hmm, interesting. I mean, you can re-watch it,
• 3:32
  it's on Disney plus. Yeah.
• 3:33
  Anyway, it will, actually, let's move on to our second question.
• 3:37
  Name, a kind of candy that you could buy eight of, from the
• 3:42
  Penny Candy, Man. In the classic Sesame Street
• 3:45
  song, Oh boy. I don't know that I definitely
• 3:52
  know this song actually, but this is Hanukkah themed.
• 3:58
  So I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say, like, the gold
• 4:03
  coins Hanukkah gelt. No, unfortunately, this is only
• 4:06
  Hanukkah themed because it has the number 8 in it.
• 4:10
  There's a couple of there's a couple of good answers, eight
• 4:12
  bright balls of bubblegum a penny lollipop.
• 4:16
  Eight, lemon drops. Any of those things you could
• 4:19
  listen to the song for all the possible, right?
• 4:21
  Answers, let's move on to a third question.
• 4:24
  Who is the only Jewish main character Muppet on Sesame
• 4:29
  Street? Oh, well, I don't know if this
• 4:36
  is considered a main character, but is it baby bear?
• 4:38
  It is baby bear. I am considering baby bear to be
• 4:41
  a main character. He was for a while there and I
• 4:44
  guess by extension. Mama Bear.
• 4:46
  Aaron Papa Bear. Sure.
• 4:47
  Yes. One would think and curly bear
• 4:51
  question for is about light because Hanukkah is the Festival
• 4:55
  of Lights on Fraggle. Rock what is the name of the
• 4:59
  tiny flying species? That provide light for Fraggle
• 5:03
  Rock and live on music? This is a hard one.
• 5:10
  I feel like there's a picture that's going into my mind.
• 5:13
  I think is like the Sesame Street little bugs.
• 5:16
  Are they called that one? Yeah.
• 5:18
  Yeah but that's like what popped into my brain now I actually
• 5:22
  have not walked Fraggle Rock since its original since my
• 5:27
  original viewing of it as a child.
• 5:30
  Well they have the unfortunate name of ditzies.
• 5:35
  Which is not a good name but that's a good episode.
• 5:40
  The one with the did cease if you ever do get around to re
• 5:42
  watching them question, 5 of all of the major human characters on
• 5:49
  Sesame Street, who is the only one who is Jewish?
• 5:58
  I guess this would be mr. Hooper it is mr.
• 6:02
  I became asleep. Bob what is dead and they
• 6:08
  Christmas. Is it Christmas Eve on Sesame
• 6:10
  Street? Is that what it's called?
• 6:11
  I remember him kind of wishing him.
• 6:16
  Happy Christmas. Happy Hanukkah.
• 6:23
  Lee is Jewish. All right, let's go back to
• 6:27
  talking a little bit about eight, which one thing that has
• 6:32
  eight legs is an octopus and on The Muppet Show, they sang
• 6:36
  Octopus's Garden in a classic sketch which are or who are the
• 6:41
  four major Muppet Show, characters, who appear in that
• 6:45
  number? Why couldn't you ask me about
• 6:48
  the octopus Blues? I I see.
• 6:51
  I thought that would be too hard.
• 6:52
  I was I was looking through. Ooh, octopus stuff.
• 6:54
  I performed octopus blues at a Sesame Street Jeff Moss Cabaret
• 7:03
  that I did in the city. A bunch of years ago.
• 7:06
  Let's see. This is going to just have to be
• 7:10
  a gas, that's fine. So you said four main muppet
• 7:14
  show characters. Yeah.
• 7:17
  Yeah. Like there's also like a singing
• 7:18
  octopus and like some singing plans but I don't count those as
• 7:22
  like major It show characters, okay?
• 7:25
  I mean, it could be anybody but I'm going to say I'm gonna say
• 7:31
  we're all off. Fozzie.
• 7:38
  Scooter. And Peggy.
• 7:41
  Well, one of those four is right.
• 7:43
  It's incredible. It's Kermit piggy, Robin and
• 7:48
  animal what an authority man. It's weird.
• 7:52
  But you Robin. I'm sorry.
• 7:54
  But you robbing an animal interact because I can't think
• 7:57
  of no, they don't, you know, they do, not.
• 8:01
  All right. Also, speaking of 81 of rolf's
• 8:05
  signature songs is eight little Notes on The Muppet, Show a bus.
• 8:10
  Of which composer sings eight little notes with Ralph?
• 8:20
  The composer is also mentioned in the song, eight little notes.
• 8:24
  If that helps you not as long as I know that well.
• 8:27
  But now that you say that I was like vacillating between Bach
• 8:32
  and Mozart, but I feel like Bach would kind of sound weird in a
• 8:36
  song and you might not be sure what you're like, what you're
• 8:39
  hearing. So I'm going to say Mozart it's
• 8:42
  actually Beethoven. I feel like you're missed the
• 8:45
  easiest answer. Oh, okay. and our last question,
• 8:53
  On The Muppet Babies reboot recently, last week, as of, as
• 9:01
  of this episode's release one character was recently confirmed
• 9:05
  to be Jewish in a Hanukkah themed episode.
• 9:10
  I didn't read tough pigs. This week, I'm probably missing
• 9:13
  out because of it. His chest.
• 9:16
  Can I start? You don't have to answer this
• 9:18
  but if you're willing to answer one, yes or no question.
• 9:22
  Is it a care? That's new to the series.
• 9:26
  Like it was yesterday. Yesterday, let me try to guess
• 9:32
  this because I've seen enough a little clips of the show to know
• 9:37
  that some characters have been integrated into the show from
• 9:42
  other Productions. It's a character who does not
• 9:46
  appear ever like on The Muppet Show, if that helps right.
• 9:49
  Okay. Is it today?
• 9:52
  Create a Beverly plume character for them?
• 9:57
  I wish the great like the correct answer, you're
• 10:02
  overthinking this. The correct answer is Nanny
• 10:05
  really well. So miss Nanny and we learn in
• 10:11
  this episode. Also that old nanny is what if
• 10:14
  Miss nannies relatives, but they celebrate Hanukkah Miss nanny,
• 10:19
  of course, voiced by Jenny slate, and the in the reboot,
• 10:22
  and yeah, there's a Hanukkah themed episode where she teaches
• 10:25
  the babies about. Hanukkah.
• 10:27
  I feel like that might have been Jenny slate idea.
• 10:30
  Possibly quite quite possible anyway.
• 10:33
  So Stacy, you did not get more than half of the questions,
• 10:39
  correct. However, however, it is the
• 10:43
  season of giving. And so I am going to be giving
• 10:47
  you this wonderful prize a magnet of the king of eight from
• 10:54
  Sesame Street, Hanukkah's, all about the number 8.
• 10:59
  Yes, that will be that will be coming your way soon and so
• 11:06
  Stacy do you have anything that you want to?
• 11:08
  You want to plug any where you want to be found, or just do you
• 11:11
  want me to just thank you so much for writing such a
• 11:13
  wonderful theme song for hubba-wha.
• 11:16
  I don't need to plug anything but I do just want.
• 11:19
  This is might be the only moment I get to share that.
• 11:22
  I had the Shalom Sesame Hannah, Erica VHS tape with Jeremy
• 11:30
  Miller from growing pains and it was one of my favorite things as
• 11:33
  a child. Yeah.
• 11:34
  I kind of wanted to ask some Shalom Sesame questions, but I
• 11:38
