Dude! Joe's Jottings, Mostly Junk

Jim Hill : How sometimes being in the wrong place is the right thing to do:

In this week's "Why For" column, Jim Hill shares a story that Wally Boag once told him. Which explains how -- thanks to being accidentally upstaged by Steve Martin -- this Disney Legend wound up appearing on "The Muppet Show"

Wally Boag was the star for a great many years of the Golden Horseshoe Review in Disneyland's Frontierland (taking breaks to train the WDW cast as well through the 70s). In the 5th season of the Muppet Show, he was a guest star and it really is one of the best episodes of the season (which is a tough thing, 'cause a LOT of them are good). Search YouTube for some excerpts. You can catch Wally in his prime act on one of last year's Disney Treasures dvds.

BTW, that episode is the same one where the UK release had the incredibly funny "O Danny Boy" (Animal, Swedish Chef, Beaker) I posted around St. Pat's Day.
