Revision as of 04:05, 27 April 2012
Gonzo is one of the major characters from the television series The Muppet Show. He is an odd-looking, unidentifiable alien creature with blue fur and a long crooked nose. He takes pride in his uniqueness and enjoys everything that he does, no matter how painful or ill-advised it may be. As one of the main characters from the show, he appeared in almost every Christmas special featuring the Muppets since the late 1970s.
Appearances
In John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together, he sings along in the chorus of most songs, having his own "day" of Christmas to cover in "The Twelve Days of Christmas" - of course, his line being "Three French Hens". He also has a close call with the volatile Miss Piggy during "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" when the porcine-correct diva mistakes his request for figgy pudding as "piggy pudding".
In A Muppet Family Christmas, Gonzo must keep his beloved chicken Camilla from the clutches of the smooth-talking Christmas Turkey. The Turkey ends up making Gonzo so mad, he happily lets the Swedish Chef deal with him.
In The Muppet Christmas Carol, Gonzo is the "omniscient" narrator, claiming to be none other than Charles Dickens himself - a claim Rizzo the Rat finds dubious, to say the least. He and Rizzo are often notably on the set while the action is taking place, sometimes getting the worst of it, especially Rizzo. In one instance he actively corrects a flubbed line from Sam the Eagle, who, in his patriotic fervor, forgot that the story takes place in Britain. He and Rizzo decide to wait out the Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come sequence as it gets too scary, but promptly return after Scrooge wakes up Christmas morning.
In It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Gonzo is among those in the other world whose life is affected by Kermit the Frog never being born. In the movie's alternate reality, he is homeless and can barely get by.
In A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa, Gonzo's mistake in not sending the letters and his determination to make it right drive much of the plot.
