[edit] Conflict

The article for [Frank Oz] states that he is the source of Fozzie's name.

The article for Frank Oz has now been corrected. (For future reference, there's a FAQ on the official Henson site that has a section about the origin of Fozzie's name.) --Paul A 04:15, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fozzie's creation

Is there a reference that says who specifically created Fozzie? —tregoweth 21:38, Oct 16, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Content

Removed this unencyclopedic coment from the article, could be rephrased into useful info.

There is a hilarious running joke about Fozzy - whenever he takes of his trademark hat (which is rarely), he is revealed to have a balding pate by the shape of his head - implying a baldness despite a full coat of hair !

[edit] Question

Shouldn't this article be merged with the article Fozzy Bear? I'm not sure if there's even a difference between either of the articles!

[edit] Wocka Wokka Wacka?

"Wakka wakka wakka" was recently changed to "Wocka Wocka Wocka"[1] but does anyone have a cite so we can know for sure? Maybe an original script from the show or a movie? Searching on Google isn't very helpful (G.D. that Pac-Man!) Ewlyahoocom 23:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

It's written as "Wocka Wocka" in all of the Muppet Show storybooks, including Muppet Madness (1980), The Case of the Missing Hat (1982), and If You Were Fozzie (1995). Toughpigs 15:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to be 100% clear on this: do you mean it always appears as "Wocka Wocka" (2 Wocka's), or does it vary? Ewlyahoocom 00:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

He says it three times. I admit I've seen it written Wakka, but never in the storybook which I'm fine in accepting as canon. Someone can note its twice use in books if they really feel compelled, but its definitely thrice when spoken. LOL, sometimes I can't believe the subjects of discussion :-) --Bobak 18:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of his name?

I've heard he was named Fozzie because of Frank Oz's name (F. Oz), but this article suggests otherwise.
