Gonzo The Great

Nobody’s really sure WHAT Gonzo is. (We’ve settled on saying he’s a “whatever.”) He’s an artist who’s out to do whatever has never been done before. He’s serious about being absurd and he’ll try anything — from bog-snorkelling to a death-defying parachute jump without a parachute (that’s what makes it death-defying). Gonzo knows no fear; he knows no pain. Shoot him from a cannon into a tank filled with sharks, slip live electric eels down his shorts and fill his shoes with lava — he loves it!

In Disney’s “The Muppets” the gang find that Gonzo’s career is down the drain - literally. “I play a plumbing magnate,” says the daredevil who returns to the role he single-handedly made famous. It takes some convincing — and an increase in health insurance coverage — to get Gonzo back on stage. As a pioneer of all things weird, he can’t resist the temptation of the wild and wacky stunts he performs to earn the eternal admiration (not to mention shock and awe) of his audience — and one very special chicken named Camilla.
