Lew Zealand

The Muppets | Character

Something Missing?

Lew Zealand’s act involves boomerang fish: "I throw them away, and they come back to me!" His first appearance was in episode 310 of The Muppet Show, where his timely boomerang fish throwing saved Kermit from being tricked into a real marriage during Miss Piggy's sleuthfully-designed "wedding sketch."

Lew Zealand was meant to only appear in that one episode, and he was made from a Whatnot designed by Dave Goelz. However, after that, a more permanent puppet was built and Lew Zealand became a regular character.
