We’ve lost yet another great comedic talent this week. Leslie Nielsen, the star of the Naked Gun movies, Airplane, and pretty much every goofball film, has passed away at the age of 84.
Nielsen doesn’t have the strongest Muppet connection, but it’s more than enough to warrant our respect and admiration. He made a brief appearance in the Muppets’ “She Drives Me Crazy” music video, and he had a starring role in Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree. Neither of these are worth your time, but we’re happy to have Nielsen represented on the Muppet Wiki.
