Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼It’s good that Mr. Diehl specified this character’s appearance in “Muppets Tonight”; this is a ’90s reboot of my beloved original “Muppet Show” of the 1970s, which did not include PEPE the King Prawn. This character is a little bit of a queasy stereotype, surprising for the Muppets. But even weirder is that he became the spokesMuppet for a seafood fast-food chain, Long John Silver’s, in the early aughts. It’s discomfiting when the animal you’re going to eat is encouraging you to do so, in my hypocritical opinion.
