Episode 43 - Ernst Stavro Kojak

It may be a new year for the world, but it's still 1994 around these parts! Sarah & Joe take a quick look at the life and times of famed actor and pitchman Telly Savalas, who left behind quite the body of interesting work 28 years ago! Almost certainly best remembered for his massive hit detective show of the 1970's Kojak, Savalas' lengthy career before and after is explored, through discussions of his one-shot as James Bond nemesis Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, landing the role of Pontius Pilate in The Greatest Story Every Told, and his status as a legendary bald sex symbol. Along the way, much time is given to his very brief appearance in The Muppet Movie, the who's who that attended his funeral, speculation about whether the Sesame Street character is named for him, who the hell the other Muppets are named after, the best joke from the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses, and how much Kevin Sorbo sucks. Brief, frenetic, and scattershot forty-third episode!
