Who is Sam The Eagle

I would just like to say a few words about "nudity" in the world today. And I for one am just appalled by it.

Why, did you know that underneath their clothing the entire population of the world is walking around completely naked? Is that disgusting? And it's not just people, although goodness knows that's bad enough. Animals too, even cute little doggies and pussy cats, can't be trusted. Underneath their fur - absolutely naked!

And it's not just the quadrupeds either. Birds too - yes, beneath our fine feathers, birds wear nothing! Nothing at all. Abs... oh m... could someone, hand me a robe? ... Mmmhmm. --

To ensure that the quality and moral content of this show is beyond reproach, I, Sam the *American* eagle am proud to present the singing duet of Wayne and Wanda. Besides being tremendous singers, they're church people (First Muppet Show Cast Album, Wayne and Wanda - Trees)

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is I - Sam the American Eagle.

It's times like this I'm proud to be an American. (The Great Muppet Caper)

Sam: You'll love business, for it is the American way!
Charles Dickens (Gonzo): [whispers into Sam's ear]
Sam: "Oh, that is the British Way!" [thinks for a few seconds then looks at Charles Dickens]

You are all weirdos. (The Great Muppet Caper)
