Statler and Waldorf

Statler and Waldorf are a pair of Muppet characters. They are two grumpy old men who fight and laugh at mean things on their balcony.[1] They both appeared in all The Muppet Show episodes except for one in which Statler did not appear because he was sick, so Waldorf appeared with his wife who looks like Statler in a dress.[2] Statler and Waldorf are named after two important hotels in New York (the Waldorf-Astoria and the Statler Hilton). They are mostly known for appearing as Marley and Marley in The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Statler is an old man who wears a black suit. Waldorf has a mustache and wears a brown suit. Statler was originally performed by Richard Hunt and Adam Hunt. Waldorf was originally performed by Jim Henson and is now performed by Steve Whitmire and Matt Vogel.

The puppets were designed by Bonnie Erickson. They were named after two famous New York City hotels, the Statler Hilton and the Waldorf-Astoria.[3]
