CyranosedeBergerac — Cyranose de Bergerac

Hector Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac (b. Savinien de Cyrano, 1619-1655) was a French dramatist, best remembered from fictional accounts of his life story (the most famous being a play by Edmond Rostand), and is known more commonly as Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano de Bergerac, however, is a fictional character. One of the few common traits between the fictional Bergerac and his flesh and blood inspiration is that both have a large nose.

References

Cyrano was spoofed on Sesame Street with the character Cyranose de Bergerac, who made a few appearances, including an episode of "Monsterpiece Theater". One of his later appearances, episode 3233, borrows heavily from the storyline of the play, where Cyranose falls in love with Roxanne, a big-eared girl named after the love interest of the play. He enlists the help of Elmo, who performs the role of Cyrano as he helps Cyranose get rid of his accent.

The fifth season Muppet Babies episode "Beauty and the Schnoz" has Baby Gonzo taking advice from Cyrano de Bergerac (José Ferrer, redubbed by Frank Welker) in the 1950 film version (as seen on the nursery TV). The episode also uses scenes from Roxanne, the 1987 Steve Martin comedy which was a modern version of the Cyrano play.

In episode 105 of Muppets Tonight, Rizzo tries to coach Bobo, Cyrano de Bergerac-style, through his crush on Cindy Crawford.

In an episode of the French version of Fraggle Rock, Doc is rehearsing for his upcoming stage performance as a swashbuckling Cyrano de Bergerac.

When Kermit the Frog appeared as a guest programmer for Turner Classic Movies in 2007, he chose to show the 1950 film adaptation, starring José Ferrer.
