Great Moments in Elvis History

The "Elvis Caesar" sketch
The "Elvis Caesar" sketch

Great Moments in Elvis History was a recurring sketch on Muppets Tonight which spoofed the legend of rock star Elvis Presley. Its premise was to feature momentous occasions from world history, such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, reenacted by three Muppet Elvises. Strangely, next week's sketch would always be advertised at the end of each "Elvis" sketch- but these skits never appeared. "Elvis of Arabia", which was advertised at the end of "The Declaration of Independance" skit, and "Tarzan of Graceland", which was advertised at the end of the "Elvis The King..." sketch, were never shown in full.

Individual Skits

George Washington, Mr. Hancock, and Thomas Jefferson- all portrayed by Muppet Elvises- argue about who is the King, on the completion of the Declaration of Indpendance. At the end of the sketch, Benjamin Franklin walks in and announces that he has discovered electricity. The three Elvises are delighted, as they can now play electric guitars- they close the episode with a parody of "Blue Suede Shoes".
