Hobo Joe

Template:Performer Hobo Joe is a human character in The Muppets. He is the only person in the audience as the Muppets begin their telethon to save The Muppet Theater. During the show's opening theme song, he sings the line "Why don't you get things started?" in a female soprano voice (dubbed by Joanna Newsom). Later on, he pretends to be a ticket collector, and offers to show audience members where their seats are for 5 dollars (once he receives the money, he says "They're somewhere over there.")
