The Idea Man is a three minute short film by Jim Henson which was used for a live performance with The Floating Face on The Mike Douglas Show on July 20, 1966.

During a segment in which the Floating Face runs through a list of ideas that have already been thought of, brief cameos are made by Yorick, Kermit, E=mc², Kukla, John F. Kennedy, and Alfred E. Neuman of Mad Magazine.
