Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
Raymond Burr, Flip Wilson, and Big Bird.
Raymond Burr (1917-1993) was a Canadian actor, known for his roles in the television dramas Perry Mason and Ironside.
Burr appeared on The Flip Wilson Show alongside fellow guest stars Big Bird, Loretta Long, and even played Santa Claus inside Oscar's trash can. He also hosted the television special Keep U.S. Beautiful, on which the Muppets were featured.
Outside of his TV stardom, Burr is remembered for his film career, which started with character roles, often as heavies (including Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window), but his most iconic film part was as the reporter in Godzilla, King of the Monsters!. Prior to gaining TV fame, Burr had been a familiar Hollywood radio actor, often working with Jack Webb (as the brutal Inspector Hellman on Pat Novak, Private Eye and the chief of detectives on Dragnet).
