Overview
Featuring music, songs, and sketches with live actors and puppets (known as the "Mits"), the show was originally hosted by Arte Johnson. The duo of the bearded musician Larry (Larry Santos) and green fuzzy puppet Seymour (voiced by producer Bob Elnicky) took over after the first season.
Glenn Denver, a puppet parody of John Denver, released an album titled Glenn Denver Sings Country Songs from the Hot Fudge T.V. Show. Three other Hot Fudge albums were released; The Electric Fuzz's Rock 'N Roll from the Hot Fudge T.V. Show, Larry and Seymour Sing Songs from the Hot Fudge T.V. Show, and Hooray For Friendship and 9 Other Hits from the Hot Fudge T.V. Show. All of the albums have been released on CD.
A Hot Fudge episode was submitted to the University of Georgia for a Peabody Award in 1974; though not selected for the award itself, it was retained for the university's Peabody Awards Collection Archives. The show won a Puppeteers of America ACT AWARD in 1976.
