message: In a commercial 1969 film made by Henson for IBM "The Paperwork Explosion", an old man appears who is very clearly the model for Waldorf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IZw2CoYztk  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pemboid (talk • contribs) 10:07, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Origins of Waldorf

message: ""It is believed that the full names of the two are Jason D. Statler and Jon D. Waldorf, named after the founders of the Statler and Waldorf hotels.""
I checked and Statler and Waldrof hotels weren't founded by "Jon D Waldorf" or "Jason D Statler" but by Ellsworth Milton Statler and the Waldorf-Astoria cousins, Willaim and John Jacob... No single Jason, no single D as a middle name. This needs quotations, justifications, etc.Undead Herle King 12:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

What the heck does that mean?
: Seconded. For reference, the quote was added by 85.220.107.98 on 22 August 2006; this was the only edit from that IP address, and also added "better get out your old army uniform" (which I don't get either) and "Where is the land of the rising sun?" (which I do, and which sounds like just the sort of joke S&W would crack). Emurphy42 15:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  quote explanation 

message: The first time I saw the movie Trading Places I was struck by how Randolph and Mortimer Duke (played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) resembled Statler and Waldorf.  Or rather, Statler and Waldorf could serve as caricatures of Randolph and Mortimer.  They even sound similar. I know it's coincidental; after all, he casting director of Trading Places didn't pick those two guys for their resemblance to the Muppet duo... or did they? Anyone else notice this? Or is this original research on my part? -209.225.225.89 23:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Should the article mention Staldorf and Watler? They are two characters from Storm Hawks television show. stormhawks.com describes them as "prickly" so I'm guessing they are inspired by Statler and Waldorf. --EarthFurst (talk) 05:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  "It is commonly, although erroneously, believed that the models for these characters were Dr. Ainsley James Grant and the Right Honorable Joseph O'Banion." 

message: Do we know that is really them at the 2:38 mark in the film? We need a citation from an independent 3rd party confirming that it's not a coincidential lookalike. SpikeJones (talk) 20:45, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

message: It was an old gag in vaudeville acts to name a character after the classiest hotel in the city they were playing. Even the Marx Brothers called Margaret Dumont "Mrs. Rittenhouse" in some of their movies.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.128.62.1 (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
