Show 426: Lisa Genoese

The Super Show Season 4 Episode 26: Lisa Genoese

**Lisa Genoese Introduction**

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. Lisa Genoese stars in this next episode of The Super Show. (Clip) In this episode she performs "Love Hangover" which truly features the largest Muppets ever made. They're called the Gawky Birds & The Bossmen. The Bossmen are the really tall ones & the way they're performed is really awesome - puppeteers stand behind characters dressed in black, working controls that are painted black, so you don't actually see the puppeteer. It's an amazing effect. In this episode, the audiece is so packed with Lisa Genoese fans, that they keep scores in this one for Lisa Genoese. (Clip) They really like Lisa Genoese joining Bees in Space & Billy Biggle testing his strength at the carnival. So, sit back & enjoy The Super Show with Lisa Genoese.
