Liberal Jewish Democratic PUPPET!

Last edited Fri May 1, 2026, 10:52 PM - Edit history (1)

"My mom was one of the world's greatest entertainers. I don't want to challenge that. I don't think it's wise to go there. But I do want to do everything that I can do for Lamb Chop. I'll help keep her going."[6]

Shari Lewis's other puppet, Hush Puppy, made his comeback at the Iowa State Fair in 2010. Until 2024 Mallory Lewis did not perform Charlie Horse, as doing his voice was hard on her vocal cords. He did make a comeback via social media videos in early 2024. Lewis's daughter still owns the live performing rights to the Lamb Chop characters.[7]

Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop perform mainly for the US military. Lamb Chop is an honorary three-star general in the Marines.[8]

Mallory Lewis described Lamb Chop's values as a "liberal Jewish Democrat".[9]

And stumbled across a video of Shari from 1960.

Tears started rolling down this old face.

I've seen :Lambchop stuffed toys at the pet store..
I wanted to get one for my cats, but decided I just couldn't stand to see that adorable little lamb hunted by my ferocious kitties.

I'm delighted to learn that Lamb Chop & company are still alive and well. First Sergeant Cook looks a little shell-shocked, though. Or maybe just a bit camera shy?

Her act was unique in that it was primarily close up. That is very difficult to pull off and few have that kind of nerve and talent. I miss her but was not aware that Lamb Chop lives on with her daughter. I'll have to check out some vids. Good news!
