Oh Fozzie.

Hitchcock can’t help you know Swinburne.

It will always be hilarious to me that they had to pass off Bruce Forsyth as an internationally beloved entertainer.

Remembering a funny thing my dad used to say a lot when I was a kid/teen. He would say euphemistically that he/someone would "arrange himself/themself into a well known phase or saying", usually in reference to clothing or body parts. It came up in conversation recently and I was reminded that this is actually a reference to Tonight at the London Palladium (1955 to 1969) when Bruce Forsyth hosted The Generation Game where one of the contestants would have to "rearrange words stuck to a magnetic board and people had to 'arrange them into a well known phrase or saying' in 30 seconds.
