Zoot is a fairly shy
muppet, preferring to
express himself through the
sweet sounds of his
tenor saxophone, rather than with
words. If you catch one of his
shows, you'll rarely see him without his
cool shades.
He's a member of the muppet band, Electric Mayhem. He also lends his musical talents to the orchestra pit of The Muppet Show. At the end of every show, as the credits roll and the theme song is played, you will see that he has been given the great honor of playing the last note.
Word on the street is that he was named after the old jazz legend, Zoot Simms.
They'll never officially admit it, but Red Hat Linux Release 6.2 was named after him.
"Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it." --Zoot, "The Muppet Show"
