The success of Sesame Street spawned The Muppet Show, which featured Muppets created by Henson. He also co-created with Michael Jacobs the television show Dinosaurs during his final years.

A man, in his fifties,
enters the bar in a very gloomy mood.
He turns to the bartender: “make me the strongest drink you have, and make it a double! ”
“What happened? What is this all about?”
“Well, I found out that my eldest son is gay.”

The bartender makes the man his drink, then he went back home, crying.

A week later he returned, with even longer face
and with a sad voice said to the bartender:

– Make me the strongest drink you have, and make it a double!”
– What happened? Still depressing news on your son?
– Worse .. I found out that my second son was gay …
– “Unpleasant,” said the bartender, making him his strong drink again, to ease his sorrow.
A few days later the man returned for the third time,
Looking all indignant and asking for his usual extra strong drink again.

- “Say, the bartender asked him,
“Don’t you have anyone at home who likes women??”
“There is!”, the depressed man replied quietly, “my wife …”
