Themuppet show is also the name of a great party game you can play, should you find yourself stuck on an idiotic [[conference call]]. It's really rather easy. Just slipp in a sly reference to the muppet show.
You don't have to actually call anyone Fozzie Bear, however tempting it may be. Simply suggeting (when a suitable context arises) “I think it's time to get things started”, or “will we be able to definitively eliminate the tail risk? I guess we'll never know” or, if it’s a call with fans of [[buzzword]]s, “it’s time to play the music”. They'll like that and may even unwittingly adopt it.
An extra prize if you can mention three.

Extraordinary that it has taken until 10 October in the year of our lord 2018 - some seven years after it began - for there to be an article with this title on this wiki, but there you have it.

The cast, in order of appearance:
Dramatis personae: CEO | CFO | Client | Employees: Divers · Excuse pre-loaders · Survivors · Contractors · The Muppet Show | Middle management: COO · Consultant · MBA | Controllers: Financial reporting | Risk | Credit | Operations | IT | Legal: GC · Inhouse counsel · Docs unit · Litigator · Tax lawyer · US attorney Lawyer | Front office: Trading | Structuring | Sales |

Themuppet show is also the name of a great party game you can play, should you find yourself stuck on an idiotic conference call. It's really rather easy. Just slipp in a sly reference to the muppet show.

You don't have to actually call anyone Fozzie Bear, however tempting it may be. Simply suggeting (when a suitable context arises) “I think it's time to get things started”, or “will we be able to definitively eliminate the tail risk? I guess we'll never know” or, if it’s a call with fans of buzzwords, “it’s time to play the music”. They'll like that and may even unwittingly adopt it.

An extra prize if you can mention three.
