Non-Puppet Michael Steele To Appear On The Daily Show Tuesday

Non-Puppet Michael Steele To Appear On The Daily Show Tuesday

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele is heading to The Daily Show Tuesday night, and will perhaps face-off with the now-retired puppet version of himself, modeled after Mr. Johnson, the blue muppet from Sesame Street who sends his soup back at Grover’s restaurant.

As puppet Michael Steele might say, Steele will probably just be “happy to be in the hizzle with my main man Johnny Beefstew!”
