Lamb Chop's Comeback: A Nostalgic Revival On TikTok
January 24, 2024
In the world of puppetry and children's entertainment, one name stands out – Shari Lewis. The Peabody-winning American ventriloquist and puppeteer left an indelible mark with her beloved creation, the sock puppet Lamb Chop.
Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop became a household duo, capturing hearts with their endearing performances. In 1992, the dynamic pair took their talents to PBS with "Lamb Chop's Play-Along," a children's show that not only entertained but also earned an impressive streak of five consecutive Emmy Awards.
Tragically, the world lost Shari Lewis to cancer in 1998 at the age of 65. However, the legacy of Lamb Chop lives on, and there's a delightful twist to the tale.
Fast forward to the present, and Lamb Chop is making a triumphant return – this time on the digital stage of TikTok. Shari Lewis's daughter, Mallory Lewis, has taken the reins and is introducing a new generation to the charm of Lamb Chop. What makes this revival even more heartwarming is that Mallory still possesses the original Lamb Chop doll, a tangible link to the past.
