- Ten years later, in October 1972, Jim Henson met with Gelbart to discuss Henson's own proposed Broadway Show. Gelbart dropped out of the project by February 1973 (after M*A*SH had aired), but remained in touch with Henson. Henson later consulted Gelbart as writer for yet another stage project, Bodo in 1981. An agreement was drawn up listing Gelbart and Henson as co-book writers and sharing half the profits, but by 1983 he and Henson had again gone separate ways.

| - Larry Simon Gelbart (born February 25, 1928 - died September 11, 2009) was a prolific comedy writer and television show producer with over sixty years of credits.
- Ten years later, in October 1972, Jim Henson met with Gelbart to discuss Henson's own proposed Broadway Show. Gelbart dropped out of the project by February 1973 (after M*A*SH had aired), but remained in touch with Henson. Henson later consulted Gelbart as writer for yet another stage project, Bodo in 1981. An agreement was drawn up listing Gelbart and Henson as co-book writers and sharing half the profits, but by 1983 he and Henson had again gone separate ways. Gelbart began his career as a gag writer on radio in the mid-1940s, including Duffy's Tavern, The Jack Paar Show, and a lengthy stint on The Bob Hope Show (1948-1952). He moved into television, during the heyday of comedy variety shows, writing for Caesar's Hour, Bob Hope's shows (again), three Art Carney specials, The Danny Kaye Show, The Red Buttons Show, and later The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine. For M*A*S*H*, Gelbart's many contributions included writing the notable episodes "Dear Dad" and "The Interview", while other sitcoms included the unaired pilot for Three's Company, the short-lived series Karen, and the equally short-lived spin-off AfterMASH. Gelbart's film credits included writing or co-writing screenplays for The Wrong Box (starring Michael Caine and Dudley Moore), Tootsie (with help from Elaine May and others), Oh, God! (starring John Denver and George Burns), and Movie Movie (starring George C. Scott). On stage, in addition to Forum, Gelbart wrote the Broadway plays Sly Fox (1976) and City of Angels (1989). One of his last projects was scripting the TV movie And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself.
