I don't know if this has been posted already, i tried googling and came up a bust:

Back in around '85, there was a comedic special shown on TV here in the states featuring puppet versions of all the hot stars out at that time, and i can't remember the name of it. I want to see if i can find a copy of it somewhere, if anyone can help with a name.

It featured a puppet version of Madonna running around in her "Like A Virgin" lace outfit/wedding dress, Michael Jackson getting a nose job and complaining because Morgan Fairchild's nose was smaller than his & he wanted to beat her size, and of course, there was Prince in his purple trench from '84, running around with a tongue longer than his arm dangling out of his head with a lace glove on the end and chasing a giggling Madonna around.

One of the few jokes i remember is at the buffet table, a guest (don't remember who) was looking at a bowl and said something like, "Hey, this jell-o's melted." The response from another guest was, "That's not jell-o. Bruce Springstein finally cleared all that stuff out of his throat."

Not to show your age, but is there anyone here who remembers this thing, and could possibly give me a clue on what it was? Thanks in advance to those who can help.

Spitting Image?

The program you refer to is called "Spitting Image."

It was a weekly TV program here in the UK in the 80's and featured latex rubber hand puppets of rock/film stars and politicians in satirical situations.

Prince and his tongue were regulars.

I also remember one where a microphone comes home to find his wife fooling around with Prince.

"How can you do this to me? How Can you this to our kids 5 kids?"
