Officer Ethel

Officer Ethel is a police officer who was supposed to appear in the 2011 film The Muppets, but her scene was cut, along with several others. She was played by Wanda Sykes.

She is seen in The Fuzzy Pack trailer interrogating the Muppets at a jail.

According to a November 2010 post by Thewrap.com, Jane Lynch was originally planned to appear in the role. However, Lynch denied the rumor in a red-carpet interview with MaximoTV.com.
