The Land of Gorch was a recurring adult puppetry skit that appeared in the first season of the American comedy television program Saturday Night Live, featuring Jim Henson's Muppets.
Scred sings "I Got You Babe" with Lily Tomlin on the episode that aired on November 22, 1975.
Jim Henson created The Land of Gorch out of a desire to appeal to a more mature audience.
Lorne Michaels said "I'd always liked and been a fan of [the Muppets] and Jim's work."
Frank Oz said The Land of Gorch was not a good fit for Saturday Night Live, and was happy to move on to The Muppet Show after its conclusion.
