SID & MARTY KROFFT AND SUPERMODEL/ACTRESS ANGIE EVERHART

TO HEADLINE EXCLUSIVE PANEL ON FRIDAY, JULY 22 AT 10AM

IN ROOM 23ABC ONLY AT COMIC-CON IN SAN DIEGO

(Los Angeles, CA) – Sid & Marty Krofft will appear at Comic-Con International in San Diego on Friday, July 22 to take part in a panel to discuss their past, present and future. The panel will begin at 10 a.m. in Room: 23ABC at the San Diego Convention Center and will be hosted by supermodel/actress Angie Everhart. “When Angie was getting ready to shoot Happily Divorced (on TV Land with Fran Drescher) -- which airs on July 27th by the way -- we met on the CBS lot” said Marty Krofft. “Now that she has a young son, she has once again become very interested in kids programming. When I found out that the Krofft shows were a huge influence on her growing up I thought she would be great to host our panel at Comic-Con so I asked her and here she is.” Sid & Marty Krofft changed Saturday mornings forever when the sibling puppeteers unleashed colorful characters like H.R. Pufnstuf and The Bugaloos on a generation of sugary-cereal-fueled kids growing up in the 1970s and ’80s. They will debut a brand new SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS: SEASON 1 DVD collection on September 6, the second release in their exclusive new partnership with Vivendi Entertainment. The arrival of SIGMUND in September will cap a busy few months for the Kroffts. It began in April with the launch of www.sidandmartykrofft.com, the online home for all the latest news from “The World of Sid and Marty Krofft.” One subject they are sure to touch on in this panel is the recent announcement that DreamWorks Animation is bringing the beloved 1970’s television series Lidsville to the big screen in a feature film. The Kroffts will also update fans about the H.R. Pufnstuf feature that is in development at Sony. Sid, Marty and Angie will be available for a select few interviews immediately following the panel in Pressroom 22. After the press interviews, Sid, Marty and Angie will be in the Huckleberry booth #3449, signing autographs from 1-2:30PM. There you will find Sid & Marty Krofft’s Secret Stash…a host of limited edition items ranging from artwork, t-shirts, action figures, 3D lenticular photos and more for sale. There will also be an exclusive free promo poster available to fans on a first-come, first serve basis (exclusive to Comic-Con) in support of SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS: SEASON 1 DVD.
