    In the 80s, I saw an episode featuring Michu. At one point, Michu warns Letterman not to mess with him "because Michu has been around".
    A shame UA-cam doesn't have this gem. The kind of thing that made the old Letterman show worth watching.

    Aww this was so nice to see :) My parents are acquaintances with his manager, Michu was spending time with a closer family friend of ours and he came over our house a few times. We are Hungarian also. I just remember my grandmother had Alzheimer's and she saw him walking in the backyard by himself (taking in the view) and she grabbed his hand and said, "Where is this little boys parents?! He's going to get lost!" Poor guy, he couldn't explain it to her... This was years after this show, he was 60 something.

    I didn't know that this little man was in the costume, but of course they synchronized it with another voice. I would like to know how he felt about it. I guess it has been a slap in his face that they did it. I mean it could have been possible to take his original voice and his accent because he was from Melmak in the story we all know

    ALF was primarily a puppet, not a costume. The puppeteer and voice was and is Paul Fusco. Michu was only the full body ALF, only the brief scenes where ALF is walking across the room or something. 99% of the time ALF was a puppet.
