Mishka's debut appearance on TV. She got to sing with Kelly Rippa and Bette Midler. She also hung out with Adam Sandler in the green room.
What does Mishka mean?
Mishka is a Russian word. Misha or Mishka is a diminutive for the Russian male name Михаил (Mikhail - Michael). Most bears appearing in Russian fairy tales have this name, because it is similar to the Russian word for Bear - Медведь (Miedvied), of which the diminutive form is Mishka. Mishka means also teddy bear in Russian. [via]
