this is referring to the American/Canadian live-action/animated children's television series: #Zaboomafoo

"Zaboomafoo" is peerless as he's the only talking animal and also titular star of the television-show but also "empty, heartless, and fearless" because he's a f**king puppet.

"One who knows" is the puppeteer; the "servant next to the throne" of #Zaboomafoo

this is because the show would not exist without the puppet; in this way, the puppeteer is controlled by the puppet.
