You might wanna change Lola "Rabbit".

A surprising but welcome nomination is the one for Jason Segel and The Muppets' song from SNL, "I Can't Believe I'm Hosting": http://www.hulu.com/watch/302534.

Probably my favorite moment from the show last season. (Kermit: "No, no, no, listen, it makes perfect sense that they would pick Jason [to host], Piggy! I mean, when people go to a Muppet movie, they say, 'Gee! I can't wait to see the human!'")

Kind of funny they went with Too Young for Adventure Time just because it's such a ridiculous episode:
