The Muppets

[EricJ]

Kermit in drag is a throwback to his roots.

We've grown accustomed to his face...

[Ben]

Is it scary that Piggy's Kermit hoodie uses Kermit's ACTUAL EYES…!!

[Dacey]

Might be time for Kermit to finally call it off with her…

Another look from a trick-or-treat bag:



Fozzie with teeth! Eek!

[EricJ]

Y'know, it looks like they really ARE down to just five characters, now...

[Ben]

I’m sure there was a Muppet Show sketch where Fozzie had vampire fangs…? Nevertheless, this could be fun!

You're probably thinking of Vincent Price from the first season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoP9x11VZK0

Nah, I seem to remember Fozzie in a tux, I think, with top hat and fangs. Maybe it was from the end of that show, when the cast all came on at the end? Of course this could be an entirely different Muppet I’m thinking about that’s morphed into Fozzie in my mind over the years…!

In looking for some kind of images, I came across whatever this this was:

…but it’s not what I was thinking of. Gosh, that looks so wrong!

Jim Henson's Hampstead home given blue plaque:

It's an honour to have his British home recognised with a blue plaque, knowing that he so admired and respected the talent in London. My father moved to London to make The Muppet Show, and then chose to stay because he was so impressed by the UK's many gifted artists and performers

Nice.

Rowlf the Dog interviewed in celebration of Jim getting the blue plaque:



Brilliant and so sweet.

[Ben]

"How's it goin' for ya?"

Lovely!

[Daniel]

Pat Sajak will be voicing a character in the Haunted Mansion special. Should be a hoot!

(I confess: I ACTUALLY checked IMDb to see if he was still alive.)

Pat and Vanna were just in the news for signing contract extensions with Wheel of Fortune. At those contracts' conclusions, they will have done the show for about 40 years!
