Guest: Milton Berle
27min -
Fozzie is thrilled and terrified when he learns his idol, Milton Berle, is The Muppet Show’s guest star! In fact, he’s so overcome with awe that he spends most of the episode in disguise, hiding from the “King of Comics,” rather than come face-to-face with his hero! But when they finally meet, it’s a match made in comedy/song-and-dance heaven, with the two comic greats performing the Vaudeville classic, “Top Banana.” So get set to launch your funny bone into orbit with the laugh-out-loud premiere of Pigs in Space, featuring the intrepid (and incompetent) Captain Link Hogthrob, who is forever butting heads and snouts with his very cute (and much smarter) second-in-command, First Mate Piggy; with the barrage of heckling that Statler and Waldorf hurl at guest star Berle; and with Miss Piggy’s hilarious reprise of “The Entertainer,” infused with her signature style of over-the-top razzle-dazzle!
