Maya Rudolph's Next Comedy Show Is Full of Muppets
"It's good to be back in the Muppets theater - after all, the cast of Freaks and Geekshas been working their butts off to save it. Produced by Seth Rogen, the fuzzy goofballs are back for a new Muppets special, simply called The Muppet Show, premiering on ABC and Disney+. It's their first official variety show back since Muppets Now, and they're bringing some new blood into the mix: Sabrina Carpenter, who reminds them that she's a young Hollywood starlet."
""I grew up watching you, my parents grew up watching, their parents -" she tells Miss Piggy before the passage of time catches up with her. Kermit quickly reminds the audience how important the special is, as it might determine the future of The Muppet Show "depending on how the night goes." The trailer promises traditional silly antics, like Gonzo's daring stunts and Beaker's dysfunctional science experiments, and musical performances."
The Muppets return with a new special, The Muppet Show, produced by Seth Rogen and staged to save their theater. The special marks the first official variety-format Muppet program since Muppets Now and brings new guest stars, including Sabrina Carpenter and Maya Rudolph. The trailer highlights classic Muppet elements: daring stunts from Gonzo, Beaker's chaotic experiments, musical performances, and romantic gestures like Beautiful Day Monster greeting Maya Rudolph. Kermit frames the broadcast as pivotal to the show's future. The special premieres February 4 on Disney+ at 3 a.m. ET and on ABC at 9 p.m. ET.
