"If you watched "The Muppets" in decades past, you'd see such stars as Rita Moreno, Elton John and Liza Minnelli. Now, 50 year later, it's time to play the music and it's time to light the lights again! Kermit and company are back on stage at the Muppet Theatre with Kermit once again the consummate host, a modern day Ed Sullivan if you will. Or as Kermit suggested, "Maybe there's a young host you could compare me to? Maybe one of the Jimmys?""
"When it comes to performers, nobody really compares to the one and only Miss Piggy. She'll tell you she's an icon, a legend, a superstar, even a muse. In the new special, she shares a fun moment with singer Sabrina Carpenter. "You're my idol! Yeah, I basically modeled my whole look and style after you," Carpenter tells Miss Piggy. The Muppet star then tells her, "Oh, trust me, my attorneys and I have taken notice and we will be in touch.""
"Fans of the original series will be happy to know the entire Muppet ensemble is back and ready to rock! "I can promise you I'll be there. What else do you need?" Miss Piggy said. Kermit went on to tell us we could also expect singing and comedy, plus Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph. Not to be outdone, Miss Piggy interjected. "That's just like frosting on the top," she said, adding, "I'm the cake.""
Kermit and the Muppet ensemble return to the Muppet Theatre for a new special now streaming on Disney+. Kermit resumes his role as the consummate host, bringing variety-show energy and playful banter. Miss Piggy reasserts her iconic status and exchanges humorous moments with singer Sabrina Carpenter, including a tongue-in-cheek attorney joke. The special features singing, comedy, and celebrity appearances such as Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph. The production blends nostalgic elements of the original series with contemporary guests and performances. The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and the ABC station.
