    Kermit has the best comebacks.
    _It makes sense they'd pick Jason to host the show, Piggy. You know when people go to a Muppet movie, people say "GEE! I can't wait to see the human!"_

      I love to see the Humans in a Muppet movie. There have been some great humans acting in those. I can't say with 100% accuracy who some of them were. Except Tim Curry, he had great chemistry with Angel Marie, Old Tom, Real Old Tom, Blind Pew and Spotted Dick!

      @@sjucbackup - I think what OP is referring to is the fact that, during the first season of SNL, Lorne Michaels contracted Jim Henson to produce some segments for SNL, and for whatever reason the SNL writing staff simply didn’t get Henson’s love of silliness and the outlandish and imaginative tongue in-cheek humor, and so they consciously tried to sabotage every one of his segments and get him off the show.
      It’s kinda like when Milton Berle hosted, but turned on its head. Berle didn’t get SNL’s wry style of humor, and so he filled the show with old-school asides and spit-takes and ended his episode with a schmaltzy ballad, and it was so terrible the show’s never been aired again. He thought he was doing something better than the show he was “too good” to be on, but all he did was prove he was a dinosaur, and he ruined his own episode.
      So conversely, the SNL writers thought they were too hip for the Muppets - that puppets were childish or something - and because they didn’t get the Muppet’s distinctly weird new style of humor, the SNL writers hated it and tried to torpedo those segments. And so those segments did turn out awfully, but Henson was later vindicated when _The Muppet Show_ was a runaway ratings success. He was likely too nice a guy to have felt “avenged” or anything, but clearly the ‘75/‘76 SNL writers were the ones who didn’t get it.
      I mean, compare any season of the Muppets to, for instance, SNL during some of its worst periods, like the Piscopo years or the Sandler years, and it’s clear Henson had nothing to be embarrassed about: his troupe could hold their own. Maybe his style would never have meshed with SNL’s, but watch any episode of _The Muppet Show_ and you’re guaranteed to for-real laugh out loud at least once, if not several times per episode.
      Never imagine you’re too good for something, when in fact it may be you who doesn’t quite understand, I guess is the lesson here.

Many of you won’t know who that is, but she was pretty funny and I’m really happy she ended up being so successful as a writer on SNL. It must be insane to go from an internet comedy channel to working on an episode of SNL with the Muppets.
