    I love how tiny Stephen's pillow is, it's like as soon as Kermit and Stephen pulled up to the viewpoint Stephen forgot to bring his own pillow and Kermit very sweetly packed a second pillow just in case, but forgot that Stephens head is much bigger than his but Stephen was just so endeared by Kermit's generosity he used it anyway.

    I've never seen this clip. This was so good! Stephen, you should have a video chat with Kerman. That actor is really funny.
