"You were talking about our age TOGETHER. Yes. WE are 50" Miss Piggy got her together FAST 💀🤣
IT’S LIKE SHE DOESN’T AGE
Because she’s a puppet bro
Her hair looks fairly grey now but other than that I agree
She's a fictional character
Yeah she's fictional 😊
That plastic surgery they paid for worked
Miss Piggy is probably the closest thing America would get to having an actual queen.
Yes
Who needs BARBIE when we got Mrs. Piggy?
She’s stylish
She’s sassy
She’s loud and proud
😂❤🐷
Respect to CBS for also interviewing Eric and Bonnie. I feel like ever since Disney took over the Muppets IP they always did interviews with the muppet characters and rarely ever did any interviews with the actual people who bring these characters to life. Really refreshing to see these talented people get the credit they deserve!!
Made me nostalgic, for my childhood. Ms. Piggy is an icon, and a hero to young people the world over. She is strong, silly, smart, quick, and loving, all in one little piggie. Thanks, Jim and crew for all the laughs and philosophy. True American genius.
I LOVED how The Muppet Show didn't have any commercials.
Yes! However, don't tell anyone that she's a he!🤪🤔🤗
Bringing smiles to people is truly noble work. Thank you, Jim Henson, for your legacy and a lifetime of smiles.
Miss Piggy is performed by Frank Oz (1976-2002) and Eric Jacobson (2001-present).
Being an adult is hard. It should never be under estimated something that brings joy and makes you forget about life for a while. Here's to you, Miss Pigathius Lee. You are truly adored by your fans.
She’s an icon and doesn’t age! 🐷
A longtime Henson fan, this story was really well done. Bravo, CBS! 👏👏👏
Frank Oz and Jim Henson, two amazing talents!
"She was born to free us all" I felt that
If there is ever a moment in Miss Piggy's career that I will ALWAYS remember and cherish, is the "Pigs in Space" sketch on The Muppet Show that was hosted by Carol Burnett. They had captured a weird alien creature. The creature started to dance with Miss Piggy (a dance marathon was going on in the show and they worked it into the sketch). Then while it appears he's dancing with her he says "MMMMM HUNGRY!!!!" and mercilessly gobbles her up. That was over 40 years since I saw that and it STILL cracks me up. So thank you Miss Piggy for the laughs.
@flmlvr - I SO wanted a "Pigs in Space" lunchbox, but was never able to get one. >_
Eric is so talented…. I had the pleasure of being his Moms friend and she was an amazing person who always knew he would make it. She died before he made it really BIG and being Miss Piggy is BIG. She would be beside herself with joy.
I Love you Miss Piggy you are amazing watched you growing up .
She's the original diva
I have a miss piggy etiquette book that i picked up second hand for about $1 years ago. Frigging hilarious.
It's also Frank Oz Birthday!!
This honestly made me remember something Uncle Deadly said in The 2015 Muppets series that relates to this.
“Oh I’ve woven her in a cocoon of lies, she doesn’t know her size. Wait, nor how old she is…”
Eric Jacobson has got all of Piggy's classic mannerisms so far down! He's an inspiration in the field!
She got class and a kind heart like when she help kermit buy a gift for his new girl even though how wrong it was
Besides my own mother, Miss Piggy was my muse. 💖✨ She’s an icon.
Jim Henson was an amazing man
I agree and I can't wait to see the documentary about him. ❤
I love this interview Love Miss piggy forever!!
I can’t believe it; an actual Muppet appearance in the media! Disney still allows that?!
Actually the ones who own the rights to the Muppets is a company in Germany
I cried. Michelle, you look fabulous in that dress. Ms. Piggy, I love you very much.
Beautiful segment! I smiled all the way through! Great job! 👍THANK YOU MS.PIGGY!😘❤❤❤❤❤
I have so many find memories of Ms. Piggy❤
I love this pig.
Thank u miss piggy
I just realized we’ve never seen Miss Piggy’s fingers, I don’t think. She’s almost exclusively wearing opera length gloves.
Well done Miss Piggy.
7:15 7:18 I'm sorry this still gives me goosebumps in a good way 🥹
Same!!
Omg! Congratulations to my Queen!
Finally, a real celebrity!
This IP has rested long enough. It is time for more Muppets action!
As long as there's no cheap modern reboots. Stick to the classic material!
She’s a legend.
I hope we get new muppets movies in theaters in the near future!
My favorite was in The Muppets Take Manhattan and the scene when she relentlessly chases down her purse snatcher through Central Park! 😹
Miss Piggy has always been my favorite! 💕💗💕
I miss Jim Henson
We love Miss Piggy.
Legend!!!! DIVA!!!!
Frank Oz is the Man.
I can't blame him for retiring but I sure miss him. 😊
Miss Piggy is the best of the best! I loved the Jim Henson documentary 🌈🐷🐸💖💚 So thankful we have the Muppets 💗💗
5:03 you’re not wrong, Miss Piggy!
Since I've had a crush on Kermit for decades...I'm not the biggest Piggy fan...I still don't know what he sees in that Heifer!!!!
Ty ✌️💜
Loved It😊
Thank god for Eric Jacobson. I wish we could get a Kermit performer who sounds closer to Jim Henson.
Wonderful interview by Howard University's own Michelle Miller!!
Looooooveher❤❤❤❤❤
I love Frank O, almost as much as I love the immortal Jim Henson.
Me too. ❤❤
This is how bad Disney sucks - the Muppets are Disney property and this interview is happening not on ABC, but CBS. Where's the synergy?
Disney has done uck fall with the Jim Henson Company since they acquired them. Dude was right in saying Jim's legacy has withered under the house of mouse.
I was just thinking the exact same thing! I don’t understand why Disney hasn’t done more with the muppets. People of all ages love them!
Left out the conversation how Disney got rid of the original voice/performers to pay new voices less money. Disney has no idea how to use or handle the muppets. It’s disappointing such a great IP that’s been left on the shelf
Depressing. I wish they were public domain tbh
What an icon, a legend, she is the moment.
I hope she never joins Hell’s Kitchen. It would be sad if Gordon called her a muppet.
why didn't anyone at the company pitch a 50th (or 25th 25th anniversary) of Miss Piggy in Show Business to Disney? if Electric Mayhem can have their own series why shouldn't Miss Piggy have her own thing
She hasn't aged a day!
When was the last time, Miss Piggy took her gloves, socks and shoes off?

Miss Piggy
Beauteous 😄😆😅😂🤣
She is the Hog Diva
An icon.
Bill Murray: "Do you have a Miss Piggy?"
6:20 Scary eyes!
"A little ... miss piggy in all of us" and a hell of a lot more in MTG. lol
This makes me hungry for bacon.
Ha ha ha! Don't let Miss Piggy hear you say that. 😅
💕
I feel like I’m on shrooms watching this
Anna Navarro is looking great for her age.
I grew up with the wheat blonde Miss Piggy. That piggy just feels right. I guess platinum piggy is her modern reinvention, along with the eye job, botox and rhinoplasty.
Jim Henson was the icon.
Aging in Hollywood for women is hard! If she wants to keep working, she needed to have some work done.
Oh Yeah...Miss Piggy. What a hunka ham she is.😍🥰😘😛😻💓💞💕❤❤🩹🐷🐷🐷
..and this is supposed to be a news network...
Thumbnail looks like a cast member of the view.
Right on piggy 🐽 🐽🐽✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Oh I thought that was Liz Cheney and a Jan 6 story.
I thought she was Liz Cheney for a sec.
Why has Miss Piggy never appeared on _Sesame Street_ ?
The muppet show didn’t air on CBS, it was syndicated
The CBS owned and operated stations aired it, and they had a hand in the production (acknowledged in the closing credits). But you’re right - it was not on CBS proper.
This is an acid trip
Лартака сток бунданка рок 👍 фияркута бонза бугазотка тутка сияние бухта...
Ok im just gonna go with this……
But I will say this one would think since Disney owns both Muppets and ABC that ABC News would be doing the interview but im at least glad they acknowledge that Miss Piggy is a fictional character
The interviewer is going "OMFG.... 5 years of journalist school to interview a muppet".
I think she was truly as thrilled as I would have been.
She always had a frog down her throat.
Frank Oz
wht sho did she debut on
AMY SCHUMER HASN’T MISSED A BEAT
That is mean.
Why does she reminds me of Mariah .
I know right
Because they're both divas with long, blonde hair and glamorous. And both their cheeks are puffy.
@tarag7292 thanks for describing exactly what I was thinking
Is that Liz Cheney?
Гуфиниякта гадраст..
Liz chaney is that you 😅😅
Miss Piggy is incredible and it is pretty petty to take that sort of tone with a Muppet. Not a good performance by this cast, I would have expected something better. We will see if THEY endure THEIR misdeeds because they are prettty judgy
It’s Sarah huckabee sanders!!!
Do NOT insult Ms. Piggy like that.
Aren't her and Kermit no longer together??
She's always been a bit of a ham.
Is it me or is miss piggy sounding more manly. You guys seriously couldnt find a women that sounds like miss piggy to do the voice? Please fire this dude. No offense bud.
A man has ALWAYS talked miss piggy did you watch the documentary? After frank oz Eric Jacobson has been voicing miss piggy for years for over a decade now why replace him when he's the closet to frank oz voice?
The dude who plays Piggy has played her for like 25 years. Why are you complaining about this now?
@@pigslaundry5593 I didnt grow up with the muppets in the 2000s. Thank god. If Frank Oz did the voice, he did a hell of a lot better doing it.
Margarine Traitor Green.
Miss Piggy's twin is Margaret Taylor Greene
@belindabelinda7463 - Restrain yourself from face-shaming - that's trump's job. Unless you are _trying_ to emulate him.
Don't ever compare B6 to Miss Piggy
