    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.

    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.

    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?

    @Banjo_Tails Před 20 dny +3

    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
