The Muppets were apparently on Ed Sullivan tonight. Did anybody catch it? I turned the show on too late. The episode also had Topo Gigo and the Mamas and the Papas.

ah hah! i found proof! here it is i found it on henson.com



For early variety show appearances ( The Steve Allen Show, Al Hirt, The Today Show) in the late 1950's and early 1960's, Jim and his colleagues had Kermit (dressed as a female called Kermitina) lip synch to Rosemary Clooney's version of "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face". During the song, a small monster named Yorick eats a handkerchief that covers his face and then tries to devour Kermit. Yorick, who looks something like a skull, was one of the regular puppets on Jim Henson's popular Washington TV show called "Sam & Friends" (1955-61). He was also the first in a long line of Muppet monsters that had big appetites!



Kermitina....weird! it was a really funny sketch though! i still haven't watch tonight's though. I will tell you what it is when it comes on!

****!

My PBS station NEVER shows Muppets on Ed Sullivan! It's always black and white episodes, last time they showed them was "I've Grown Accostumed To Your Face" and "Visual Thinking" in the same hour.

My PBS station never shows Ed Sullivan at ALL!

They had a special during Christmas, and they showed the Reindeer sketch, that's about it.

Where I live, The Ed Sullivan Show is shown on KTEH channel 54. I don't know if this helps.
