RIP Muppet Show Guests

Interesting to see that’s there’s a Muppets Tonight guest star that died before I was born.

It looks like the guest you're referring to is the very first, Bob Keeshan.

That’s the one!

And now I feel old because I actually remember watching his show. (Granted, I think what I remember was the PBS re-edits after the initial network run ended, because I was barely four years old when the initial network run ended, but still...)

One more guest star joins the other bright stars in the night sky.

RIP Raquel Welch

Racquel's gone too? I thought she was still active lately. Well, she'll dearly be remembered for her duet with Miss Piggy on "I'm a Woman/Wopig" and as Aunt Vesta on "Sabrina." She'll be dearly missed.

Captian Kangaroo? When was he on MT. I thought the first guest on that one was Michelle Pfeiffer unless there was an unaired pilot or something, but I thought Bob died before MT aired.

He meant the first one who died, and Bob appeared in the Andie McDowell episode.

Oh, okay. I get it. Like, I said. I didn't know he lived through the "Muppets Tonight" era, but I guess he did.

Well, I just heard that Harry Belafonte, who was the guest star in the 14th episode of the third season of The Muppet Show, died at age 96.
