A while ago, I was watching "A Muppet Family Christmas" and noticed that, when Swedish Chef enters and talks to Fozzie, for a split second, Frank Oz's head is seen under Fozzie.

In a Tough Pigs interview Jerry Nelson said that Frank Oz did Robin's puppetry in that special.
Oh yeah! I just forgot! (chuckles)! Thank you for the answer! You're right, Jerry Nelson did the voice of Robin the Frog. Thank you!

Listening to "Muppets Tonight" while at work, and the opening bit where Kermit announces the guest star, (In this case it was the Whoopi Goldberg episode) I heard a faint phrase from the original Muppet Show theme...stunned, I backed it up, and listened to it again, it was a muted trumpet and brass section playing "It's time to get things started..." really faint, and jazzed up a bit, right as Kermit gets run over by the crowd, then the main theme starts.
