American Express commercial with Jim Henson

[RedPiggy]

Just saw a commercial this morning for (I think) American Express ... and a really old clip of Jim Henson and a few Muppets (incl. Scooter and Piggy, I think) was featured and I was like HUH?

Did you see it on tv? Because there is an American Express card commercial with Jim, Floyd, Gloat, Scooter, a pig, Nigel, and a couple other muppets. Filmed during Season 1 of "The Muppet Show."

Yeah, I just saw it this morning ... it shows a bunch of clips of various people and their projects. It requests that viewers let them know of their special projects.

I just saw this commercial! How NEAT seeing Jim on a commercial! I was stunned when I heard him say "Do you know me?" Cool stuff!

Lol I remember reading about that in an old book about commercials!

Jim: "Do you know me? I created the Muppets."

Muppets: "Big deal!"

I saw it on Comedy Central when I saw it.

I saw it on Comedy Central when I saw it.

Oh rad, I'll have to watch for it then, the only thing I've been watching on there as of late though is the new Gong Show.

I love that commercial! It was so cool seeing that; I've never even heard of that commercial before. The commercial was nice overall too.

Yeah, they used that clip to open and close the commercial
