Speaking of LATE notices, Kermit was on Fox News Channel Friday afternoon during the 1pm hour on a show called "The Live Desk." I was flipping through and caught about only two minutes of the interview.
Luckily, I recorded it and some of the highlights--that I saw--included:
Kermit, as an "amphibitarian," draws the line at "interspecies marriage."
Asked on his take on the whole Britney-not-wearing-panties episode, Kermit said he "understood there were differences between amphibians and mammals," and that "I've been appearing naked since the '50s, nobody cares."
Asked about his celebrity, Kermit says he doesn't think of himself as a big star, and that going to the swamp keeps him grounded. "When you're that close to the ground, you stay grounded." He also said that "you gotta know your place on the food chain."
Asked about--you guessed it--PIGGY staying "grounded," he said she has "a tendency for not being terribly humble." He also said when they tried to get her into NYC the day before, she was held up at customs because of the trans-fat ban.
The show's host, Martha MacCallum, told Kermit that she was watching "The Muppet Christmas Carol" with her kids the other day, and asked how he got into the role of Bob Cratchit. He said he "researched and researched" the book and that the movie was very close to the actual book. About Michael Caine, he said one of his acting tips is that he never blinks, and told MacCallum that, "You will notice, that at no point in this interview, will I blink." He said his advantage were "clearer eyelids."
Kermit also told the audience, near the end of the interview, "Don't let the green onion thing get you off of green," referencing the whole Taco Bell thing.
Soooo, all-in-all, good interview--the part I saw. Kermit was as sharp as ever, and the host seemed to have a good time as well. I just wish I knew about it ahead of time so I could have seen the whole thing, but so is life.
Laterz!
