SPECIAL GUEST STAR: JEREMY IRONS
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: In a darkened ballroom with a mirror ball, the Electric Mayhem play "A Kiss To Build A Dream On", Dr. Teeth lead vocals, Zoot sax solo
BACKSTAGE: It's Kermit's birthday, and Prairie Dawn has come to visit from Sesame Street. She's going to put on one of her pageants, this one about the life cycle of a frog, and she recruits Miss Piggy, Scooter, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Floyd to help out.
GUEST STAR: Jeremy Irons sings "A Puzzlement" (from "The King and I") with Sweetums, both in appropriate costume.
Statler: "Why would an actor of Jeremy Irons' magnitude want to come on THIS show?"
Waldorf: "That, my friend, IS a puzzlement!"
BACKSTAGE: Floyd complains about playing a tadpole in Prairie Dawn's pageant. Add to that Janice is plant-sitting Lanford, who mistakes a costumed Floyd for a female deathwort.
SKIT: "Veterinarian's Hospital"--Dr. Bob, Nurse Piggy, and Nurse Janice operate on a Doozer.
UK SPOT: Rowlf plays and sings "On Moonlight Bay", but is interrupted by a hipster Muppet who keeps singing Beatles songs.
BACKSTAGE: More Prairie Dawn directorial tyranny. Scooter bails out of being IN the pageant by being Prairie's stagehand. Prairie also assigns the other parts: Gonzo is the egg, Floyd is the tadpole, Fozzie the tadpole with legs, and Piggy the full-grown frog.
SKIT: "Pigs In Space"--Link has a major dilemma...he put his uniform on backwards. Piggy solves the problem by twisting his head around appropriately.
DRESSING ROOM: Miss Piggy sweet-talks Jeremy Irons into playing the full-grown frog for Prairie Dawn's birthday pageant to Kermit.
CLOSING NUMBER: Prairie Dawn's pageant goes off without a hitch, with Jeremy Irons giving the performance of a lifetime as a frog. Kermit is touched.
CLOSING THEME
Statler: "Well, looks like Jeremy Irons got the reversal of fortune this time around!"
Waldorf: "How do you figure?"
Statler: "He came on this show!"
