Does this fit the "Classic Muppets" category? I think so.......

Here's a fun survey question that I'm really curious about......

Who do you think were the top five guest hosts on The Muppet Show?

Here are my choices.......
(which may be revised later)
Leo Sayer
Harry Belafonte
Kenny Rogers
Linda Carter
Mac Davis

Granted, I've only seen about half of the episodes created during it's run in the 70's and 80's, but these episodes are my favorites. (With several runners up. like Elton John.)

Thank you for taking the time to reply just to correct me. I'm sure that my efforts at starting a conversation were well worth your fixing one phrase that I used.

(I'm sorry. I'm just grouchy today.)

uuumm...yeah.

Well he is right, and you're lucky it was him telling you rather than Dave "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole. He went crazy on the last person who made that mistake..:big_grin:

Anyway, my favorite guest stars would be:
Juliet Prowse
Joel Grey
Julie Andrews
Alice Cooper
John Cleese

I was about to do it again, too.:smile:

Top five guest stars: what's the criteria? How they worked with the Muppets, what they did on the show, performance, what? Or just our favorites?

I'll get back to you with my response.

Hey Emerald, where'd you get the picture in your avatar? What's it from? I don't recognize the pic, don't think I've ever seen it before.

David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
