Hi. I left the more difficult for the final. This is the last video that I'd like to translate for the moment. I'm missing a couple of sentences from the reporter and a few words I think I understand, but prefer to be sure. I hope you can help me.


0:09 REPORTER: Thank you so much. ------------ scorted down the line ------------ with 15 riders from the American Quarter Horse Association. And look who is here. Here she is that shameless pig. I mean -------------- frog of her choice, furnished by Jim Henson Productions. It's Miss Piggy and ---------- Kermit, that frog that we all love, riding on a Rolls.

1:32 MISS PIGGY: I'm so excited you've been elevated to ballon -------. (Ballon-dum? Like "balloon category"?)

2:23 REPORTER: -------- for a frog, for sure. (On first, like the first time?)
Thanks!!!

0:09 REPORTER: Hey, thank you so much. -----. Being escorted down the line and into the sunset through Western style with 15 riders from the American Quarter Horse Association. And look who's here. Here she is, that shameless pig. I mean batting those eyelashes at the frog of her choice. Furnished by Jim Henson Productions, it's Miss Piggy and the beloved Kermit, that frog that we all love, riding on a Rolls.

[After "thank you so much," it sounds like he is addressing someone named "Patty." I'm not a "Today Show" follower, so I can't confirm that.]

1:32 MISS PIGGY: I am so excited you have been elevated to 'balloon-dum'. (Ballon-dum? Like "balloon category"?)

[To answer your question, yes. I'm not sure of the spelling. Might be 'balloon-dom.']

2:23 REPORTER: A first for a frog, I'm sure.

For "Today Show" fans, the 'reporter' is Willard Scott, right?

Wohooo!!! Many, many thanks, pal! Again, thanks for all the help.

Y read that name in other web, where it mentions that it is an acquaintance of Jim Henson. So yes, must be him.
