performers

here is who i would have as performers of certain characters:
I would have Steve Whitmire perform Boppity in both sketches.
The penguin in Happy Together would be performed by Richard Hunt. The penguin in Indian Love Call would be performed by Dave Goelz.
The chickens in the closing number would be performed by Louise Gold and Kathy Mullen.
The pigs in Happy Together would be performed by Frank Oz and Kathy Mullen.

If this was an actual episode, here is how a summary would look in the TV listings:

"Jamie Faar and Gonzo get trapped inside a balloon."

And if this was on one of the Best of The Muppet Show videos/ DVDs, here is what a description would look like:

"Jamie Faar: The cross-dresser from M*A*S*H attempts to blow the worlds biggest balloon, gets trapped inside a balloon with Gonzo and Kermit, and portrays an indian."
