here is my first outline for Muppets Tonight!, and my first outline featuring a dead celebrity. unlike my outlines for The Muppet Show, this one doesn't include a U.K. spot, but enjoy anyway.
Cold Opening/ Lobby
Sam is talking to Bobo about how wrong the show is when he sees Bill Clinton (actually, Phil Hartman doing a Clinton impression) coming into the theatre. he is pleased that the president is coming to watch the show, untill Clinton says that he likes to eat bald eagles for breakfast.
Introduction
Clifford says that the shows producers have been reading the fan mail and states that tonights show will not overly focus on the guest star, and then introduces Dr. Phil van neuter.
Opening Number: I Whistle a Happy Tune
Dr. Phil Van Neuter sings while Mulch scats on a set that has a field of pretty flowers. Dr. Phil tries to stay brave while being surrounded by flowers, bunnies (including Bean), a deer, and baby ducks.
Jail Cell
Statler and Waldorf watch the show from inside a prision cell. they were arrested for vandelizing a wall with innapropiate comments about the muppets.
Controll Room
The band tells kermit that they want to perform their own musical number in the show. kermit agrees, and looks for a hat to draw out names of acts to cancel.
Comissionary
Phil Hartman tells seymour and Pepe that he wants a hamburger, a salad, and some french fries. Pepe takes the order and tells seymour what to make. However, Seymour serves a hams booger, some carpet samples, and some flies. Phil scolds them for getting the order wrong, and Seymour asks, "How can an order be wrong?" Rizzo goes to the commissionary and tells Phil, Seymour and pepe that they are on.

Intoduction
Clifford says that before he was famous, Phil hartman was a contestant on a muppet game show called "To Tell a Lie". He shows a video clip.
To tell a Lie
Snooky Bloir is the host, and Phil hartman has to guess who is telling a lie: Bean Bunny, Digit, or Lew Zeland. Bean says that this is his favorite game show, Digit says that the show is rigged, and lew says that he has some electrical boomerang fish. the liar is Digit, but Phil thinks the liar is Bean.

An Editorial by Sam The Eagle
sam The eagle: "I would like to say a few words about bathroom humor in entertainment today. When I was young, we didn't need to resort to using bathroom humor just to get a lauhg. No, it was bad enough that we could get laughs by getting hurt, and being racist, but bathroom humor is the nail in the coffin. bathroom humor is not funny! bathroom humor is... (suddenly farts real loud)". uh, excuse me... (is embarrased).

Statler: back in our days we didn't resort to using bathrooms.
Waldorf: Back in our days we didn't have bathrooms.

Commissionary
the muppets tonight band tries to write a song, but they are terrible at it. they try writing songs about ice cream, bricks, green, and clocks, and all are sung to the tune of the song "I want to rock and roll". seymour and pepe hate the songs, and even Andy and Randy think the songs are the stupidest things ever. The band decides to just perform a cover version of a song.
