About Clifford, well other than hosting "Muppet's Tonight!" he's never been a very popular character. Maybe the producers decided he wasn't needed since Kermit was hosting the show. Just my guess.

Clifford seemed to be important enough to include on the recent video games (Muppets inside onward) I just assumed he'd been adopted into the culture.. and was suprised he wasnt there thats all..

Clifford has been a Mupets staple for a very long time, even after JHH was cancelled, Clifford sang songs on a couple of Muppet CDs and appeared in the Muppets Inside CD rom. The thing was though, this was a slightly different Clifford than appeared on Muppets Tonight. This Clifford was a singer. I think people object to Clifford being an Arsenio-type TV show host, and wish he'd go back to being just the coolest fish-faced, human-like Muppet around.

I do not really know of any specific reason why Clifford was absent, but Kevin Clash was DEFINATELY there! He performed Sam the Eagle (which was off.. sounded more like Hoots the Owl doing an impersonation of SAm).

I was disappointed that they didn't have Muppet News Man in theire, but I really was surprised to see that they used the Boss Men characters! COOOOOOLLLL!!!

I didn't have a problem with Kevin's Sam at all. I thought it sounded exactly like Frank's. Maybe my hearing's bad. Lol.

That's an old version based on speculation that you got from ToughPigs.com.

Danny has since posted the official cast list:

I never liked Clifford. He is NOT funny, altough he makes jokes. I hope Kermit will be the host when there is going to be a new Muppet Show.
