RIP Muppet Show Guests

[CBEB]

Little Richard is another.

We have lost 13 Muppets Tonight guest stars in total so that makes 88. I also wanted to acknowledge the guests of the Jim Henson hour who are no longer with us where 10 guests have died from that show but 2 of the deceased guests(Dudley Moore and Bob Hope) also appeared on the muppet show where in total it makes 96 deceased guests.

Wasn't Leonard Nimoy on Muppets Tonight? I feel like I remember him having at least a brief cameo.

He was in the Garth Brooks episode.

Yeah, I forgot about Leonard, maybe since he wasn't the guest star, guest star. He just happened to appear in that ep. I think that may have been the case with Little Richard as well. I'll have to look that up.

Little Richard is another.

Oh, right. I'm thinking he was another one from "The Cameo Show."

I don't believe he was a muppet show guest or even Muppets Tonight.
Can I ask what is this person's connection to the Muppets?

Buster Pointdexter (David Johanson) was the special guest star on The Jim Henson Hour's Episode 8: Musicians back in 1989.
Hope this helps.
