The idea that Disney would facilitate anything like that is far-fetched. It'd be neat to see it happen though, maybe a one-off special with interviews with the surviving guest stars.
I know, but one can still be slightly optimistic.

Incredible that many of the guest stars are still alive.

If I were to guess, Brooke Shields will probably be the last one remaining.

As long as she doesn't have an unfortunate mishap, being the youngest she could very well be the last.

I just found out about another Jim Henson Hour guest who passed a month ago Claude Morrison the last of the guest starring Nylons.(13 out of 25 Jim Henson Hour guests have unfortunately passed.) we are now at 100 guests across all muppet shows having passed away.

Loretta Swit just passed away today
So heartbroken. I had just met her last month at what I guess was now her final public appearance. Of course, I brought up that episode to her, and she was a delight to talk to (and very chatty). She will be dearly missed.
