Technically, this wasn't a new appearance, just a comedy sketch featuring video of the Muppets, but it was still entertaining. Last week on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien announced that Obama had been heckled again at a forum on health care. Then they showed a video that featured Obama trying to give a speech intercut with clips of Statler & Waldorf at their heckling best from The Muppet Show. Here's the clip on Hulu.

Classic late-night humor. :big_grin:

The really sad thing is how funny it was :stick_out_tongue: The clips went to that sooooo perfectly (is an Obama supporter, but it was still funny).

I saw that when it aired. As soon as he mentioned heckling I thought of Statler and Waldorf and then, sure enough, there they were!
