The Muppet Show with Gene Wilder

Guest
Cold Opening

Scooter: Gene Wilder? Gene Wilder? 25 seconds to curtain, Gene.
Gene: Thank you, Scooter. And tell Dr. Honeydew to stay away from me with that Super Adhesive. Just because...
Scooter: I know, I know. Say, Gene, what part of the show are you most excited about?
Gene: I'd have to say the closing number. Just any opportunity to get Waldorf out of the balcony is worth not passing up.
Scooter: But what about Statler?
Statler: (walks in, dressed as an Oompa Loompa) Wilder, we have to talk!
Gene: (to Scooter) Does that answer your question?

Opening Theme

Gonzo: chocolate comes out of his trumpet.

Opening Number: Waldorf as Grandpa Joe and Scooter as Charlie sing "I've Got A Golden Ticket".

Backstage: After the opening number, Statler is mad at Waldorf for being cast as Grandpa Joe and not him. Kermit tries to calm him down by pointing out that Statler wasn't completely forgotten; at least he was cast as an Oompa Loompa. So, Statler starts feeling a little better.

Swedish Chef: makes chocolate sculptures of various Muppets.

UK Skit: Miss Piggy as Veruca (the spoiled girl) sings "I Want It Now".

Bear on Patrol: Fozzie arrests Arthur Slugworth (the evil candymaker) played by Lefty the Salesman from SS.

Closing Number: Gene, Scooter, Statler, and Waldorf sing "Pure Imagination" in the Great Glass Elevator.
