UK TV : Miss Piggy on This Morning

[OverUnderAround]

If it was Eric Jacobson doing Piggy, anyone know if he has ever done live TV before (as Piggy)?

That's fine.

But all we get here is Play With Me Sesame (with UK segments) and Bear In The Big Blue House.

That Piggy interview was the first for quite some time.

The Sesame guys are always on some talk show somewhere in the US, Sesame Street airs daily and sometimes a few different episodes per day. You also have Play With Me Sesame and Bear In The Big Blue House... And then theres the Muppets turning up in Commercials (Ford, Pizza Hut) and on talk shows.

I think you win.

I actully don't have cable so I miss most of these things...I only get to watch sesame street some times on pbs if I get the chance and my spine crumbles at Elmos voice so I change it if he's the focus of the episode lol......
but yes the internet is a lovely device for us fans to find such rare things!
I think we can agree on that there just isn't enough good muppet things to go around these days for us all to love!
