Who Has Kermit Fired or Threatened to Fire?

[Saironi]

Actually, I think Kermit was like that because he seemed to think the show didn't have much of a future at the start or because he was in a bad mood.

1. Uncle Deadly had physically abused him, then Kermit thought it had been George.

2. Floyd was being difficult about playing the catipillar and since he had acted like he was in charge of what he did in the past, Kermit decided to knock him down a peg.

3. The "Gone-fer" comment was a joke.

4. Piggy had been spreading lies, and the theater couldn't 'afford that.

5. Kermit may have been joking when he said "Either to tomatoe plant goes, or he does" when refering to Gonzo at the end of the Connie Stevens episode.

They are all jokes you know. It's called comedy. I think it's always funny when Kermit can threaten to fire someone when they go that one step too far. Kermit is nice, but he's not suppose to be a push over.

Yeah. I have a supervisor who is like Kermit in this way. It's hard because a) you know its a joke but b) you can't help but take it seriously. "Are you not working... you're fired!!" Me:

I think Kermit was never totally serious when he threatened to fire someone, and I think he knew individual relationships enough to know who he could kid with and who it might hurt. It's also good to see Muppets like Floyd see that Kermit had the authority to do something, even though he necesarily wouldn't; that shows that even though the Muppets are a chaotic and unruly bunch, they still recognize Kermit as a leader and thusly respect him.

I think the only time Kermit was serious about actually firing someone (and mind you it was obviously not a well thought out decision) was when he fired Piggy. I mean come on; he was livid!

We alway hurt the people we are closer to, thats what Dr. phil said,

You know, if Kermit really did fire all those Muppets and they stayed fired. The Muppet Show would have a very small cast to this day.

I remember Kermit firing Wayne and Wanda a while back, but then rehiring them out of guilt, but then firing them again remembering how terrible they were.

When Kermit was sick and Fozzie was in charge of the show and messed everything up, Kermit fired him, but then changed his mind when Fozzie was happy to see him again. Also in the Roy Clark episode, Kermit told Fozzie if one more thing goes wrong, he's fired. Then the theater caught on fire.

Also in the Loretta Swit episode, Piggy started rumors about her and Kermit and he got so mad that he fired her. But then Kermit took her back in the end.

And in the Alice and Wonderland episode, Floyd refused to do the catterpillar scene until Kermit threatened to fire him, so Floyd did it.

And when George the Janitor said he dressed up like a Phantom to scare everyone, Kermit told him if he does that again, he'd be out of a job.

I really don't like seeing those scenes when Kermit is in firing mode.

Are you sure Kermit was just kidding Fozzie? I'm sure he did his best considering this was a last minute thing.

That's most likely Why kermit never Really Fired any one, He knew the whole show would big shot to pieces!
