Your Thoughts: Kermit and Miss Piggy on America's Got Talent

I avoided the swine flu joke this time.

But overall, incredibly disappointing appearance. I hope this guy who did Kermit here tonigt gets better opportunities with the Muppets because, who knows? He could shape up. But he really brought it down. It just wasn't that good.

Great review! Brings up a thought… does anyone know the Muppet’s connection to America’s Got Talent? I saw them on with Terry Fator two years ago and it seemed a little more relevant with that act. Seemed a little, oh, forced in tonight. Not that I’m complaining… I love seeing them get exposure. Just curious.

hmm

Maybe with all the muppets stuff coming up steve was doing something else kermit related?

Yeah I know, Kermit seemed Stiff!

I believe he seemed stiff because he didn't have much dialogue other than that he was very much Kermit

 

[Max'sbuddy'sDad]

I agree with you 100% I was so frustrated!

Just a thought... if it wasn't Steve that is big shoes to fill. If we are Muppet fans and this is a new guy lets see what this guy can do with more script. The script seemed very one sided.

The actual song was a recording, the little bit of Kermit running up with the DVD was live, and did sound like David Rudman's Scooter. Most likely this was Rudman filling in for Steve, lyp-synching to Steve's recording.
If someone knows different and for sure then please do correct me.

This is what I was thinking. It did sound just like Rudman... so... yeah, I'm thinking he was filling in.

WHERE IS STEVE? i liked that song and everything about the appearance, but i want steve! he sounded horrendous. piggy did awesome. i just wish when kermit came into the dressing room, that she would've given him the classic karate chop, instead of chasing him away. that's what i thought was gonna happen, and i got excited, only to be let down. the chickens were awesome. it was over all a pretty cool appearence, but i just wish that STEVE WAS THERE! ! !

I just saw this and the difference was apparent immediately. All due respect to the performer who took on Kermit, though--that's a high profile and risky thing to do, so congrats to him for having done it.

But seriously, I hope this was just a case of busy / ill Steve. Not that I hope Steve is ill, of course, but it makes me incredibly uneasy to think about Kermit in anyone else's hands right now. I really LIKE Steve's Kermit. I'm comfortable with him--he's just Kermit! Anyone else doing new performances with Kermit would just feel phony to me.
