Your Thoughts: Kermit and the Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel Live

[Zack the Dog]

Kermit was VERY edgy! Wow! He came in with sunglasses on for his intro which looked really cool when he flipped them off, he then sang a quick short song with a line about being "a sex machine with a certain hogg!" He had a very funny bit with Uncle Frank, (the only guy on this show that's good besides Kermit)

They had Kermit and Uncle Frank talk in a room taped earlier and Uncle Frank didn't know that they were being filmed. Jimmy said they wanted to know what would happen if they just let Kermit and uncle Frank talk as if they were two men talking. Then they showed the taped and Uncle Frank couldn't believe it! LOL! They sang the ABC's together and Uncle Frank talked about how's he's good with certain things like when some one dies he can identify the body....and he talked about past jobs and Kermit yawned.LOL! Kermit said he was the nicest guy and gave him a thumbs up! It was all random stuff, they "said" they taped for an hour I guess, but of coures they could only show a little bit.

Kermit then was getting frisky with Sarah Silverman, (who wasn't rude to him like I thought she seemed on the Killborn show last year.)
Also going back to Wensday night, Kermit has said....(porn) on tv before, which was on the Killborn show.

I liked at the end when Jimmy mixed up the DVD box, he meant to show a music DVD for a DJ that was filling in with the band that night but he was mistakenly holding up the IAVMMCM DVD! lol! He then caught himself and said "oh no! not this!" and then threw it down but it was funny!

No surprise Muppet last night, but maybe tonight? it would be SOOOO cool if they could have Kermit, Gonzo, and Pepe all out at the same time! Tonight's the last night right? or is there a Saturday show? i don't think so, but i could be wrong?

Me too. I think his crude attitude works best when there's someone like Ben to be the straitman.

Yeah, kind of like and , except Ernie definitely prefers Duckies to Juggies, and I'm sure Bert is more interested in Bottlecaps than in "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller."

 

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Yeah, our frog got pretty edgy last night. He denied being one of the typical guests that Jimmy has "relations," with. I won't actually get into the details of the his other comment--let's just say that one of the guests made a comment about some of her more "personal" body parts, and Kermit responded "that's more than I can say!" If you saw it, I'm sure you noticed, and if not, then someone else can tell you, because I don't really want to think about the implications of that comment.

Still, it was pretty funny. I really don't mind the edginess, since it's so late at night and it's just the general tone of the show. Steve is doing a great job keeping Kermit involved in the interviews and segments, and keeping him hip enough to seem like he fits in naturally. I'm really getting a kick out of and as well--their comments are such classic exchanges between the two.

In short, hooray for the Muppets!

Hey does anyone know what Kermit said when that comic told Jimmy the other night "what you couldn't get the robot from lost in space?" Kermit said "he wasn't avaiable" but then kinda muttered, "now that's enough of that" and gave a sheesh face. It was something like that,, i've listened to it a few times now. Kermit biting back? He shoulda said it louder!

I also liked the "Kermit? Termite!" thing, with that kid, I thought he said Kermit too at first.

I am 100% completely happy with this whole week of Muppets on Jimmy Kimmel. I loved everyminute of Animal on there, Statler and Waldorf, and of course Kermit. Kermit proves, that no matter what kind of offensive shiatsu storm Jimmy or guests throw, he can handle it. And thats what I like about Kermit.
I remember some truly unruly comments during the Muppetfest q&a and Kermit handled it fine...and *this* is why he's the Muppet leader! ^_^

The 'omg his voice is so off' debate I think is obsolete. I don't think any regular person watching tv is going "I do say Nigel, prey tell what kind of poppycock is this 24.7% decibels off doppleganger faux Animal?"

As for the recent 'edgy' debate...hey, c'mon, it's 2003, almost 2004.
Most polls show kids and teens are out of touch with the Mupepts (as far as the Muppet Show Muppets) and that the crux of their audience is the late teen to older crowd. While there is zippo JHC/Muppet news, I hope to see more of these great appearences to make up for it in the meantime.

Yeah, I've noticed the chemistry between Kermit and Sarah. I sort of thought she didn't like him when they were on the Kilborn show. Maybe, she was just aggressive while playing Yambo, or whatever that game was. I also noticed that it was an error where Kermit says he's never said "porn" on TV. Maybe, he was referring to "The Muppet Show" or "Sesame Street" and wasn't talking about talk show interviews. Just my guess.

Or maybe Rowlf...I'd love to see him get a decent comeback.

I had a feeling somebody would say that in response to my post. Yeah, it would be great to see more of Rowlf, but I still don't know how often the Henson company wants to use him. I don't know if they want to keep him retired as a tribute to Jim or not. We'll have to wait and see.

1. Watch play off games.
2. Clean your room.
3. Decide what to have for dinner.
4. Look at the menu and see what they're serving
5. Realize you're the only person on these threads who still makes lists like these.
6. Try to think of what else to do while waiting 120 seconds.

Well, Sara was on the FOX show "Greg the Bunny". [If you don't know, it was a parody of children's shows, where the puppets have real life problems (ie, ex-wives, alcholism, etc). I personally thought it was a great show.] ANYWAY, therefore, she's very experienced interacting 'naturally' with puppets, so it probably came naturally to her.

Kermit and Frank singing the alphabet together seemed surprisingly sweet for this type of show.

 

[Erine81981]

Well I've loved every episode can't wait for tonights last show. Hope they have at least some other muppets other then Kermit, Staler and Wolrudf(bad spelling)
That was sweet to see a Fank and Kermit have a sesions together. Loved how Kermit couldn't take some of what Frank was talking about. Well last night, that is unless he's on some other nights? Here's to Jimmy and the rest of the crew for having Kermit and friends on his show. Like some one said it may bring out how alot of people love to watch muppets even w/ out their all their friends.

KERMITS ON TONIGHT!!!! WATCH IT!!!
