00:00Yet another blonde coming for my job.
00:02I think she is.
00:03Don't tell her I said that.
00:05I will never.
00:06You're still working out a few kinks.
00:08Ugh, that's all right, and I love a kink.
00:10Hola!
00:11Hey ho there, how are you doing?
00:12I'm good. So guys, I gotta be honest.
00:15I've literally interviewed Mariah Carey, and I think I'm more nervous now.
00:18So how are you guys doing?
00:20That sounds about right.
00:21I'm doing good.
00:22We're doing good, thank you.
00:23Yeah, I'm doing fine.
00:24You're a superstar.
00:25Okay, so why was now the time to bring the Muppet Show back?
00:28I don't know. Why is anything back?
00:31Why are the 90s back? Those clothes were awful.
00:34At least what we had is something people want.
00:37Miss Piggy is not great at promotion, but we felt like there's always a good time to bring back singing and dancing and making people happy.
00:47The special was a way to do that.
00:49You call that good at promotion?
00:50Yeah, I think it was really good.
00:52Hey, good job, Kermit.
00:55I'm gonna pick up on what you said because it's about singing and dancing and you guys got a really big guest to do some of that on the show.
01:01You're my idol.
01:02You're sweet.
01:03Go on.
01:04So Piggy, have you had your lawyers contact her yet? Sabrina.
01:08Oh, yeah, about the whole look and yeah, copying everything I wear and yeah.
01:17Okay.
01:18Well, yes.
01:19My lawyers are in the middle of negotiations and that's really all I can say, you know.
01:26I don't want to get you in trouble.
01:27I don't want to get you in trouble.
01:28But you know, she did compliment you and she said she was inspired by you and your looks and everything.
01:33So what do you like about her music and tours?
01:36Well, this is true.
01:37Her whole last tour was inspired by moi.
01:41I mean, if you can call it that, you know, I mean, stealing a look.
01:45But, you know, there was a moment when we were we were very friendly during the tour and she got sick and I subbed in for her.
01:58You did.
01:59I didn't even know.
02:00I know.
02:01Nobody noticed because because we're basically twins.
02:05Yeah.
02:06So it was you doing espresso in Manchild.
02:08Yes.
02:09I don't think that's true.
02:10Wow.
02:11I think this is a dream or something.
02:12Believe what you want, Kermit.
02:13It's true.
02:14I believe it.
02:15And you killed it, by the way.
02:17And of course, I have to talk to you guys about the billboard charts a little bit.
02:20That's why I'm here.
02:21We have a lot of really cool songs out right now.
02:24You both seem very golden yourselves.
02:26So have you seen Kpop Demon Hunters?
02:29Is that anything like House Hunters?
02:31I've seen that.
02:32I'm not seeing the direct comparison.
02:35You know, we have been so busy making the special and now promoting it that it's really, really haven't had time to see much of anything.
02:43You know, but I hear it's pretty cool.
02:45Yeah, it is.
02:46Yeah.
02:47I mean, I'm not in it.
02:48So, you know, yeah, chances are I haven't seen it.
02:52All right.
02:53But maybe we're going to talk about another Disney plus queen.
02:56She's kind of like you, Taylor Swift.
02:58She just put out a new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
03:01I think you might know a little couple things about being a showgirl.
03:04Have you listened?
03:05Have I listened?
03:06I live it.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Yet another blonde coming for my job.
03:11I think she is.
03:12Don't tell her I said that.
03:13I will never.
03:14Yeah.
03:15Yeah.
03:16I think maybe me and you maybe should go to like her next tour and maybe we could kind of see what the vibe is like, Piggy.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Yeah, absolutely.
03:23You're buying the tickets though, right?
03:24Because they are expensive.
03:26I mean, you're the superstar.
03:27I got to check my bank account.
03:29Okay.
03:30You check your bank account and then we'll go.
03:33Well, guys, I am so excited about the show.
03:36I could not wait for it to come back.
03:38And I can't wait to see what other guests you have.
03:40So thanks for having me and talking to me today.
03:41Thanks so much.
