00:00When it comes to style, I always think, what is the most appropriate and understated ensemble for this occasion?
00:07And then I do the opposite.
00:18Kermit and I are going to tell the story of how we met one word at a time.
00:24Okay, why don't I start it?
00:26That's more than one word. Great, we already messed up.
00:29Sorry, okay, now...
00:32That's three words!
00:33Alright, alright, alright. This time is for real. I will start.
00:39We.
00:41Are we going now?
00:42Yes.
00:43Oh, okay. We met.
00:46In.
00:47The.
00:47Theater.
00:48And.
00:48We.
00:49No, no, no, try again.
00:52Then?
00:53No!
00:54I don't know where this is going.
00:56See, that's too many words again!
00:57Okay, yeah.
00:59Hurry!
01:00And?
01:01It.
01:02Where?
01:03Was?
01:04The.
01:05You're taking too long!
01:06The beginning!
01:07Oh!
01:09Come on, come on, come on, come on!
01:12The greatest moment of Kermit's life because that's when he discovered a star that would change his world forever.
01:17Also, it was a Tuesday.
01:19How's that?
01:19Okay, uh, secret handshake.
01:26Secret handshake!
01:26Yeah, we can do this, we can do this.
01:27Yes, yes.
01:28I'll just stand here, like this.
01:30Oh, I'm going to put my hand out like this.
01:32Hi-ya!
01:33Oh!
01:33Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, oh, it's just instinct, you know?
01:44Maybe we should skip the secret handshake.
01:47Is there a medic on set?
01:49I'm sorry, it's just when somebody approaches me with their arm out like that, I can't.
01:53Oh, oh, oh, wow.
01:56He looks really bad.
01:58Oh, ow.
02:04Okay, I'm ready.
02:05Yeah, me too.
02:06All right, you are a great and loyal friend.
02:10Aww.
02:11You, uh, you know how to cheer me up and be there for me when I need you.
02:15That's so sweet.
02:17And, uh, and the Muppet Show would be nothing without you.
02:20Thank you, it means a lot and it's all true.
02:24Yeah, well, uh, okay, now it's your turn.
02:27Oh, right.
02:29Well, you are green.
02:34Okay.
02:35And very smart.
02:39And also, did I say green?
02:42Piggy, did you even write anything down?
02:44Sorry, I misunderstood and just signed my name in cursive.
02:50Great.
02:53It is pretty, though, isn't it?
02:55Mm-hmm.
02:56Very pretty.
02:57Okay, um, what was the funniest moment you had together while filming the Muppet Show special?
03:07Okay, uh, gee, I guess, uh, well, I was mostly concerned with time and, uh, getting the hang of,
03:14you know, uh, doing things again since it's been a while.
03:16And, uh, you know, we have a lot of, uh, we have a lot of personalities on the show and
03:20it's a lot of moving parts and the scheduling.
03:22The funniest Kermit, as you can see, he can be a real hoot.
03:30Okay, what is your favorite outfit your friend has worn in a movie or TV show?
03:36Uh, well, you know, Piggy likes to take fashion risks and I like that about her.
03:40It's true.
03:41When it comes to style, I always think, what is the most appropriate and understated ensemble
03:47for this occasion?
03:48And then I do the opposite.
03:51Hmm.
03:54Uh, what was it like to be working together on the Muppet Show?
03:58And what has changed since the last time you worked together on that show 45 years ago?
04:03Okay, well, you know what?
04:04It's great to be back in the Muppet Theater and, uh, actually, you know, I can't think
04:09of anything that's changed at all.
04:11No, none of the plumbing, the carpet stains, the broken lights, nothing's changed.
04:16Love that vintage feel.
04:18Hmm.
04:19Hmm.
04:21Here, let me do one.
04:24Let's see.
04:25You've been friends for decades.
04:27Mm-hmm.
04:27What do you think is the secret to a long-lasting friendship?
04:31Oh, patience, care, understanding, the ability to say I'm sorry, and a lot of forgiveness.
04:42Wow.
04:44Gee, Piggy, that was, that was really insightful.
04:48Eh, I saw it on a mug earlier.
04:53What is your friend's hidden talent?
04:57Oh.
04:57Um, well, uh, she knows a little bit about it.
05:01A little French.
05:02A little?
05:02Mm-hmm.
05:03I'm fluent in French.
05:04Are you?
05:05Yes.
05:06Well, semi-fluent.
05:07Really?
05:09Okay, more like beginner plus.
05:10Right.
05:12Well, his talent is so hidden you can't even see it.
05:15Mm-hmm.
05:16Hmm.
05:20Okay.
05:21What's the funniest line your friend has ever improvised on set?
05:29Well, there was one time I remember he was on stage improv-ing something about to be or
05:37not to be.
05:39Um, Piggy, that was not an improvisation.
05:42That was Shakespeare.
05:42Oh, good.
05:44Because it was not funny.
05:52After all these exercises today, do you feel closer to each other?
05:56Oh, uh, gee, actually I do.
05:58I do too, Kermie.
06:00This was so wonderful.
06:02We should do this again.
06:03Yeah.
06:03With even more cameras next time.
06:05Uh, yeah, we'll, uh, we'll work on that.
06:08What do you think the future of your relationship holds?
06:10Well, uh, you know, uh, with Piggy, everything is a bit of, uh, well, let's say an adventure.
06:16But, uh, we're always going to be great friends.
06:19I concur.
06:20We're not playing any more games, right?
06:22You're not going to try and get us to do a round of charades or something now, are you?
06:26No, I think we're good.
06:27Oh, thank goodness.
06:30Well, thanks for testing our friendship today, Glamour.
06:35We'll see you next time.
06:37All right.
06:47What is your friend's hidden talent?
06:51Uh, God bless you.
06:55If that was Frank, was that Frank?
06:58I knew it.
06:59You didn't do a very good job.
07:00Yeah.
07:02Here we go.
07:02This hidden talent is definitely not stifling sneezes.
07:05How am I looking, Cheryl?
07:11Getting there.
07:13I'm sorry.
07:16You must be new.
07:17You're not going to try and get us to do a round of charades or anything.
07:28So is this, uh, is this just two cameras?
07:40I'm getting tired of winning all of them.
07:43Are you?
07:44Yes!
07:45Well, semi-fluent.
07:46Really?
07:47Really?
07:49Really?
07:50Really?
07:51Really?
07:52Really?
07:53I saw you, Cheryl.
07:55You were coming in.
07:57Really?
07:58Really?
07:59Really?
08:00Really?
