02:23had to have a special guest so we asked Sabrina do you think Sabrina is a better singer than me yeah
02:28uh would uh maybe you rather ask some softball questions like uh I don't know what's my favorite
02:34color why would I ask that obviously it's lavender because that's my favorite color good grief back
02:42to my questions Sabrina arrested me at one of her shows for being too iconic did you think I should

04:38outbursts on set and off yes I know yes would you say you have a habit of working with difficult
04:44performers yes yes that's the biggest yes of the day yes so animals just won who are the others
04:53right Stephanie can I pass sure I'll let Gonzo know final question did you lie at any point during
05:06this lie detector test and we did not catch you oh I think we all would have known if you caught me
05:11it's true part of them would be over there another part would be over there good thing you didn't lie
05:19tell me um if I were to look I mean if someone were to lie what what would the machine do the

06:14yeah we're ready we should just go on yeah yeah okay Miss Piggy you got your start on the Muppet
06:22show as a chorus pig uh does having such humble beginnings keep you grounded well naturally okay
06:30so uh so fame hasn't gone to your head heavens no just ask any of my millions of fans who worship and
06:37adore me okay so um would you explain something to me if uh if fame hasn't gone to your head why do
06:44you have such an extensive writer oh I wouldn't say it's any more extensive than say Mariah Carey's
06:51who is my peer obviously obviously um can you remind me of what's in your writer oh sure it's not much
06:57just some warm lemon water for my vocal exercises two dozen pink roses 23 calico kittens in a wicker
07:05basket a 60-piece orchestra to play while I sit in hair and makeup and all the overhead lights must be
07:12removed and changed to 20 watt bulbs and soft white simple uh-huh have you ever refused to do a gig because
07:19an item was missing from your writer never though the kittens are a non-negotiable you've been in the
07:27business for a long time have you ever felt intimidated by another actress don't be silly
07:33uh Stephanie deceptive what oh come on yeah piggy it's okay you can tell us who is it no nobody

07:54intimidated by she is pretty good yes okay Stephanie how is Miss Piggy doing so far she's doing great
08:01and she looks beautiful oh thank you you don't have to hook her up to a lie detector we know she's
08:09telling the truth okay speaking of careers Miss Piggy are you the nine to five type what is that a blood
08:16type I think I'm O negative no I think they mean it as a work schedule ah yes yes well as an actress
08:23my schedule varies but if the call time is before noon or after 7 p.m that's a hard pass that's what
08:30I thought next question did you feel like you had to make any compromises on our show well I mean I
08:37did have to share the stage with people far less talented than moi so uh other than that you're happy
08:44with the rest of the decisions we made absolutely I wouldn't change a thing that was very untrue
08:52what all right I do have a couple of notes if you have an hour or two later that's what I thought
09:01am I your favorite collaborator always unless Spielberg's available but otherwise always do you
09:11uh you know do you have any feedback for me we can address that in our two hour notes meeting
09:17later great um oh are there any secrets you've been keeping from me secrets yeah what do you mean

10:26leverage that to work on one of his other projects I didn't have to he asked me to star in all his
10:30projects moving forward and some in the past too how does that even work oh I'm loving all this
