The Muppet Show

The Muppet Show revives the original show's tone with slapstick, absurdist, and surreal humor. Within its context, Kermit the Frog acts as showrunner and host, who tries to maintain control of the overwhelming antics of the other Muppet characters and appease the guest stars. The special opens in a dark, empty Muppet Theatre, where Sabrina Carpenter kicks off the show with a performance of "Manchild" set in a rowdy bar run by Sam Eagle and populated by unruly Frackles and dancing chickens. As the evening progresses, chaos ensues backstage, with Kermit scrambling to cut segments and Gonzo attempting a deadly roller-skating obstacle course while reciting the names of every Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress.
