1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,880
Jim Henson is here tonight, who has won
all sorts of awards for his work as Mr.
2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:06,940
Muppet, as we like to call him. He has a
weekly series called the Jim Henson
3
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:09,040
Hour, which airs regularly Friday nights
on NBC.
4
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:12,660
However, for Mother's Day, the show is
going to air this Sunday with a special
5
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:15,240
episode called Miss Piggy's Hollywood.
6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,920
Please welcome Jim Henson!
7
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:31,860
Playing your song.
8
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:33,100
Yeah, nice to see you.
9
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:34,459
Thank you.
10
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:40,080
This has really turned into the Muppet
industry here. They're just all over the
11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,020
place, aren't they? They have been for
many years. I don't think of it as an
12
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:44,020
industry.
13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,140
That's not exactly a romantic way to
look at it.
14
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:51,660
You, it's nice to see you out front of
the camera. You, in the past, did very
15
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:54,480
little of that. You seem to be coming
out a little more.
16
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:59,810
I don't know. Well, this particular show
that we're doing sort of has half the
17
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:03,250
show is Muppets and half of it is other
things, you know, like the Storyteller
18
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:04,250
series.
19
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:08,430
So it seemed like a logical thing for me
to front it.
20
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:13,370
But it's not like it's what I do
comfortably or well. Yeah.
21
00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:17,490
It's always funny to hear you talk
because in that voice you can hear a
22
00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:19,510
bit of some of those other people.
23
00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:24,490
Yeah, well, there's certain characters
that are close to my own voice. People
24
00:01:24,490 --> 00:01:25,970
like Ernie is right there. Yeah.
25
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:30,430
Ernie is lurking right beneath the
circle.
26
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:33,890
It doesn't change much, does it? No.
27
00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:35,450
It's right there.
28
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:39,750
Do people recognize voices if you're
ordering something on the phone or
29
00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:42,470
something? Sometimes, yeah. A kid was
standing around the studio and I was
30
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:45,510
directing, and he said to his mother
that he thought Kermit the Frog was
31
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:49,690
directing this particular thing that we
were doing. Yeah, I can see where that
32
00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:50,689
would happen.
33
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:55,870
So are you getting more comfortable
doing some performing yourself?
34
00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:57,150
Well, it's interesting.
35
00:01:58,010 --> 00:02:04,070
I'm comfortable in front of a camera,
more so than in front of an audience.
36
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:09,539
interesting. I've always been a person
that I hate appearing, you know,
37
00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:12,520
in front of the class talking and things
like that. It was always murder.
38
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:16,860
You know, I'm very flattered because I
know that not a lot of the Muppets are
39
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:21,960
based on real -life people. A few of
them have been, and I'm honored. You're
40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,780
of the few. Apparently, yeah. On Sesame
Street, there are only three puppets
41
00:02:25,780 --> 00:02:28,380
that we've based on a real character,
and you're one of those.
42
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:32,280
Geez. So now, do we have... Oh, thank
you so much. We have a clip, yes.
43
00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:36,110
What do you have here, Jim?
44
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:40,410
This is a piece of Sesame Street that we
did, and you may remember.
45
00:02:41,170 --> 00:02:43,250
And it was called Squeal of Fortune.
46
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:49,070
All right. So we have a little clip of
it here. I guess it's from Sesame
47
00:02:49,090 --> 00:02:51,970
It should. Right. Let's find out. Jim
Henson in the game.
48
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:53,450
Three. Three.
49
00:02:53,650 --> 00:02:54,770
Is three your guess?
50
00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:59,910
All right. That's your guess. Three
squeals. So give the pig a spin.
51
00:03:03,339 --> 00:03:04,820
Whee! One.
52
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:06,900
Whee! Two.
53
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:08,700
Whee! Three.
54
00:03:11,980 --> 00:03:14,840
Did I say three? Yes. I said three.
55
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,380
Three squeals, telephone count, you've
won. Oh, I won.
56
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,600
He won. Yes.
57
00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:21,418
Oh, no.
58
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:26,040
And now it's time to make your choice
from the studio full of fabulous prizes,
59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,440
and here to show them to us is our
hostess, Velma Blank.
60
00:03:34,510 --> 00:03:38,850
A 50 -gallon barrel of gray -green
industrial -strength finger paint.
61
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:45,690
A beautiful set of handcrafted
grapefruit goggles perfect for
62
00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:46,690
that morning squirt.
63
00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:52,970
And a larger -than -life -size portrait
of America's second favorite game show
64
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:54,210
host, Fast Play Jazz.
65
00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:03,330
You know, what's...
66
00:04:04,019 --> 00:04:07,380
What's great about Sesame Street, in
addition to what it provides for young
67
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:10,420
people and the entertainment it brings
them in and the other aspects of the
68
00:04:10,420 --> 00:04:15,620
show, is it's a very entertaining show
no matter what your age is. Was that
69
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:16,379
of the design?
70
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:20,660
Yeah, actually it is. A piece like that,
basically the idea of it is to teach
71
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:25,840
counting, and we do count to three in
that. But I think they've always known
72
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,740
that the television set is really half
-controlled by parents or older kids.
73
00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:36,540
From the beginning of that show, we've
always done things at an adult level
74
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:38,280
also. Yeah, it works very well.
75
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,100
We're going to take a break. Is Kermit
in the neighborhood?
76
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,199
He is.
77
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,880
He'll be around. Oh, good. Well, we'll
meet Kermit in just a moment. Tim
78
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:56,140
Our next guest is, I think, the first
award -winning frog we've had on our
79
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,260
a 30 -year veteran of TV and films,
including such...
80
00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:03,730
shows as Sesame Street, of course, The
Muppet Movie, and The Muppets Take
81
00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:06,330
Manhattan. Ladies and gentlemen, Kermit
the Frog.
82
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:08,770
Hello, Kermit. Thank you. Nice to meet
you.
83
00:05:09,010 --> 00:05:10,010
Thank you.
84
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:12,570
Boy. Thank you, Pat.
85
00:05:12,810 --> 00:05:13,810
You look great.
86
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:19,150
And things are going terrific. Now
you're on a new primetime television
87
00:05:19,150 --> 00:05:20,990
think that's kind of a breakthrough,
don't you?
88
00:05:21,390 --> 00:05:26,530
Well, I guess it is. But actually, we
frogs sort of think of it as just the
89
00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:30,390
beginning. So you've got more shows with
frogs coming up? Yeah, I've been
90
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:35,430
working on a few of them. We've got My
Three Frogs. That sounds good.
91
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:36,890
Married with Tadpoles.
92
00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:41,660
Quantum Leapfrog. Yeah.
93
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:46,000
I'd watch that. Yeah, yeah. That's a
good one. And then we got the Frogsby
94
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:46,559
of course.
95
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,860
Yeah. I think you can think about that
one. You know, you have to think about
96
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:50,860
it.
97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,680
I think you have to have a hyphenated
name, actually, to be on that show.
98
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,520
Anyway, it sounds like you had a lot of
great ideas there, and we congratulate
99
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,260
you. How's Miss Piggy doing, by the way?
100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,319
She's fine.
101
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,860
I saw her the other day, you know.
102
00:06:01,980 --> 00:06:02,980
Oh, really?
103
00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:05,280
Well, she told me what happened.
104
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:07,660
What happened?
105
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,530
Well, I... You know, I think you're
taking it all very well.
106
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:13,850
I'm taking what very well, Pat?
107
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:18,310
On national television, I don't think
this is the place to... I can't talk
108
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:21,050
it on TV. I'm sorry. You can't talk
about what on TV?
109
00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:24,290
You know, about Miss Piggy dumping you.
110
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:25,950
What?
111
00:06:26,690 --> 00:06:30,590
I know this is a difficult time for you,
Kermit. I'm sorry.
112
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:34,250
This isn't a difficult time for me. You
mean you're glad to be out of the
113
00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:36,510
relationship? No, no, no. There is no
relationship.
114
00:06:37,050 --> 00:06:38,950
Hey, that's no way to talk about Miss
Piggy. I'm sorry.
115
00:06:39,490 --> 00:06:41,430
Well, can I just start over?
116
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:44,170
Sure. I'm sure Miss Piggy would be happy
to give you a second chance. Sure,
117
00:06:44,190 --> 00:06:44,849
that'd be fine.
118
00:06:44,850 --> 00:06:48,330
No, no, no. I don't want to start over
with Miss Piggy. I want to start over
119
00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:49,330
with you.
120
00:06:50,210 --> 00:06:52,070
I've got a girlfriend already, Kermit.
I'm sorry.
121
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:57,410
Well, can we just show the clip? Yeah,
sure. I can see that discussing Miss
122
00:06:57,410 --> 00:07:00,650
Piggy is pretty difficult for you. So
what is this clip of here?
123
00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:03,010
I'm sorry.
124
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:04,909
I didn't hear that. What was that?
125
00:07:04,910 --> 00:07:05,910
About Miss Piggy.
126
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,500
Now, what about Miss Piggy? Well, you
see, the clip features Miss Piggy from
127
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:15,100
upcoming episode of the Jim Henson Hour
called Miss Piggy's Hollywood. Well,
128
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,800
that was nice of you, you know, to let
her do an episode. I mean, after she
129
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,800
dumped you and all.
130
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,300
Can you tell us something about the show
here, Kermit? Okay, well, yeah. Let's
131
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:30,700
see, Piggy is giving us a tour of her
Hollywood, and she...
132
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:35,380
Actually, she has kind of a hard time
finding guests and all that stuff. But
133
00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:36,380
does indeed find a few.
134
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:39,260
And she goes to Dudley Moore's house.
135
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,340
And she finds that actually Dudley Moore
is a big collector of pig stuff.
136
00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:44,660
Pig stuff? Yeah.
137
00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:47,640
And that's what this clip is all about.
Oh, good. Dudley Moore and pig stuff
138
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,120
from the show. Well, let's have a look.
Okay.
139
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:53,200
I don't know what to say.
140
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,540
You don't have to say anything.
141
00:07:55,660 --> 00:07:57,880
It's enough just to look at you.
142
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,340
Look at me? Huh?
143
00:08:05,219 --> 00:08:12,140
Oh, this isn't happening. This probably,
this is
144
00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:14,560
the most exciting moment of my entire
life.
145
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,040
I haven't kept you too long.
146
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:20,480
Oh, of course not. You look
absolutely... Rosie?
147
00:08:20,740 --> 00:08:21,740
Yes.
148
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:24,760
Nice job, Thomas. Yeah.
149
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Now, how did the idea for this green
fellow come along here?
150
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:40,020
Oh, gee. Well, Kermit's been around for
30 -some years, and he was first made
151
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:45,680
back when I was local television in
Washington, D .C., and I made him out of
152
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,920
coat of my mother's and a ping -pong
ball.
153
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:51,120
It was a humble beginning.
154
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,360
Yeah.
155
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:55,560
You've come a long way since then,
kiddo. Yeah. Well, you know.
156
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,560
Is this the kind of thing you want to do
all your life, Jim?
157
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:04,500
Puppeteering, and I guess Muppets is
what? I get to do a lot of stuff because
158
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:09,920
enjoy directing, so I direct a few of
these things, and the producing, and I
159
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,920
still like to perform.
160
00:09:12,730 --> 00:09:16,210
Yeah, I'm enjoying all the stuff that I
do. You've given lots of entertainment
161
00:09:16,210 --> 00:09:20,030
to lots of folks. Again, Miss Piggy's
Hollywood airs this Sunday, and, of
162
00:09:20,030 --> 00:09:22,990
course, the series continues then on

It's very nice to be here, and try not
to insult me the next time I come.

00:09:29,850 --> 00:09:33,910
And thanks for bringing your little pal
Jim, too. We appreciate it. Oh, yeah. I

Jim Henson and Kermit. Thanks, folks.
