They are adorable, furry, sometimes cranky and often very bad at entertaining people. But enough about Michael, Jeff and Richard. Today we’re talking about the Muppets! Whether they are starring in kids’ TV shows, variety shows or the movies, everyone has their favorite characters. (Hint: it’s not Walter. Just…no).
This week we break down the most Muppety of all the Muppets (with the exception of Kermit, because that’s too easy of an answer) and try to get at the heart of what makes a Muppet. This episode features controversy, comedy and angry taco eating. So take your place in the balcony, because it’s time to get things started!
