Kermit did an interview about turning 50 and the release of Season One of The Muppet Show:

Happy 50th Birthday Kermit! :)

CBS put together a good interview. The Ethel Merman exchange contains one of my fave Kermit lines, btw. I'm glad Disney didn't cut that!

It's amazing. He's 50, and doesn't have a single gray hair!

Happy Birthday, Frog o' my heart! :o

[Erine81981]

I enjoyed it and Your turning 50 you ageless old frog. Happy Birthday Kermit.

[Gonzo14]

It's amazing. He's 50, and doesn't have a single gray hair!

Happy Birthday, Frog o' my heart! :o

I know, Kermit's older than both my parents

[That Announcer]

That was awfully funny. A bit of it seemed little more than a promo piece, but his last line was priceless ("You can send a stripper to my party if you wish, but I don't care, as I am appearing naked here"). This is the closest Steve's come to Jim's Kermit so far, and I think he'll have the voice nailed within a year.

Also, take a look at the arrangement of the DVDs in the box behind Kermit. The Piggy and Kermit discs are in the wrong places! :)

[MrsPepper]

Hee, I noticed that too. >< Random little clip, it was very jumpy, I didn't exactly understand the point myself, but it was fun. :)

[Gonzo14]

I noticed on one of the previews, it had a picture of Animal on a disc

[Muppet Pro]

That stripper remark from Kermit at the end was sickly hilarious! :)

But as we all know, The Muppets were edgy ever since the beginning.
Just one of the reasons why we like them.

Here is the clip:http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=770006n%3fsource=search_video.

[Colbynfriends]

Wow, that line at the end was unexpected, but a cool video none the less.

[heralde]

I didn't find the line particularly edgy myself, but to each his/her own. ;)

[unclematt]

Loved the line at the end. I thought it was cute.
