POSTED: 9:01 AM EDT September 8, 2004

Stars will be interviewed by a pig and a frog as they make their way down the red carpet to the Emmys on Sept. 19.

Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog will be doing interviews during an hour-long special leading up to the Emmys.

George Lopez will give his take on things and Sam Saboura of "Extreme Makeover" will give his opinions on what the stars are wearing.

Tom Bergeron and Maria Menounos will host "Countdown to the Emmys."

ALRIGHT! That is so cool! It'll be a great way to show Disney that these guys are great with improv.

I guess I actually have to watch the Emmy's now...

[McFraggle]

Sounds fun.

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Cool beans! Looking forward to seeing them in action.

[Beauregard]

But will the non-muppet camera men keep the muppeteerrs out of the action...

I remember a lot of us here saying how great it would be to see Miss Piggy on the red carpet. Glad to see something similar finally happened!

Perhaps the Emmys will be entertaining this year.

[Beauregard]

TV Guide had a little picture of K and Miss P with this announcement. So far so good with Disney. . . :-)

Yep... Ya got that right!

I've been pleased thus far, they seem to really be trying to get awareness out.

Ok, so I watched some of it. It was kind of "eh". Kermit and Piggy weren't any worse than the other pre-show hosts basically yelling into a microphone. Eric was ok. Steve doesn't seem to do so well as Kermit when doing unscripted stuff. He constantly goes for the corny joke that never hits.

Muppet presence is good and at least Disney is using the muppets and not letting them sit in storage. Maybe this isn't so bad after all. I do wish they'd use some other characters for this live stuff though. How about Kermit and Fozzie, Gonzo and Rizzo, Statler and Waldorf, or another Muppet duo. But Kermit and Piggy are better than no muppets at all. And they are being used ousdie of kids stuff. I mean, no kid is watching the emmies.

[McFraggle]

I seen part of it, and like you said it was ok. Oh well, at least they are getting used.
