Billboard’s Tetris Kelly caught up with Miss Piggy and Kermit from ‘The Muppets’ to talk about why they decided to revive their show, what they think of ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift and more!
Miss Piggy:
Yet another blonde coming for my job. Don’t tell her I said that.
Kermit:
Hey, hello there. How are you doing?
Tetris Kelly:
I’m good. So guys, I gotta be honest. I’ve literally interviewed Mariah Carey, and I think I’m more nervous now. So how are you guys doing?
Miss Piggy:
That sounds about right.
Kermit:
We’re doing good. Thank you.
Tetris Kelly:
You’re a superstar. OK, so why was now the time to bring The Muppet Show back?
Miss Piggy:
I don’t know. Why is anything back? Why are the ’90s back? Those clothes were awful, at least what we had is something people want.
Kermit:
Miss Piggy is not great at promotion, but we felt like there’s always a good time to bring back singing and dancing and making people happy. The special was a way to do that.
Miss Piggy:
You call that good at promotion?
Kermit:
Yeah, I think it was really good.
Miss Piggy:
All right.
Tetris Kelly:
Good job, Kermit.
Kermit:
Thank you.
Tetris Kelly:
I’m gonna pick up on what you said, because it’s about singing and dancing, and you guys got a really big guest to do some of that on the show. So Piggy, have you had your lawyers contact her yet? Sabrina…
Miss Piggy:
Yeah yeah. About the whole look, and yeah, copying everything I wear. And yeah, well, yes, my lawyers are in the middle of negotiations, and that’s really all I can say. You know…
Tetris Kelly:
I don’t want to get you in trouble. I don’t want to get you in trouble. But, you know, she did compliment you, and she said she was inspired by you and your looks and everything. So what do you like about her music and tours?
Keep watching for more!
