When did Kermit become a frog ? In the early days of the Muppets , the character Kermit was not a frog . He was introduced in 1955 on the show " Sam and Friends " with roundish feet instead of flippers and no collar . As Jim Henson described : " all the characters in those days were abstract " ; Kermit was simply a lizard - like creature , and was not a specific species . Kermit truly became a frog in the late 1960s . However , the exact moment of the transformation has been unclear . Whereas most official sources list the 1971 TV special " The Frog Prince " , research shows it happened earlier . " " , mentions that Kermit first gained froghood for " The Frog Prince " . Jim Henson , himself even said so in a 1982 interview : Jim Henson ( and Kermit ) again reinforced the notion on " Live with Regis and Kathie Lee " in 1990 . However , Kermit was already a frog , complete with flippers , in the television special " Hey , Cinderella ! " , which was filmed in the fall of 1968 ( though it didn ' t air until 1970 ) . Kermit also appeared in his current form in " Muppet Puppet Plays " in 1969 , where Henson called him a " frog - type Muppet " . He was also a frog by the first season of " Sesame Street " and in the Sesame Street Pitch Reel . Yet even before that , he was referred to as " Kermit the Frog " by Johnny Carson in a 1965 appearance on " The Tonight Show " . He also makes a cameo in the 1965 pilot for a proposed Cinderella TV series as a frog . In 1966 , when the Muppets appeared on " The Mike Douglas Show " , Florence Henderson is taken aback by Kermit ' s sudden appearance ; in response , she remarks " He scared me , I didn ' t expect a frog ! " Additionally , in the 1968 special " The Muppets On Puppets " , the then flipper - less Kermit was referred to as a frog twice . In one Ask Henson . com response , Henson Archivist Karen Falk provided the following quote on the issue made by Jim Henson in 1985 : According to on Muppets . com , Kermit gained his collar in June 1962 . He wore a minstrel collar in 1962 ' s Tales of the Tinkerdee , though this was cropped and orange , different from the collars he would wear later . Even after Kermit ' s frogification , he was mistaken for a lizard by Neville in " The Great Muppet Caper " , addressed as a lizard by Ma Bear twice in " A Muppet Family Christmas " , and by Bunsen in " It ' s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie " .
