Episode 314 : Harry Belafonte Despite Kermit ' s insistence that everything on the show is spontaneous , Fozzie Bear decides it needs scripts . He tries his hand at scripting the show while it ' s actually going on , but his scripts are extremely confusing . He gives up when his tie gets caught in the typewriter . Background . This episode represented one of the closest collaborations between " The Muppet Show " creative team and the guest star . This was contrary to the norm , where generally , apart from asking the guests if they wanted to work with a specific character , the scripts were shaped entirely by the writers . Jim Henson recalled the process : Belafonte himself spoke in detail about the experience : Belafonte compiled a tape of songs from around the world , and selected four to discuss with Henson and David Lazer . " Turn the World Around " was selected , and designers at The Muppet Workshop did background research on African masks , to serve as the chorus . While these would be patterned very closely on real African masks , Henson was very particular about selecting the final designs , since as Belafonte recalled , " he didn ' t want to cause offense by choosing masks that would have some religious or national significance . " In addition to " Turn the World Around , " Henson had pointed out to Belafonte that standard material was also required , to help entice the audience . Thus , it was agreed that Belafonte would sing his hit " Banana Boat " and " have a drum duel with Animal , because Animal is a favorite character of mine . " Belafonte felt that the first script read - through was " so dry , so dull , so wrong . " When the second read - through was performed with the puppets , everything came together . One scene which was cut from the final episode required Belafonte to argue with one of the Muppets : This " Turn the World Around " number has since become a favorite clip , used in documentaries like " The World of Jim Henson " , to illustrate that " The Muppet Show " could address wider concerns and seriousness . Belafonte also sang " Turn The World Around " at Jim Henson ' s memorial . Cast . Muppets : Background Muppets : _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _
