Muppet Sports

Muppet Sports was a recurring sketch on The Muppet Show, featuring sportscaster Louis Kazagger.
Each segment on The Muppet Show began with a bumper in which Louis Kazagger would introduce himself as the host of Muppet Sports. He appeared in a circular cutout in the center of the frame surrounded by four scenes of sporting events: on the left, Gonzo appeared as a patron of a horse race featuring Paul Revere; above, four Whatnots compete in a leg race; a bushy-eyebrowed pig appeared to the right playing baseball; and the bottom was covered by a pair of pigs wrestling on a mat in a ring.
Muppet Sports segments later appeared in The Great Muppet Caper, a Good Morning America sketch, The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora, and adapted into comic form in The Treasure of Peg-Leg Wilson Issue #1.
