The National Auto Show

The National Auto Show was a special aired over NBC on October 21, 1962 and was the then-annual broadcasting of the auto industry's show and debut of new models in Detroit. Hugh Downs and Chet Huntley co-hosted. 
While most of the other talent were taken from The Today Show staff (Jack Lescoulie, correspondent Merrill Mueller, meteorologist Pat Fontaine), the Muppets (as performed by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl) were also present, including Kermit the Frog, Harry the Hipster, and a Muppet psychiatrist. They did spots for Reynolds Wrap (with spokes announcer Rex Marshall) as well as comedy bits. Downs introduced Taminella Grinderfall who talked about what she put into every new car."4/6/1988 – ‘Preview of Chrysler Auto Safety Show at Javits Center.’" Jim Henson's Red Book. April 6, 2012
