The Muppet Show Live/transcript

==Act I==
===Cold open===
 	Main stage. Sal Minella enters.
 	
SAL	All right! All right! Quiet down everybody! I got a few announcements here, so listen up!
First of all, I've seen what you're about to see and I just want to say: "I'm sorry." Second, we've never done a live Muppet Show before, and tonight you're gonna find out why. There's no retakes, no edits, no nuthin. They must be nuts… Now, you folks here in the pricey seats. Not only did you pay good money for this, but we're puttin' you to work. You're doin' special effects for the Muppet News sketches. Ya got your props. When you see your cue up on the stage, throw the prop. I'm warnin' ya', pay attention and don't mess it up! Oh yea, and everybody turn off your cell phones. I hate those things.
Lionel Richie will not be performing tonight due to illness... Gee, I wish I'd thought of that.
Okay, one last thing: we got this here video clip. It's a rare tape that some guy named Jim Henson made to sell the Muppet Show. It kinda sets the mood. So enjoy it, y'hear! Have a good show, and don't come to me for refunds. Amen.
Roll Tape!

===Statler and Waldorf===
 	A spotlight falls on Statler and Waldorf in their box. Audience cheers enthusiastically.
 	
WALDORF 	Good grief. Say, Statler, do you think The Muppet Show will be any better live?
STATLER 	Waldorf, at our age, it's great to be around anything live.
 	They chuckle.
WALDORF 	Well, at least it's only for one night.
STATLER 	That's the same thing they told us 25 years ago.
 	They chuckle, but Waldorf frowns in resignation.
STATLER & WALDORF	Oh, no...
===The Muppet Show Theme===
 	Kermit appears in the show's O.
KERMIT	It's The Muppet Show Live, with our very special guest stars Brooke Shields and Paul Williams and lots of surprises! Yaaaay!
 	A video of the theme plays.
 	
===Backstage===
KERMIT	Okay. Alright. Well this is it, Rowlf. Let's go through that checklist one last time.
ROWLF 	Okay!
KERMIT	Props?
ROWLF 	Check
KERMIT	Special effects?
ROWLF 	Check.
KERMIT	Music?
ROWLF 	Check.
KERMIT	Wardrobe?
ROWLF 	Check.
KERMIT	Oh good. I think then we're completly ready!
ROWLF 	Yup, just as soon as we write some checks we can buy all those things.
KERMIT	Sheesh!
 	Kermit exits.
ROWLF 	Good luck... go get 'em.
 	
===Welcome===
 	Main stage. Kermit enters.
KERMIT	Thank you, thank you and welcome to The Muppet Show. Um. I am Kermit the Frog and thank you so much for coming. Y'know, back in 1966, I appeared on this very stage on the old "Hollywood Palace" TV show and it was so successful, it only took 35 years to invite me back. But, um, anyway, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Muppet Show, tonight you're going to see the show as never before. You'll even see who's doing it.
Isn't that right, Steve? (Looks down at Steve Whitmire)
Pay no attention to that guy - he's just a hired hand. That's just a little Muppet humor there.
Anyway, we asked your suggestions about an opening number. And in spite of what you told us, we're going to do one anyway. It's a classic we first did on the old Ed Sullivan Show...
 	
==="Mah Na Mah Na"===
	Mahna Mahna and the Snowths perform "Mahna Mahna." The puppetry is performed to the original audio track from The Muppet Show. New footage of Mahna Mahna leaving the theater and stopping at In-N-Out Burger before calling the theater was played at the end.
	
===Muppet News Flash: Golf Balls===
NEWSMAN	This is a Muppet News Weather Update! The Hollywood area is being pelted by a hailstorm. Witnesses report hailstones as large as golf balls. Well that can't be right. Golf balls? Golf balls?.
 	Plastic golf balls are thrown from the audience, hitting the Newsman.
NEWSMAN	After 25 years you'd think I would have known better.

===Backstage===
 	Kermit is backstage. Pepe comes running in.
PEPE 	Kermin! Kermin! Kermin! Excuse me, Kermin?
KERMIT	Listen, I'm wondering if you've seen Miss Piggy anywhere?
PEPE 	No, no, no Piggy. But, Kermin, I need your help with the problem, okay?
KERMIT	What problem?
PEPE 	I have never done a show live, okay. So I have the stage frights.
KERMIT	Oh, listen, Pepe, whenever I feel like that, I just imagine the audience in their underwear.
PEPE 	That is voyeuristical! Okay?
KERMIT	No, no, that's not what I mean. It's just...
 	Bunsen and Beaker enter.
BUNSEN	Excuse me, Mr. Kermit.
KERMIT	Oh, Bunsen. Beaker!
BUNSEN	Have no fear, Mr. Kermit. We at Muppet Labs have an invention that will solve everything for your friend Pee-pee.
PEPE 	That's Pepe, okay.
 	
KERMIT	Listen, Doctor Honeydew, what is it that you have?
BUNSEN	A small rash on the tip of my pinky toe, which I suspect is caused by chafing. However there is a distinct possibility...
KERMIT	No, no, I mean, what invention do you have?
BUNSEN	Oh, yes. Silly me. You've all heard of DVD technology.
 	An audience member lets out a loud "whoo." The characters turn to the crowd.
KERMIT	They've heard of it.
BUNSEN	They like it... Now thanks to Muppet Labs' new BVD technology, imagining the audience in their skivvies is a thing of the past.
PEPE 	You're a very sick man, okay.
BUNSEN	On the contrary! With these special glasses in here, you can see through underwear rendering the audience completely naked!
PEPE 	Oh, this is much better, okay!
BUNSEN	I know you'd like that. Give it a try, Pee-pee.
PEPE 	Pepe.
BUNSEN	Whatever. Now let's go down below for a moment where we can rig the glasses to your face.
KERMIT	Should I stall?
BUNSEN	I think you should.
KERMIT	(to audience) Well, this down here is where we normally would have done a tape edit - this is where a video tape edit would have come. And so it does give you a chance to see our great Muppet Workshop people at work down here in the trenches. This is Jane Gootnick down here. All set, Jane? She's all set. So pardon what they call a little hiccup there.
 	Busen exits
KERMIT	Ready? (to Beaker) So long, Beaker!
 	Beaker quickly exits
KERMIT	(to audience) He always forgets his exits. (to Pepe) So how are the glasses, Pepe?
PEPE 	They are amazing, okay. I see you with no pants.
KERMIT	Pepe, I never have pants.
PEPE 	Shame on you, Kermin.
KERMIT	Try going out there and looking at the audience.
PEPE 	Si, si. Stage frights.
KERMIT	Give that a try.
 	Pepe peeks around the curtain to the audience
PEPE 	Wooo... Hahahaha.
KERMIT	So much for stagefright. Does it help?
PEPE 	It doesn't hurt, okay. Hey, lady in the front row here. Si. Ever feel the need to peel and eat a hot and spicy prawn? Heheh!
KERMIT	Pepe! Pepe, please!
PEPE 	I am never taking these off, okay.
KERMIT	Fine. Fine, leave them on. Just help me look for Miss Piggy.
PEPE 	Miss Piggy? I am taking these off, okay.

===Gonzo's Comedy Act===
 	Gonzo enters.
GONZO	Thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, to those of you seated nearby here, I am the Great Gonzo. And to those of you sitting up in the balcony, I am Antonio Banderas. Now many of you know me as a daredevil performance artiste, but I also have a classical side. And tonight, it is my pleasure to present the first ever live performance by my All-Chicken Vocal Ensemble. Ladies!
 	Muppet chickens enter
GONZO	Thank you. Thank you! (chicken pecks Gonzo in the back). Camilla, Camilla, get in line. What are you doing over there? Alright, I regret to announce that one of our best cluckers, Henrietta, is molting. But a close personal friend of mine has agreed to take her place. Please welcome Academy Award winner, Jon Voight!
 	Voight enters wearing chicken suit
GONZO	You're not a chicken, you're a turkey.
JON 	Yeah, this whole sketch is a turkey.
GONZO	Ohh, aren't we in a fowl mood.
JON 	Anyway, I'm a brown chicken, everybody.
GONZO	They don't care.
JON 	Can we just get this over with, please.
GONZO	One other thing. I love you in "Jim Henson's Jack and the Beanstalk."
JON 	Y'know, it's available on video and DVD? Should I give them the 800 number?
GONZO	That might be too much.
JON 	(sarcastically) oh yeah. We wouldn't want to over do it.
GONZO	Then let's begin. All right, girls, we're gonna tune up! Okay, Silvia
 	They go down the line, each chicken clucking a note until coming to Voight.
JON 	(unenthusiastically) Cluck!
GONZO	Hmm.. how do I say this? A little more vibrato, maybe.
JON 	Cluck!
GONZO	A little better.
 	
GONZO	Ladies and gentlemen, "The Blue Danube Waltz". Ready and one and two...
 	The chickens cluck "The Blue Dnube Waltz" with Voight reluctantly joining in.
GONZO	Wow that was beautiful. Thank you! Wow.
JON 	How did I do? Because I was kind of getting into it at the end.
GONZO	You were great. Seriously. In fact, you know there's a guy from NBC that I want you to meet.
JON 	Oh, I'll get dressed then.
GONZO	No, no, stay in the suit. It's good.
JON 	NBC's the Peacock, isn't it?
GONZO	That could be a problem.
JON 	So I'll go take a shower. Anybody got any soap?
 	Voight exits.
GONZO	Oh wait...there's a guy from Animal Planet here. Jon?
==="Bein' Green"===
	Kermit sings "Bein' Green."
	
===Video: Java===
	video clip from Episode 122: Ethel Merman
===Muppet News Flash - Football===
NEWSMAN	This is a Muppet Newsflash! In the world of sports today, Rich Gannon quarterback for the Oakland Raiders threw 250 touchdown passes. 250 Touchdown passes?!? That's impossible! There's got to be a mistake somewhere. That's ridiculous, 250 touchdown passes?
 	Dozens of NERF Footballs are thrown from the audience at the Newsman. He faints.
 	
==="What Happened to Show Business?"===
 	A video montage of The Muppet Show guest stars plays as the Muppets sing a revised version of "There's No Business Like Show Business" with new lyrics about the guest stars.
KERMIT 	There's no business like show business
And we work with the pros
LEW ZEALAND 	Comics had them rolling in the aisle
GONZO 	The greatest acts that you have ever seen
LEW ZEALAND 	Show folks who would go that extra mile
KERMIT 	Back when the dial
Stopped at thirteen!
SAL 	Our guest stars were the best stars
CLIFFORD 	Doing anything for a laugh
GONZO 	Troupers who would go out each and ev'ry night
GONZO & LEW ZEALAND	And never duck when my fish took flight
KERMIT 	Good Ol' Senor Wences when he said
ALL 	"S'allright!"
Let's go on with the show!
KERMIT 	There's no business like show business
CLIFFORD 	It's all business
PEPE 	No show.
KERMIT 	Once we were the strangest thing on TV
LEW ZEALAND 	Why folks found us odd, I do not know
GONZO 	Now if you want to see a bunch of weirdos
Reali-ty shows are where you go
KERMIT 	There's no business like Muppet Show business
We'd all do it again
Thanks to all the guest stars
GONZO 	They were one of us
LEW ZEALAND 	Not one of them ever made a fuss
KERMIT 	Carol even dressed as an asparagus!
ALL 	Let's go on with the show!
Let's go on with the show!!!!!!!
===Joe Pasquale Comedy Act=== 
GONZO	Wow! Hello, again. Y'know, one of my favorite things about "The Muppet Show" was giving a break to talented newcomers. Now tonight, we'd like to continue that tradition by introducing someone I recently discovered in England. This is his first appearance in America and with your help it can be his last. Ladies and Gentleman, the astounding and baffling Joe Pasquale!
Joe Pasquale enters and performs a 10-minute stand-up routine including an impression of a robot peeing, Stevie Wonder at the Hollywood Bowl, buckets of doom, a tribute to Johnny Mathis, and a story about his grandad creating a small bike for Joe's toy monkey while singing Hushabye Mountain.

==="It Feels Like Christmas"===
KERMIT 	Hi-ho everybody, I want to take a moment to thank you all for coming tonight. It's fun to bring everyone together and put on a show, but the real reason we're here is to support Save The Children and the work they do helping kids around the world. Now more than ever we know how important that work is. So tonight, let's remember the children and celebrate their spirit.
 	Kermit starts singing "It Feels Like Christmas" from The Muppet Christmas Carol. He is soon joined by Robin, Clifford, Sweetums, Gonzo, Sal, Pepe and a chorus of others who all join in the song.
KERMIT 	We'll be right back, folks, after a brief intermission.
CLIFFORD	Yeah, don't go away.
KERMIT 	Don't go away. Curtain!

==Act II==
===Statler and Waldorf===
 	A spotlight falls on Statler and Waldorf in their box.
WALDORF	You know, the second half of this show reminds me of Aspen.
STATLER	Oh? Why Aspen?
WALDORF	'Cause it's all downhill from here.
 	They chuckle.

FLOYD 	Whoah, where's the rest of the band?
ZOOT 	Late, man. Late.
FLOYD 	I must be getting old - I'm starting to get to my gigs on time. I wonder where they at…
 	Floyd starts to play his bass and sings "Where You At?" with Zoot accompanying on sax. One by one, they are joined by Dr. Teeth, Animal and Janice until the whole band is on stage.
 	
FLOYD 	Where you at?
Where's your natural habitat?
Baby where you at?
I wanna go there
Where's the place?
Which direction should I face?
I wanna go there
SAXOPHONE SOLO	
FLOYD 	I was doing fine
'Til I heard you call.
I've been searchin' everywhere
But I can't find you nowhere at all
So, where you at?
Tell me 'fore I flip my hat
Baby, where you at?
I wanna go there.
FLOYD 	They're here!
 	The band performs "Can You Picture That?" The puppetry is performed to the original audio track from The Muppet Movie

===Kermit and Brooke Shields===
KERMIT 	Thank you, thank you, I was supposed to perform a duet with Miss Piggy right now but we still don't know where she is, so I guess we won't be able to actually --
 	Gonzo enters
GONZO 	Pssst, Kermit. Introduce Miss Piggy.
KERMIT 	You found her?
GONZO 	Sort of.
KERMIT 	What do you mean "sort of"?
GONZO 	Relax! Just introduce Miss Piggy.
 	Gonzo exits
KERMIT 	Ok... Ladies and gentlemen, here to sing "Never Before and Never Again" with me is Miss Piggy, sort of.
SHIELDS	(off stage) You want me to go out there like this?
GONZO 	(off stage) Be a sport! It's the 25th anniversary! Go on, break a leg!
 	Brooke Shields enters dressed as Miss Piggy.
 	
KERMIT 	Wait a second... it can't be... Brooke Shields? Brooke, why are you dressed like that?
SHIELDS	What?! Gonzo told me it was your idea to have me impersonate Miss Piggy.
KERMIT 	Gonzo!
GONZO 	(popping on from the wings) Oops!
KERMIT 	I'm sorry about this.
SHIELDS	Oh, it's okay. Actually it's an honor to be able to impersonate Miss Piggy, especially because I get to work with vous.
KERMIT 	Gee, thanks.
SHIELDS	(imitating Piggy) Kissy-kissy, Kermie, Kermie, Kermie. Let us make be-yoo-tiful music together, shmoopie-poo.
KERMIT 	Shmoopie-poo?
SHIELDS	It's all I got.
KERMIT 	Uh, okay. (calling off) Music please.
SHIELDS	(singing beautifully) Never before… have two souls joined so freely and so fast…
KERMIT 	(interrupting) Brooke, wait, wait, just a second.
SHIELDS	What's the matter? Not good enough?
KERMIT 	Nope. Not bad enough. You're singing far too good to be Miss Piggy.
SHIELDS	Ok I'll try again.
KERMIT 	(calling off) Music!
SHIELDS	(singing slightly worse) Never before… (spoken) That bad enough?
KERMIT 	Nope.
SHIELDS	(sings worse) Never before… (spoken)
KERMIT 	Uh uh.
SHIELDS	(sings even worse) Never before…
KERMIT 	That's it!
SHIELDS	(singing) …have two souls joined so freely and so fast. For me this is the first time, and the last Is this an angel's wish for men? Never before and never…
 	Screen comes on. Miss Piggy is looking down at Brooke and Kermit
PIGGY 	All right, knock it off, Brookie. Listen, you go near my frog again and I'll make you wish that you…
KERMIT 	Miss Piggy, what are you doing up there? You were supposed to be here tonight.
PIGGY 	Oh, Kermit, I told you I couldn't make it. This weekend is "Piggyfest," a celebration of all things moi. And let me tell you Bayonne is lovely this time of year.
KERMIT 	Oh good grief. Piggyfest? Bayonne? Piggy, how could you do this to us.
PIGGY 	Moi!? What about you and "Miss Suddenly Snooty-Pants'" there. Huh? Huh?
SHIELDS	I'll just leave.
KERMIT 	No.No, Brooke. You just wait here. I'll be right back. Oh good grief.
 	Kermit exits the stage. Enters video feed.
 	
KERMIT 	Piggy! What is this all about?
PIGGY 	What is this all about? I'll tell vous what it's all about: you never call, you never write. You sell the company and all I get is a T-shirt that says "Somebody in Munich Loves Me".
KERMIT 	Piggy!… I'm sorry, it's just that….
PIGGY 	It's okay, Kermie. Sometimes it's good just to let these things out.
KERMIT 	That's right. You just let it out, Piggy. It'll be fine. You just let it out.
PIGGY 	Vous asked for it… Hiiii-yaaaaa!!!
 	Piggy karate chops Kermit who goes flying off screen.
PIGGY 	(to camera) Kissy-kissy! Bye-bye everyone! Ta! Kissy-Kissy!
 	Kermit flies back onto the stage.
SHIELDS	Are you okay, Kermit?
KERMIT 	I'm fine. I think.
KERMIT 	Are you sure?
KERMIT 	I think so.
SHIELDS	Should we still do the song?
KERMIT 	Uh sure, I guess. (calling out) music, please! (To Brooke) Shall we do it together? Two.. three..
 	
 	Bobo enters, interrupting the song.
BOBO 	Whoa! Whoa! Stop the music!
KERMIT 	Bobo, what are you doing?
BOBO 	I got Paul Williams backstage threatening to leave if you do any further damage to that song there, mister.
SHIELDS	Well, what do we do?
BOBO 	Alright, first, lose the pig stuff. You're scarin' the kids out here.
KERMIT 	Maybe we could do another song - another number. Lemme think…
BOBO 	Oh! Do you guys know "San Francisco Bay Blues"?
SHIELDS	Sure… yeah.
BOBO 	Ok, that's what you're gonna do. (to orchestra) Hey, Ray, gimme a D, gimme a nice round D. (to Brooke) And you're gonna want to lose the boa.
SHIELDS	I'm keepin' the boa.
BOBO 	She's keepin' the boa! Here we go, Ray!
 	Bobo exits
 	Brooke and Kermit sing "San Francisco Bay Blues". They are joined part way through by Floyd. Bobo, Gonzo, Dr. Teeth, Janice, Animal, Zoot, a sheep, and a horse also join in.
KERMIT 	Ladies and gentlemen, Brooke Shields!

===Muppet News Flash - Giant Boulder===
NEWSMAN 	A Muppet News Flash! Scientists were flummoxed today as reports of a giant boulder rolling through Hollywood.
 	He cringes and then looks out at the front rows.
NEWSMAN 	Ha! Ha! They didn't give you giant boulders to throw, did they?
 	Sweetums enters, carrying a giant boulder.
SWEETUMS	Nope, but they gave me one.
 	Sweetums tosses the boulder at the Newsman. He misses.
NEWSMAN 	Ha! Ha! You missed.
 	A cow falls on the newsman.
 	
===Paul Williams Sing-Along===
KERMIT	Our next guest is one of the most talented guys in Hollywood. And it has been my pleasure to work with him for many years. Nobody has a bigger heart than this guy. And he's a dear friend of the Muppets. Here is Paul Williams.
 	Willams enters.
KERMIT	How are you?
PAUL 	Good to see you, Kermit. It's been a long time.
KERMIT	Good to see you too.
PAUL 	Hi, everybody.
KERMIT	You know, Paul, we've worked together a lot over the years, haven't we?
PAUL 	We've worked together since 1979 - I was about your height then.
KERMIT	Yeah, and since then we've shared the same clothes many, many times.
PAUL 	I've got short hair, and the guy under you has long hair - it's bizarre.
KERMIT	That's funny. I don't know who that guy is. He keeps following me around. I think he's a stalker.
PAUL 	I always loved working with you guys, it was always special for me because it made me feel larger than life.
KERMIT	You always made us sound so good too, and you've written an awful lot of songs for us. Do you have any favorites?
PAUL 	Here's one from The Muppet Movie. Remember this?
 	Kermit and Williams sing "Movin' Right Along" with Williams taking on Fozzie's part.
 	
 	Gonzo enters.
GONZO 	Whoa, that was a great job guys.
KERMIT	Thank you.
GONZO 	That was fabulous!
KERMIT	Hey, Gonzo, how 'bout singing that song you sung in the first Muppet movie?
GONZO 	Only if yodeling is out of the question.
KERMIT	It is.
GONZO 	OK, I'll do it.
 	Gonzo sings "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday." Kermit and Williams join in with back up vocals on the second verse.
 	
 	Robin enters.
GONZO 	Oh hi, Robin.
ROBIN 	Hi, Mr. Williams. Hi, Gonzo. Could we do a song from Muppet Christmas Carol?
PAUL 	Sure, sure.
ROBIN 	Tiny Tim was my biggest part... so to speak.
 	Robin sings "Bless Us All" with Williams, Kermit and Gonzo.
 	
 	Sal and Rowlf enter.
SAL 	Rowlf's got one. Rowlf's got one. And I'm gonna sing it with him. Okay, okay, okay? Alright guys, hit it!
 	Rowlf, Sal, Williams, Gonzo, Kermit and Robin sing "I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along."
ROBIN 	Mr. Williams, what was the first Muppet project you ever worked on?
PAUL 	The first thing I ever worked on was Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. You know there's a song from that that's perfect for you, Robin. Why don't you sing it.
 	Robin sings "When the River Meets the Sea" with Williams. Elmo enters, interrupting the song.
ELMO 	Hi, everybody. Elmo loves this song too!
ROBIN 	Would you sing it with us Elmo?
ELMO 	You bet! Elmo wouldn't travel all this way from Sesame Street for nothing!
 	The song resumes with Elmo singing a verse and the rest singing back-up.
 	
 	Kermit sings "Rainbow Connection" with Williams. The group join in on the chorus.
PAUL 	You know, guys, making music for almost 30 years, the most fun I've ever had in my life is going to work with you. Throughout the years I got to know Jim Henson pretty good. He always believed that in their hearts people were really loving, kind, and good. You know? And he believed that everybody should live their dreams - everybody.
 	The group sings the final verse of "Rainbow Connection" - the crowd grows as Sweetums, Statler, Waldorf, Bunsen, Beaker, Sam, Rizzo, Scooter, Pepe, Johnny, and the Bossmen join the group on stage.
 	
KERMIT	Well, folks, that just about brings us to the end of our first-ever live Muppet Show. But before we go, I want to thank our very special guests - Brooke Shields, and Jon Voight, Paul Williams, Joe Pasquale and, of course, the other Ray Charles and his orchestra! And all the other people who worked so hard to put on the show. Come out, everybody!
 	The cast and crew comes out for the closing curtain call.
KERMIT	And finally, folks, we want to thank all of you for helping Save the Children. After all these years we still believe that making people happy is the best dream of all. (singing) Life's like a movie, write your own ending.
ALL 	(singing) Keep believing, keep pretending. We've done just what we set out to do. Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!
KERMIT	We'll see you next time on The Muppet Show!
 	The Muppet Show Closing Theme plays and the crowd gives a standing ovation while Brian Henson introduces and recognizes the performers and producers on stage.
