Kermitpalooza

***Kermitpalooza*** is a one-hour TV special that aired on ABC on February 20, 2010. Caroline Botelho plans to host a music special at Radio City Music Hall to celebrate Spungi Network's 5th anniversary. Caroline and the show's crew, including producer Horse, are in a dressing room getting ready for the show. Kermit the Frog visits them before the show starts and then leaves, shutting the door before Caroline can tell him that the door is broken: it won't open once it's shut. Kermit decides to host the show, and the rest of the *Spungi Network* cast work behind-the-scenes, presenting music video remakes of songs.

Meanwhile, Wubbzy drives Kylie Michaels, Steven Gordon, David Logan, Daniella Winters, Natalia Wojcik, and Ariana Velez in a limo to the studio, but Wubbzy gets lost and they end up in Roswell, New Mexico.
