This is a lovely article, and it's great to see so much love for the Muppets. My inner Muppet geek can't resist pointing out that The Muppet Show didn't actually have "guest hosts"... Kermit was always the host (except for an episode or two where it was part of the storyline that he was incapacitated). Florence Henderson, Connie Stevens, Rudolf Nureyev, etc. were guest stars, but unlike the way it's done on Saturday Night Live, the guests didn't have anything to do with hosting the show.
