Funny MUPPETS Emmy Promo - Power Lunch with Kermit and Miss Piggy
Though it's not long after their break-up announcement, Kermit and Miss Piggy appear together in a new promo for the Emmy Awards. It features a few cameos from people who have been nominated this year, and if you're a fan of The Muppets, then you'll probably really enjoy this.
After their highly publicized break up, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy meet to discuss their new show at a power lunch spot in LA. See what happens when they find themselves amongst Emmy nominated actors – from Miss Piggy's confrontations with Julie Bowen and Viola Davis to a friendly consolation of Kermit by Joel McHale.
The Muppets is set to premiere on ABC new week, so this promo is just kind of priming of the pump for that. Here is some information on the upcoming series that has been released:
Shot in a handheld style similar to The Office, the new The Muppets series is a mockumentary chronicling the day-to-day duties of the Kermit and co. during production of “Up Late with Miss Piggy,” a late-night talk show starring Miss Piggy. For the first time ever, a series will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, breakups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires.
In the pilot episode, titled “Pig Girls Don’t Cry,” Miss Piggy is furious that Kermit booked Elizabeth Banks as a guest on her late night talk show while Fozzie Bear meets his girlfriend’s parents, and Grammy Award-winning rock band Imagine Dragons performs their new single “Roots.”
The following week’s episode, airing September 29, is titled “Hostile Makeover.” In the episode, Kermit, in an attempt to make Miss Piggy happy, sets her up with Josh Groban who fills her head with ideas on how to make "Up Late with Miss Piggy" better. Meanwhile, Fozzie is invited to a party at Jay Leno’s house and everyone is annoyed that Bobo is selling cookies for his daughter’s troop.
The show was co-created by Bill Prady (The Big Bang Theory) and Bob Kushell (The Simpsons), and it will premiere on September 22nd on ABC.
