The muppet show kenny rogers

Jim Henson throughout his career found great joy in pieces involving slapstick puppetry where characters would be beaten, eaten, bruised, and battered. The episode of The Muppet Show with country music icon Kenny Rogers is no exception.

Throughout the show, Kermit is hurled from a circus trapeze, is clobbered by an overhead light in a Veterinarian’s Hospital segment, tumbles down a staircase in a wheelchair, and is sent flying through the air in a catapult belonging to the Great Gonzo, where he lands in Statler and Waldorf’s stage left theatre balcony.

With Kermit in a wheelchair due to a twisted flipper and numerous other afflictions, the other Muppets keep the show going by introducing acts with Kermit’s signature arm flailing “Yaay,” and by keeping guest star, Kenny Rogers assured that the show will go on.

Rogers, who was born in Houston, Texas, had his first musical hit at the age of 19 with the song, “Crazy Feeling.” He has collaborated with many singers, including Dolly Parton, throughout his successful career, has done 32
