d on this show. A group of jungle animals sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", but are interrupted when the lionin question chases them off the set for disturbing his rest. The closing number is a jazz number performed by Billy Crystal and the entire Muppets Tonight cast, when Billy's all-star band doesn't turn up- we learn that this is because Bobo won't let them in, even though they include President Clinton, President Yeltzin, and even Queen Elizabeth II.
4. John Goodman- John Goodman wants a relaxing show, but any hope of that goes out of the window when Andy and Randy Pig assign themselves to be his personal slaves, after he saves them from being electrocuted. The first episode of "Tales From The Vet", sees Dr. Phil Van Neuter, explaining in song (preferably one by Thomas Dolby) how he met his wife, Composta Heap, sister of his assistant, Mulch. The song he sings is "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby. Clifford rolls a clip of John Goodman in a Muppet documentary about the first landing on the moon, called "The Lunar-Mooners", with Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear. Later, Andy and Randy Pig give John Goodman a scalp massage using glue, and he finally ends up in a truckload of mousetraps, and in hospital.
5. Cindy Crawford- The glamorous supermodel steals Bobo's heart. Rizzo tries unsuccessfully to help him win her. The show also includes a clip from "The Kermit The Frog Club", with a young Cindy as one of the Frogketeers, and an episode of Swift Wits, the fastest game show on TV- the two over-enthusiastic contestants refuse to listen to the host's clues to help them identify the mystery object, and consequently lose the game- Winky, a happy little Beaver, loses his life, as he is devoured by Carl, the Big Mean Bunny. Finally, Bobo interrupts Kermit and Cindy's closing number- "I Remember It Well" from the musical, Gigi-, and finally wins Cindy's heart, and they finish the show in grand style, dancing the tango.
6. Tony Bennett- Guest star Tony Bennet appears on a show within a show, hosted by Johnny Fiama. Tony wants to sing a duet with Johnny, who has idolised him for years, but Johnny is overcome with nerves and faints. Johnny is in a terrible mood afterwards, and cruelly sends his assistant, Sal the Monkey, packing. Sal and Tony discuss how they can make Johnny feel better, and Sal dreams up an idea. Johnny has constructed his own Tony Bennet robot. Unbeknown to Johnny, Sal and Tony remove the robot from its case and Tony stands in its place. Johnny turns the robot on to sing with it instead, and finds himself fulfilling his lifelong dream- a duet with the REAL Tony Bennett! They end the show with "Shakin' The Blues Away".
7. Sandra Bullock Guest star Sandra Bullock. A mad bomber man threatens to bomb the theater unless the Muppets Tonight's rating is 50 or higher. So Andy, Randy, Rizzo, Clifford, and Sandra try to keep the rating up and track the bomber down. They barely manage to keep the ratings up. After the demise of two of their most popular acts, Clifford and Rizzo resort to a series of lower profile acts- Frankie the Yak is pulled from the stage thirty seconds into his polka number, and Johnny Fiama's rendition of "Mack The Knife" is interrupted when a shark charges onto the set, chases him off the stage. Seymour the Elephant and Pepe the Prawn attempt to salvage the situation with a vaudeville comedy number, but no-one in the audience gets the joke. They attempt to explain it usig visual aids, but are unsuccessful, and resort to singing the song again- they are dragged off the stage halfway through. Surprisinly, Andy and Randy capture the mad bomber, and, more surprising, it turned out it was Sandra herself, being nervous about the show. In the end, she ends up playing in a one man band after the show. This episode was originally set to air on ABC on April 19, 1996, but executives pulled the episode from TGIF's lineup at the last minute so as not to coincide with the 1st anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. The episode would have aired that day had it not been about someone making a bomb threat. The episode was reaired in its entirety two months later.
8. Jason Alexander- Gonzo is very excited that his old school chum, Jason Alexander, is starring on the Muppet Show. They agree to perform a medley from their hit musical, "Bats", but things don't go according to plan during the warm-up, and they end up falling out. Jason refuses to work with Gonzo ever again, but Clifford, after a LOT of effort, finally manages to persuade him to reconsider- although even then, he only agrees in order to get "this stupid elephant" (Seymour) off his back! The show also featured a parody of "Agatha Christie's Poirot", with Jason in the title role, and the Muppets mistaking him for Hercules, |
