Guest: George Burns | Episode 10 of Season 2 - The Muppet Show

The Muppet Show is back with yet another hilarious and star-studded episode. The second season has been filled with exciting guests, and now it's time for the legendary actor and comedian, George Burns, to join the Muppets.

The episode kicks off with the classic Muppet band performing an upbeat tune, setting the tone for the rest of the show. Kermit the Frog is his usual charming self and welcomes the audience before introducing the first act of the night.

The episode sees George Burns and the Muppets putting on a variety of acts, including a sketch that sees Kermit and George in a game of "Who Said That?" in which they take it in turns to repeat well-known quotes. The sketch is hilarious and showcases the comedic genius that George Burns was known for.

The Muppet News Flash delivers some ridiculous news before the show moves onto a musical performance by George Burns. He sings "Ain't Misbehavin'" while being backed up by a group of Muppets playing various instruments. It's a delightful performance, and George's voice is still as smooth as ever.

In another sketch, Miss Piggy is convinced that she's meeting Frank Sinatra, only to be disappointed when it turns out to be Frank Oz, the puppeteer behind Fozzie Bear and Animal. The skit is hilarious and shows how much Miss Piggy values fame and fortune.

The show continues with more craziness that includes the Swedish Chef preparing a turkey for Thanksgiving while Sweetums, the giant, attempts to catch him. Gonzo also performs a stunt involving a small car and several Muppets, which predictably goes wrong, making for an entertaining watch.

George Burns and Kermit appear in various other sketches, including one where they attempt to audition for Romeo and Juliet. The duo's comedic timing is on point, and their performance is a highlight of the episode.

The star of the show is, of course, George Burns, who proves that he's still got it even in his eighties. He interacts brilliantly with the Muppets, joining in with their craziness while exhibiting his impeccable comic timing.

Overall, the tenth episode of season two of The Muppet Show is a must-watch for fans of the series and anyone who appreciates good comedy. George Burns is the perfect guest for the Muppets, and the show is a prime example of why The Muppet Show remains a beloved classic to this day.
