Ep 12. Guest: Bernadette Peters

Guest: Bernadette Peters – The Muppet Show season 2 episode 12

The Muppet theater is a buzz with excitement as the talented and revered, Bernadette Peters, arrives for her guest appearance on The Muppet Show season 2 episode 12. Bernadette Peters is an award-winning actress and singer who has starred in various Broadway productions such as Annie Get Your Gun, Into the Woods, and Sunday in the Park with George, to name a few. She has also been a guest star on several television shows and films.

As the show opens, the Muppets are busy preparing for Bernadette Peters' arrival. Kermit, the Frog, the show's host, is busy running around backstage, trying to make sure everything is in order. He is also concerned that the other Muppets will not be able to match the level of talent that Bernadette Peters possesses. Fozzie Bear, the show's resident comedian, tries to calm Kermit down but is unable to do so, leaving Kermit even more stressed out.

Despite his concerns, Kermit is excited to welcome Bernadette Peters to the show. When she arrives, the Muppets give her a warm welcome and show her to her dressing room, which is adorned with flowers and a giant portrait of herself. Bernadette Peters is impressed by the set and the enthusiasm of the Muppets.

Throughout the episode, Bernadette Peters performs several musical numbers, accompanied by the Muppets. One such number is a rendition of "Just One Person," which she performs with Kermit, the Frog. The song is a touching ballad about the importance of every individual, no matter how insignificant they may seem. The song is a favorite of the Muppets and their fans and is a fitting duet for Bernadette Peters and Kermit, the Frog.

Another memorable performance by Bernadette Peters is her rendition of "Old Friends" from the Broadway musical Merrily We Roll Along. The performance is accompanied by Fozzie Bear and his mother and is a hilarious take on the song, in which Fozzie and his mother argue over who is the best comedian in the family.

Other highlights of the episode include appearances by the Muppets' resident hecklers, Statler and Waldorf, who offer their usual snarky commentary on the show. They also engage in a humorous exchange with Bernadette Peters, in which they insult her and she responds with her signature wit and charm.

Overall, The Muppet Show season 2 episode 12 featuring Bernadette Peters is a delightful and entertaining episode that showcases the talents of both the guest star and the Muppets. The musical numbers are exceptional, and the humor is top-notch. The episode is a must-watch for fans of the Muppets, musical theater, and Bernadette Peters.
