Happy Birthday Muppets!
Hard to believe, but the Muppets turned 40 this month! And my favorite segments from “The Muppet Show” are still “Pigs in Space.”
In honor of Carrie Fisher’s appearance on our show last week, we bring you a clip from 1980. It’s the Muppets do “Star Wars” — and even though Fisher didn’t make it aboard the ship, the Muppets offered a class act in her place.
