Kermit the Forg



A gray monster with a green nose, Kermit the Forg can be seen in a Sesame Street sketch in which Kermit the Frog is frustrated in his attempts to buy a personalized t-shirt from the T-Shirt Salesman. The sketch also features Kermit the Gorf and Kermit the Grof.

The monster also appeared, unnamed, performing the song "Near and Far" with three other monsters (one of which was a very early Elmo).

The Kermit the Forg wordplay was reprised in the Muppet Show episode with guest star Harry Belafonte (Episode 3.14, 1978), which included a running gag involving Fozzie Bear writing the script for the show as it went along. Kermit's opening monologue began: "Hi ho, Kermit the Forg here...Kermit the Forg? Fozzie this is not going to work!"
