Episode 313: Helen Reddy

Kermit tells his new janitor Beauregard to clean up the theater. Unfortunately, the utterly incompetent Bo uses axle grease to clean the floor, which causes everyone to slip around. "Bo, what kind of idiot are you?" Kermit shouts. "I didn't know there was a choice!" Bo answers.

Later, Bo greases up a spot on the stage, which ruins Fozzie's dance number. Kermit tells Bo to spread a little sand around the greasy areas, and Bo covers the backstage in huge sand dunes. Then he sweeps the sand onto the stage -- so at the last minute, Kermit changes the closing number to an Arab desert number, in which Helen dances with Sopwith the Camel.
