Grosse Show für kleine Leute

Grosse Show für kleine Leute ("Große Show für kleine Leute" in German, which translates to "Big Show for Small People") was a German variety show TV special for children that aired in 1984 on ZDF. The show was hosted by Muppet-style full-body character Leopold the penguin and singer/songwriter/producer Rolf Zuckowski.

During an interview section of the show, Uncle Travelling Matt appeared to promote the theatrical release of Die Muppets Erobern Manhattan, presenting the clip "I'm Gonna Always Love You". The Fraggle appeared still a bit stunned from his visit to the city of Hamburg's red-light district St. Pauli - Reeperbahn, where he claimed to have seen the movie.

During the show, a group of children sang the song "Nachts sind wir bei unser'n Freunden" ("At Night We're with Our Friends"), in which they visited several Muppets, among other popular characters from the 1980s, in their dreams (no real Muppets appeared, but illustrations could be seen in the background).

The show's finale song "Lieder die wie Brücken sind" ("Songs That Are Like Bridges") featured a large children's choir made up of children from Hamburg, New York, Tokyo, Warshaw, and Jamaica. Meanwhile, Uncle Travelling Matt could be seen again in the crowd.

The show's songs were later released on MC and LP under Rolf Zuckowski's label "Rolf und seine Freunde" ("Rolf and His Friends").
