Muppet Guest Spots

 * October 2, 2007 - Count von Count appeared briefly in "The Counting Room" on Jimmy Kimmel's insert (voiced by Jerry Nelson), which was supposed to give viewers some insight on how the audience's votes were counted. He's forced to reset the counting, when Kimmel tells him that Mel B. and Scary Spice are the same person.


 * September 28, 2009 - Gonzo and Animal. Animal appeared before Aaron Carter's and Karina Smirnoff's dance playing the drum intro before they danced to The Muppet Show Theme.  Gonzo blew the trumpet at the judges' table at the end of the number, into judge Bruno Tonioli's ear.  In the interview before the scores, Samantha Harris makes a passing reference to Kermit the Frog because of Aaron Carter's green tuxedo.
